This object was catalogued in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book as Tlingit, Cook's Strait, Alaska. However, written on part of the object in Swan's hand is this information: "Thunder Bird Headdress made and worn by Aitl yu [??] Clyokwat Chief. Vancouver Island, B.C. - James G. Swan, Port Townsend, W.T. Sep. 8 1881." Also, an old tag on the artifact identifies it as "Nootka headdress for Hokoala. Ring of red wool in place of red cedar bark." It is unclear from records if E46496 and 46497 are related objects?
