Wooden Image Of Indian Doctor Representing The Effect Of Starvation Item Number: E60209-0 from the National Museum of Natural History

Notes

McLean list in accession file identifies this object as Chilcat. It appears that Chilcat may be meant as a place name on this list, perhaps not specifically or exclusively as a culture name, similar to the way other objects in the collection are identified as Sitka, Kootzahoo, and Hoonia. Chilcat/Chilkat is a name sometimes used for Klukwan.
