Notes

Unclear how tribal and geographic affiliation was determined - accession book does not indicate either. Historical data file has one notation that just says "Iroquois" with no description of items. There are five pairs of moccasins listed under "Sioux bead work" in historical data file. Some visual similarities to other Iroquois moccasins on the internet.
