content: Collector Emmons in accession record information (which has been added to the catalogue card) attributes this piece as: "held a long time in the Taqwayta (accession record) / Tagwayta (catalogue card) family of the Hootz-ah-tai gwan through many generations of chiefs." It can be assumed that the Taqwayta/Tagwayta family probably refers to the Teikweidi clan. Provenance for this object is probably similar/same to that of E221184, i.e. purchased by Emmons in 1903 from a member of the Teikweidi clan in Killisnoo or Angoon, Alaska (see remarks for E221184).
