content: FROM CARD: "SMALL IRREGULAR HEXAGONAL PIECE OF MIRROR IN A FLAT PIECE OF WOOD IN THE SHAPE OF A BOAR [sic]. ON THE BACK IS SCRATCHED IN PENCIL: "WAHACANKATO ?" AND ON THE BOTTOM ANOTHER INSCRIPTION ?. ILLUS. EWERS, JOHN C. PLAINS INDIAN SCULPTURE; FIG. 193, PG. 197. IDENTIFIED THERE AS BEAR EFFIGY MIRROR FRAME; PINE BOARD WITH INLAID GLASS. INVENTORIED 1978." PROVENIENCE NOTE: IN THE LEDGER AND CARD CATALOG, "MINI WAKAN L." APPEARS AS PART OF THE LOCALE DESIGNATION. THIS IS VERY LIKELY A CORRUPTION OF "MINI WAUKON CHANTE," THE OLD INDIAN NAME FOR THE LAKE WHICH EARLY SETTLERS HAD MISTAKENLY GLOSSED AS "DEVIL'S LAKE."
