content: According to statements recorded in the Accession file Check List from the donor: "We believe that Mr. Francis B. Zahn of Fort Yates, North Dakota gave it [the drum] to my mother, Mrs. Luella J. Woodall, perhaps in the 1930s. My brother and I are not sure..." Francis B. Zahn presumably refers to Francis "Frank" Benjamin Zahn Sr. (1891 - 1966) from the Standing Rock Reservation.
