content: From typed note with artifact: "These moccasins were found within the collectin bearing a tag marked "Delaware. Stone 1975". The specimen is one of 15 items donated to the museum by Mrs. Virginia Dorsey Lightfoot in 1966. The accession papers state that "with the excption of a small basket attributed to the Biloxi Indians, the items are from the Ponca." Since there was no accompanying documentation to explain Mr. Stone's decision to change the designation to Delaware (nor accompanying information about Mr. Stone and his familiarity with the tribes in question), the moccasins shall be reassigned to the Ponca and stored accordingly, until future information, with proper documentation, becomes available. 1/17/85 Lee Miller".
