Research and responses

Collected when Hopkins was accompanying Sir George Simpson on his voyage around the world [I am not sure of the source of this entry] [GI 27/4/2000].

This object was viewed by Haida tribal members Vincent Collison, Lucille Bell, and Kwiiawah Jones on 7 September 2007 in preparation for a planned Haida community visit to PRM in 2009. *They felt that the item might be of Squamish origin. [L Peers, 24/01/2008]
