content: Entered in the original ledger catalog as from the War Department to the National Institute, with no locality given. Most of this collection was entered into the catalog in 1866-67, but a few items evidently found at later dates were believed to be from the War Dept were so cataloged at later dates. This item is part of a series of five items entered into the catalog in 1874. A number of errors in cataloging have been found in other late entries for acquisitions received from the National Institute, and the identification of the source must be considered uncertain. However, this pipe stem with a calumet-style ray of pendant feathers and coarse cotton ties is similar to other items in the War Department collection. Like them, it is probably from the tribes of the Missouri River or Western Great Lakes.
