content: 72683, 72684, 72696 and 72697 are identified as Swan original # 45. Swan's list in the accession file identifies # 45 as "3 Indian baskets from Sitka, and wooden canoe bailer." Because of this listing, the canoe bailer was assumed by the cataloguer as from Sitka as well and catalogue card identifies it as Sitka Tlingit. Note however that Anthropology staffer George Phebus (listed as GP on catalogue card) comments that this canoe bailer is similar in form to Makah canoe bailers.
