Notes:

Note: original cultural attribution was Premorska tribe, which was later changed to Premorska Eskimo, and object has been listed in the electronic database as Kutchin. On p. 287, B.A.E. Bulletin 30, Pt. 1, entry under Chnagmiut (a Bering Strait Yup'ik group), it is noted that "Premorska" is a name sometimes used for these people, derived from Russian - "people of the sea." Premorska has also been referenced by Dall (p. 223 in Alaska and Its Resources, 1870) as a name applied by the Russians to the Kuigpagmiut Yup'ik.
