Artifact History

Archaeological Data N/A
Credit Line/Dedication Reginald and Gladys Laubin Collection
Reproduction Yes
Reproduction Information Most of the tipi pieces are made of dowel rods and canvas and given the Laubins activities in making tipis it is likely that these pieces were made by the Laubins. However, more research should be done to confirm this. JLW, 5/27/2007
