Research and responses

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