Whistles, such as this two-toned one, are secretly blown during the Tseyka to signal the first approach of a Hamatsa dancer who is possessed by the Cannibal Spirit. Horns were used in the Tlasula, after the disappearance of the initiate dancer, to announce his or her return in the guise of a supernatural being.

This headdress was worn by George Hunt's daughter-in-law, Tlakwagilayookwa (Sara Smith Hunt, later Martin) who played Naida, in Edward S. Curtis' film In the Land of the Head Hunters, 1914.

Worn by participants in the Tseyka, these neck ring ornaments in the Burke Museum collection consist of a set of three carved and painted wooden plaques, representing the tail and flippers of a whale. There may have been a fourth piece representing the whale's head in the set. They were probably sewn to a rope-like ring of dyed cedar bark, perhaps 18 cm in diameter, which could be conceived of as the body of the whale. The bifurcate tail with a humanoid face for the joint hangs down the back of the wearer, while the two similarly decorated flippers stand out to the sides of the chest.
