content: The original finding aid entry read "Notes on Assiniboine scalplock from C. A. Wooden." Also included was Sitting Bull's scalplock, which was loaned to the museum in 1896. It was repatriated to Sitting Bull's lineal descendents in 2008. This folder now includes 1) Memo from archivist Paula Fleming to Dennis Stanford on 10/28/1997 regarding the scalplock, with a later typewritten entry indicating that it has been transferred to the Processing Lab; 2) Two photographic negatives and black-and-white prints depicting front and back images of the scalplock.
