content: There is an old note on this artifact group in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book, source unknown and accuracy unknown: "Woman's coat is not Lappish [not Sami] but Swedish, from Dalarne [Dalarna]. The womans boots are Ostyakish or Samoyedish." Per Wikipedia entry on Ostyak, retrieved 26 June 2019: "Ostyak is a name formerly used to refer to several indigenous peoples and languages in Siberia, Russia. Both the Khanty people and the Ket people were formerly called Ostyaks, whereas the Selkup people were referred to as Ostyak-Samoyed." Per entry on Nenets in Wikipedia: "In old Russian documents the term Samoyed was often applied indiscriminately to different peoples of Northern Russia who speak related Uralic languages: Nenets, Nganasans, Enets, Selkups (speakers of Samoyedic languages)."
