notes: label: Collection History
content: The knife and sheath came from different Native owners and were artificially paired when they were catalogued: the knife was formerly owned by Louis Osunkhilain (St. Francis Abenaki) and collected from William Paquette (St. Francis Abenaki) in 1922 by anthropologist A. Irving Hallowell (1892-1974) during fieldwork sponsored by MAI; the sheath was formerly owned by Eli L. Wawanolet's father and collected from Eli L. Wawanolet by A. Irving Hallowell during the same collecting trip.
