content: Rios Pacheco, Cultural Advisor for the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, said the quiver is otter pelt not beaver. Otter fur is shorter and softer than beaver, which is coarser and longer; see E19834 (shirt made of beaver pelt) for the difference in hair length and coarseness. Also, it is long and has a tail on it like an otter unlike a beaver pelt that is round when removed.
