From card: "Wooden staff of Indian doctor used in incantations."E60210 and E60211 are both catalogued as doctor's staffs. There are 2 entries in the list in the accession file that appear to describe these objects. One entry lists "1 carved, long staff, Doctors, [from] Kootzahoo (i.e. Hutsnuwu Tlingit). The other entry lists "1 medicine stick, long, [from] Hoonia" (i.e. Hoonah). Unfortunately, it is unclear which description applies to which staff, though it can be speculated that the carved staff may be E60210?
