content: Shirley Kendall, Virginia Oliver, and Alan Zuboff made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This robe is made of moose-hide, winter moose in particular according to Alan, and isn't smoked. This object is only top-stitched, not stitched all the way through. Virginia noted the presence of porcupine quills and commented that she didn't know Tlingits had fringed garments such as this. Alan commented that the wood with the object looks like something that would be on armor.
