content: Between two conflicting dates suggested by Eison, 1862 or 1890, Sturtevant has more confidence in 1890, but calls for conformation by professional photographer examining glass plate negative. (Sturtevant letter to Eison, May 9, 1969, in National Anthropological Archives Accession file.)

content: After examination of the sticks used by the team in the photograph, William Sturtevant identified them as representative of Southern Indian variant of lacrosse, and therefore, designated the tribe Southeastern, probably Cherokee in Indian Territory (modern Oklahoma); or, less likely, Creek in Indian Territory, Choctaw in Indian Territory or Mississippi; or North Carolina Cherokee.
