content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=262 , retrieved 11-29-2011: Moccasin pants Tlingit chiefs and nobles wore fringed and beaded moccasin-pants made from tanned caribou hide. The clothing was acquired through trade with the Tahltan, Tutchone, Ahtna, and other Athabascan peoples. Bands of colorful trade beads recreate old-style designs formerly made with dyed porcupine quills. See also the remarks for the shirt from this clothing set, E168297-0. The Sharing Knowledge website entry on the shirt notes that its beadwork style is probably Interior Tlingit or Tahltan.
