content: Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".

content: From card: "4 pins. 172 [circular wooden] disks. Seem to be parts of 11 different sets. One gambling disc sent as a gift to The Hastings Museum, Hastings, Nebr., Nov. 3, 1927." These artifacts are described and discussed on pp. 253-4 of the Stick Game section of "Games of the North American Indians" by Stewart Culin, in the Bureau of American Ethnology 24th Annual Report. Culin identifies them as possibly Snohomish, but notes that it is not possible to determine the tribe exactly.
