E168297-0 Shirt and E168297-1 Moccasin trousers are both on loan.Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=263 , retrieved 11-29-2011: Shirt Interior Tlingit and Athabascan peoples produced beaded caribou skin clothing that they traded to the coast, where clan leaders and others of high rank wore it during potlatches and dance ceremonies. This fringed shirt has the beaded cuffs, front panel, and shoulder pads (epaulets) of a Yukon River "hunting shirt," inspired by English clothing that was imported by the Hudson's Bay Company. The style of beadwork is probably Interior Tlingit or Tahltan. Clarence Jackson noted the 'shark teeth' design made with black cloth on the cuffs and bottom hem. "Oh yes, a dance shirt, a real one. And it's possible that these are shark teeth on the bottom and on the cuffs." - Clarence Jackson (Tlingit), 2005
