label: Notes
content: This kayak and kayak paddle were originally catalogued as 166932, and the number was then later changed to 160380. The kayak as # 160380 was transferred to the Denver Art Museum in 1947, and is now Denver Art Museum # 1947.226, but one single blade paddle associated with the kayak remains in the Anthropology collections as of 2013. This paddle has been stored under its original catalogue number of 166932. Accession files indicate the kayak and paddle were originally accessioned under number 26892, and are described in those accession papers. They are also, apparently erroneously, listed on the accession card in the accession file for accession number 27937 (which is the number given to former deposit accession 25562 when it was purchased in 1894). Because the kayak/paddle is described in accession 26892, it has been decided to retain that accession number for it.
