From card: "A circular stone, 2 in. thick with cavities for the fingers. Used in driving stakes to support the weirs for eulachon water game."This object has a glued on label on one side from "[B.] C. & Alaska Indian Bazaar. 43 Johnson Street, Victoria, B.C. [Canada]", from which Emmons presumably purchased it. Also, carving on one side resembles a frowning face.Listed on page 49 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the Northwest Coast Tribes (Tools)".

From card: "Represents "Tso-no-quoa" and used in "Tso no quoa" dance (See Boas page 496)."

FROM CARD: "WOMAN'S NO. 168354 FISH-KNIFE. (YAKUTAT)."Provenience note: List in accession file (this object is # 17 on list) appears to attribute this to the Yakutat Tlingit of Yakutat. List identifies this object as a "Woman's fish knife ... consisting of an iron blade set in a wooden handle, used by women to split and cut fish (halibut and salmon) for sun drying and curing for winter use."

FROM CARD: "CARVED. WORN BY MEDICINE-MAN. 6 PENDANTS ILLUS. IN USNM REPT, 1895; PL. 9; P. 768."List in accession file identifies #s 34 (E168370), 35 (E168371), and 36 (E168372) as "Bone necklaces worn by medicine men when practicing about the sick." The heading above the listing for #33 (E168369) says: "These three pieces [which is presumed to apply to #33, 34, and 35] were brought by the Chilkaht Indian traders + packers from the Gunannao? [word hard to read] people who live about the headwaters of the Yukon River." The museum cataloguer has interpreted Gunannao to be Gonaho, i.e. Gunahoo/Gunaaxoo or the Dry Bay Tlingit, and has listed that designation for E168369 - E168373. It may be instead that this is a version of the word Gunana, i.e. Athabaskan (including Tutchone, Tagish ...), as the Chilkat traded with them. The Yukon River location seems to support this, as that would apply to the Athabaskans, not the Gunaaxoo Tlingit. (See p. 57 in Emmons, George Thornton, and Frederica De Laguna. 1991.
