content: Accession Number Unknown

content: FROM CARD: "ROBE WOVEN OF STRIPS OF FUR. COMPOSED OF STRIPS OF FUR SKIN TWINED TOGETHER WITH CORDS OF CEDAR BARK FORMING A LOOSE AND FLIMSY TEXTURE WORN OVER THE SHOULDERS OR AROUND THE LOINS. WIDTH, 30", LENGTH, 41". *LABEL READS: "SALISH INDIANS, WASHINGTON; COLLECTED BY CAPT. CHARLES WILKES, U. S. NAVY."

content: See p. 83 in Salish Weaving by Paula Gustafson, University of Washington Press, 1980. Gustafson says that the FBI did a scientific analysis of some of the hair fibers from this blanket for her, and that the analysis indicated that the hair most closely resembled that of the coyote. The Anthropology Dept. does not have a copy of this FBI analysis in its files, and Gustafson (who is now deceased), could not locate it in her files when contacted in 2005. Additional sampling/analysis was done on the hair of this blanket in 2004. The strips of skin/fur that make up this textile were identified as including both coyote and Salish wool or woolly dog (see Anthropology Conservation Lab sampling file "Loychuk 2004.").

content: There is some question as to who the collector/donor of this artifact was. It has been possibly attributed to the Wilkes/U.S. Exploring Expedition on the catalogue card, but Jane Walsh based on her research with the records of the U.S. Exploring Expedition questions that attribution. Wilkes attribution is indeed questionable, as no Peale number has yet been identified for this piece. Some other possible donors would be the National Institute or George Gibbs? Donor is blank in original Anthropology catalogue ledger book. Object was entered into the Anthropology catalogue ledger book in December 1866. Per Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa, 2023, see also list of artifacts in George Gibbs Notebooks of Scientific Observations of the Pacific Northwest. Western Americana Collection, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, WA MSS S-1810, notebook "Washington Territory Miscellaneous, Chiefly Natural History [ca. 1857]," Box 1, Folder 3, page image 41r https://collections.library.yale.edu/catalog/14462281?child_oid=14462872 and page image 63v https://collections.library.yale.edu/catalog/14462281?child_oid=14462917 . See also 2024 information from Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa on the possible provenance of this textile to George Gibbs in pdf attached to this record.

content: Reference: Solazzo, C., S. Heald, M.W. Ballard, D.A. Ashford, P.T. DePriest, R.J. Koestler, and M. Collins. 2011. Proteomics and Coast Salish blankets: A tale of shaggy dogs? Antiquity 85: 1418-1432. http://antiquity.ac.uk/ant/085/ant0851418.htm . Identified there as a fur robe - strips of Salish wool or woolly dog fur pelt held together with cedar bark cordage; alternating rows of brown and yellow to white fur; both coarse guard hair and fine under hair are present. The differing hair lengths and colors suggest that more than one dog was used in the robe's construction.

The horseback figure withe eaglewing fan [on E405251A] does not resemble Pueblo figures. It has been assumed that they belong with the Ponca material, but there is no proof of this."

content: Provenience note, in 1841 Oregon Territory encompassed the land from Russian Alaska to Spanish California and from the Pacific to the Continental Divide. The U.S. Exploring Expedition did not go to Canada, but did reach Oregon Territory in 1841, and carried out a hydrographic survey of the Columbia River from its mouth to the Cascades, as well as doing some surveying inland.They had dealings with Hudson's Bay Company staff during that time, and it is probable that the HBC is the source of a number of the Northwest Coast artifacts collected by the expedition.

content: FROM CARD: "FACIAL PAINTING IN RED; BLACK PAINTED EYEBROWS AND HAIR. Inscribed on forehead: "the women of a tribe near Fort Simpson on the NW Coast of America; lat. 54° 30'. ORIGINAL NUMBER IS EITHER 302 OR 303 IN THE PEALE CATALOG."

content: ILLUS. FIG. 34, P. 59, DISCUSSED P. 58, IN DOWN FROM THE SHIMMERING SKY BY PETER MACNAIR, VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, 1998. IDENTIFIED THERE BY PETER MACNAIR AS MASK REPRESENTING WOMAN WITH LABRET, KAIGANI HAIDA.

content: Illus. Fig. 66, p. 173, and described on p. 172 in Penney, David W. 2012. The American Indian: art & culture between myth & reality. Amsterdam: Museumshop De Nieuwe Kerk: "Mask, Haida, before 1840. This and a small group of additional masks and headdresses were made by an unknown Haida carver active before 1840 when they were purchased that year by the United States Exploring Expedition commanded by Lt. Charles Wilkes from Hudson's Bay Company Employees he met in what is now Oregon. For some time, scholars had confused these masks with the work of the so-called 'Jenna Master' due to the similarity of their style and the fact that they both created masks representing Haida women with large labrets. Close comparison of the masks and analysis of the historical record indicates that the Jenna master did not make the Wilkes masks and was most likely a generation older. Haida Gwaii had been frequented by whalers, traders in sea otter pelts, and other outsiders in the burgeoning trans-Pacific trade since the late 18th century and the earliest masks and carvings in museum collections today were purchased by these early visitors. Chiefs would have been reluctant to sell their ceremonial possessions so evidently carvers responded to those who desired to purchase masks and regalia by making carvings to sell or trade."

content: "Captain McNeal" of the Hudson's Bay Company may refer to William Henry McNeill, who did meet Wilkes/the U.S. Exploring Expedition in 1841. At the time of the expedition McNeill was Captain of the Hudson's Bay Company vessel S.S. Beaver, the first steamship on the Pacific coast,

content: A spear was labeled with the number E3898 but was not recorded on the catalog card for 3898. It appears it may once have been recorded on card for 3899-3900, but was subsequently crossed off. Identification on that card calls the objects Malay, E. Ind. Archipelago.

content: Peale catalogue describes # 68 and 69 as "War spears, the heads of which are beautifully wrought in damasked "woots", by the Sooloo [Sulu] Islanders [Philippines]; obtained from the Datu [chief, head of a tribe or clan] of Soung." "Damasked" is presumably Damasked steel or, more commonly, Damascus steel. "Woots", again refers to a type of steel, and is more properly spelled wootz. By these terms they are presumably indicating a form of steel often called watered steel, because of patterns on the steel reminiscent of flowing water.
