Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit April 6 and 7, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 1”): This is not an accurate depiction of a Shalako dancer. Some elements of the figure's clothing are either missing or are depicted inaccurately.
