Description
In Clan At.óowu in Distant Lands, Zachary Jones provides an overview of Tlingit collections held by museums in Europe and Russia and breaks the ground in providing documentation on where these objects reside abroad. The paper includes a table showing museums that have Tlingit pieces and the approximate sizes of their collections. It also provides some details on the items plus a few photos, including an image of a very unusual war helmet depicting a woman wearing a labret.
Sealaska Heritage's Box of Knowledge series consists of essays, reports, and books that institute considers should be made available as a contribution to studies on Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures, history, and languages. They may be based on work carried out by researchers working in collaboration with SHI, contributions prepared by external experts, and work by staff.
