content: E167319 and E167320 were received from Miss Emma Sickels and recorded in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book July 21, 1893. E167319 was returned to Miss Sickels June 9, 1894, per the ledger book. After checking the NMNH Registrar's transaction cards, and also checking with the Smithsonian Institution Archives, to date no accession number has been identified for this material. SI Archives records do indicate Miss Sickels lending and then asking for the return of various artifacts. Given the return of E167319 to Miss Sickels, is is possible that E167320 was a loan from Miss Sickels and is unregistered? Given Miss Sickels' extensive interactions with Lakota people, particularly on the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota (and Nebraska), and the identification of the bracelets as Oglala, it is possible these bracelets were acquired from Pine Ridge.
