9. TWINED SPRUCE ROOT HAT Haida-style weaving; Kwakwaka'wakw-style painting; rings from a different hat This hat has been altered from its original form. It appears that parts of two separate hats have been joined together, the basketry rings and the crown of the hat (at the top) have been joined to the flaring sides.

This headdress was worn by George Hunt's daughter-in-law, Tlakwagilayookwa (Sara Smith Hunt, later Martin) who played Naida, in Edward S. Curtis' film In the Land of the Head Hunters, 1914.
