- Donor Name
- James G. Swan
- Florence Sheakley, elder, Virginia Oliver, and Ruth Demmert, elder, made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This object could be brought out at certain times as at.oow (clan property), but was not necessarily always used as at.oow. The designs on this object do not necessarily reflect clan affiliations, as that trend occurred later on. People often carved their own materials to designate they created them.
