Cuff

Said to be Blackfoot by donor but this has been refuted by scholars who suggest it’s likely to be either Athapaskan or Dene. Provenance attributed to Plains.

Allegedly from one of Crowfoot’s warriors.
(Ref: Blanche Elizabeth Dewdney’s letters to curator Mr Rowley).

Donated to RAMM in 1920 by his wife Blanche Elizabeth.
