content: In January 2023, Ahtna community members visited with this Chief's coat, also called an honor coat. This coat is made of tanned moosehide, and in their language the Ahtna call it a deniigi zes dghaec (moosehide coat). During the January 2023 visit, Agnes Denny (Chief of Chistochina, AK; Tribal Administrator, Cheesh'na Tribal Council), identified this as likely made by an Ahtna skin sewer, based on specific design elements recognized by Agnes.
