content: Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".

content: From card: "4 beaver teeth [dice]. 28 counters [Stewart Culin identifies as radial bones of birds, used as dice/game counters.] Illus. in BAE 24th AR [Stewart Culin, "Games of the North American Indians"], figs 182/183; p. 156; also in USNM Rept, 1896; fig. 69, p. 746." Culin identifies these as possibly Snohomish, but notes that it is not possible to determine the tribe exactly.
