content: From card: "People: (Pima and Maricopas) prob. Papago* **. Remarks: a section of cane forming two tubes separated by the joint. Two holes are made from the outside into the cavity with the unbroken septum of the joint between them. A groove is made on the outside from one hole to the other. Covering the upper hole and the groove with a bandage and blowing in the upper tubes the bandage directs the wind from the upper hole against the lower edge of the lower hole producing a sound like a whistle. The lower tube has three finger holes. The outside is directed with triangles colored black and red and arranged geometrically. Illus. In Bulletin 136, USNM, p1. 15-c, p. 128. *Dr. R. W. Payne, of Oklahoma City who has made an intensive study of these says this is a typical Papago item. March 1969. **Hoefer, 1973. I agree.”
