content: Note that catalog card and ledger book list culture as "Agluchmiut". This appears to be a mistranscription or mistake, as this is not recognized as a language or culture term in this area. Egegik is a Yup'ik village, but it is adjacent to Sugpiaq lands, and Fisher collected heavily in Sugpiaq villages, so the mittens and boots (E90460 - E90462) could be either Yup'ik or Sugpiaq.
