(THE SHIRT WAS WILLED TO PROFESSOR OTIS T. MASON, WHO PRESENTED IT TO THE MUSEUM IN MR. SHAW'S NAME). ... FROM ACCESSION FILE, A NOTE FROM H.F. ROBINSON, IRRIGATION ENGINEER AND SURVEYOR, PHOENIX: "THIS SHIRT WAS GOTTEN BY MR. SHAW IN THE VILLAGE OF HAVI-SUPAI INDIANS IN CATARACT CANON (SIC) IN THIS TERRITORY... . AS NEAR AS MR. SHAW WAS ABLE TO GATHER, YEARS AGO THESE SHIRTS WERE GENERALLY WORN BY THE MEN OF THE TRIBE, BUT AFTER THE ADVENT OF THE WHITE TRADER, AND HIS CHEAPER SHIRTS, THEY BECAME OBSOLETE, AND FOR MANY YEARS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AT ALL. THEY WERE OF NATIVE WEAVE, AND MADE AS WERE THE "VAYETA" BLANKETS OF THE NAVAJOS, OF UNTWISTED YARN FROM SPANISH OR OTHER CLOTH. DILIGENT SEARCH ON THE PART OF MR. SHAW FAILED TO DISCOVER ANOTHER SHIRT OF THIS MATERIAL AND WEAVE IN THE WHOLE TRIBE."
