From card for E23523-46: "Dec 20, 1972, Bill Holm says that these are definitely Haida."Cultural ID for paddles E23523 - 23546 is somewhat in question. They were catalogued as Clallam, Bill Holm has identified them as Haida, but James Swan in correspondence in the accession file references 24 Bella Bella paddles.

From card: "Purchased of O. F. Northrup. Illus. in USNM AR, 1888; Pl. 25, fig. 107; p. 284. [Dagger is identified in this publication as Tlingit type.] "carved to resemble a sharks head.""

Length of lower blade, 12 5/8 inches; length of upper blade, 5 inches. Copper River Indians (Athapaskan stock), Alaska. Collected by James G. Swan. This dagger is clearly of the Tlinkit type, and was procured by the Copper River Indians through trade."Provenience note: This object appears on Swan list in accession file under # 2 on Masset list. Object is listed as from Fort Wrangel [a.k.a. Wrangell], Alaska, collected 1883, from O.F. Northrup, and is listed as made by Atna River Indians, Alaska. The entry on this object in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book says Atna, Copper River, purchased from O.F. Northrup. (Note that there was an Oscar F. Northrop in the fur business in Wrangell, which may be the same man?) Dagger is attributed as Tlingit type on old museum exhibit label and in USNM AR for 1888 (see remarks above).
