Blanket Item Number: E418684A-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
Shgen George, weaver, and Florence Sheakley, elder, made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This blanket has a commonly used diving whale design, but some of the details are unusual: side braids were never attached, some of the lines are too thick, some of the weaving is too tight, and there is black in some of the corners where there would normally be blue.According to Helen Alten during visit on 8/29/24, this blanket was possibly woven by Jennie Warren (Warne).
