content: FROM CARD: "SINGLE WOODEN SHAFTS, 3 SIMILAR ONES WITH 3 STRAIGHT LENGTHWISE GROOVES IN EACH, PAINTED BANDS OF BLUE AND GREEN AROUND BETWEEN THE 3 FEATHERS, WHICH ARE BOUND ON WITH SINEW. DEEP SPREADING NOCK, TRIANGULAR POINTS OF STEEL (ONE MISSING) BOUND WITH SINEW (THREAD ON ONE ADDED LATER). THIS ONE LONGER ARROW, UNGROOVED, PAINTED RED BANDS WHERE MISSING FEATHERS WERE AND THE STEEL HEAD OF LANCEOLATE SHAPE. AS RECEIVED, WERE BOUND ABOUT 1 INCH APART WITH BUCKSKIN, NEAR THE FEATHERS, THIS UNDOUBTEDLY NOT ORIGINAL, BUT DONE BY RECENT OWNER. THESE WERE ACQUIRED FROM CHIEF GALL'S HUNKPAPA BAND (CUSTER BATTLE, 1876), IN 1881." PROVENIENCE NOTE: THE CARD CATALOG GIVES "POPLAR CREEK, MONTANA" AS PROVENIENCE. GIVEN THE COLLECTION DATE, THIS IS LIKELY THE POPLAR CREEK AGENCY, OPENED 1880, ON THE FORT PECK RESERVATION; AS THIS SITE GREW INTO A TOWN, THE NAME CHANGED, IN 1892, TO SIMPLY "POPLAR," NOW PART OF ROOSEVELT COUNTY.
