Washington, United States, North America
Accession Date:
1876
Notes:
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.
