Not Given, Tulalip Reservation, Washington Territory, United States, North America
Accession Date:
29 Oct 1889
Notes:
Catalogue card calls this a "sword float". Anthropology ledger book appears to call this a "snood float." According to the accession record, it is a wooden bird-shaped float for fishing, to which fish hooks and a line are attached. See related object sturgeon hooks E130991. See accession record for more detailed description of this object and its use.
Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".
