Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This type of object was not specific to Zuni. All Pueblos and Navajos would have used this sort of tool. It was likely owned by an individual for his or her own use (it would not have served any sort of communal purpose).
