content: Re-identified as stylistically Seminole or Creek, probably first half of 19th century, by Candace Greene 2020 in consultation with Jason Jackson. The basis for the origin catalog identification as Chippewa is not known. The donor evidently did not offer a tribal identification at the time of donation (1952), only that it was acquired "more than 100 years ago." It was the only item in the accession. In support of that age, the catalog card notes comparison to E2112, collected prior to 1842. Research visitor Ted Brasser noted that E2112 was stylistically Southeastern. For comparison, see E380668 and NMAI 8/4299 and 24/4150 and 24/4151. From card: Donor stated that this pouch had been in her family several generations, and was said to have been found on an Indian battlefield more than 100 years ago. The type of pouch is represented by a documented specimen in the U.S. National Museum known to have been collected prior to 1842 – Cat. No. 2,112.
