content: There appears to have been some confusion during the cataloguing of the Powell collections. The default cultural designation for many of the artifacts was "Paiute". In addition, Powell apparently brought clothing of White River Ute manufacture he had previously collected in Colorado to southern Utah in 1873 to 'dress up' the Kaibab Paiute - see for Example # E10799. Some of these Ute materials were then apparently subsequently catalogued/recatalogued by the Smithsonian to the "default" Paiute designation. This dress has similar characteristics to some of the Ute dresses in the Powell collections.
