content: Listed as "Woman's saddle," in Fowler and Matley (1979) with the following remarks: "Two women's saddles (USNM 17197, 17198) and a set of saddle bags (USNM 17222) are listed in Powell's (1878) catalog as 'Kaibab Southern Paiute.' But comments in the National Museum accessions catalog indicate Uintah Valley Ute. We assume the latter assignment is correct for several reasons: One, the dates of accession are June 1875. Two, Powell's 1874 field season started in midsummer and lasted until the end of the year. Therefore, any items Powell collected would not have been deposited in the National Museum for cataloging until 1875. Three, Powell spent the entire 1874 field season in the Uintah Mountains and specifically reported studying the Uintah and Seuvarits Utes who lived nearby (Fowler and Fowler, editors, 1971:12)." p. 78
