content: FROM CARD: "GRASS & BARK. 09-03-86 LENT TO YAKIMA NATION MUSEUM LOAN RETURNED 9/22/1987." ANTHROPOLOGY CATALOGUE LEDGER BOOK IDENTIFIES THIS OBJECT AS "WALLA WALLAS" WITHOUT MAKING IT CLEAR WHETHER THIS IS A PEOPLE OR LOCALITY DESIGNATION. THE CATALOGUE CARD LISTS "WALLA WALLAS" UNDER THE LOCALITY HEADING ONLY. IN THE COMPUTER CATALOGUE, CULTURE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS "WALLAWALLA" BASED ON THIS INFORMATION. IN A LETTER DATED TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK, JANUARY 9, 1888, DONOR/COLLECTOR ANNA C. MCBEAN WRITES: "THE BASKET LOOKING ARTICLE ENCLOSED IS AN INDIAN WOMAN'S HAT. I GOT IT FROM ONE OF THE REMNANTS OF THE TRIBE THAT KILLED THE MISSIONARY DR. WHITMAN AND FAMILY NEAR WALLA WALLA." AS THE CAYUSE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLINGS AT WHITMAN MISSION AND THEY RESIDE NEAR WALLA WALLA, THE CULTURAL DESIGNATION FOR THIS ARTIFACT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO CAYUSE.
