label: Notes

content: FROM CARD: "INVENTORIED 1975. ILLUS.: HNDBK. N. AMER. IND., VOL. 11, GREAT BASIN, FIG. 4D, PG. 376." Handbook identifies as a girl's dress, Kaibab Paiute, and notes elk teeth decoration.

content: Illustrated in Fowler and Matley (1979) (Figure 31).

content: Culture attribution as Kaibab Paiute per Fowler and Matley (1979)

content: There appears to have been some confusion during the cataloguing of the Powell collections. The default cultural designation for many of the artifacts was "Paiute". In addition, Powell apparently brought clothing of White River Ute manufacture he had previously collected in Colorado to southern Utah in 1873 to 'dress up' the Kaibab Paiute - see for Example # E10799. Some of these Ute materials were then apparently subsequently catalogued/recatalogued by the Smithsonian to the "default" Paiute designation. This dress has similar characteristics to some of the Ute dresses in the Powell collections.

content: There is one catalogue card for Catalogue Nos. 285565 - 285639. There is a notation on the back of this card "Japanese Samurai Temporary Exhibt April - July, 1971." Presumably a selection of one or a few sword guards from this catalogue number range were included in the exhibit, but a list with the specific catalogue numbers has not so far been located.

content: Illus. Fig. 169, pp. 174-5 in Crowell, Aron, Amy F. Steffian, and Gordon L. Pullar. 2001. Looking both ways: heritage and identity of the Alutiiq people. Fairbanks, Alaska: University of Alaska Press. Identified there as a sinew-backed bow, probably from the Alaska Peninsula. Painted figures on this bow include bears, birds, caribou, and hunters with rifles. Note: card for E2535, a quiver or case, indicates it is the container for E2528 - E2534.

content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=12, retrieved 8-29-2012: Bow, Sugpiaq (Alutiiq). qitguyaq "bow" - Language: Koniag Sugpiaq (Alaska Peninsula dialect) Wooden bows backed with sinew cord were powerful and accurate weapons. Hunters carried them on their kayaks for sea otter hunting and on land for taking bears, caribou, mountain goats, and other game. Images of many different animals are painted on this bow: caribou, bear, beaver, whale, and some not easy to identify. The entire bow is reddened, perhaps with berry juice.
