Hide tipi bag with beaded front design of crosses, centered in two turquoise bands edged with yellow. The sides have inset beadwork with tin cones inserted with red fabric tassels.

This is a dark blue wool cloth dress with three bands of ribbon trim, red and white, along the bottom hem and sleeves. Individual teeth are tied in a yoke pattern on the front and back of the dress. The dress has rows and circles of brass and tin sequins on the skirt. Purple, ribbed silk binds the neck. The bottom hem has geometric cut edge so that it dips lower on each side than the front and back, a reference to historical hide dresses where the legs of the animal would be kept and oriented to the sides of the dress.

Curator Stewart Culin, when he collected this doll identified it as kyanaque ko-ha-na or Kanakwe. In his 1907 diaries he saw a performance of the Kanakwe dancers in the plaza in Zuni. This doll matches the description of the regalia these dancers were wearing exactly

In the Spirit of the Ancestors-This robe was worn by Haida artist Reg Davidson at a potlatch he hosted in Old Massett, B.C. in February 2002. The designs on the central panel are called tattoo designs, after a traditional pattern that was tattooed onto the backs of Tlingit noble women's hands. Davidson's robe was inspired by an old robe documented in a sketch made by Pavel Mikhailov on a voyage to the Northwest Coast in 1827.

The wool is red. The cloth is cotton and beige.
