Alutiiq
Kodiak, AK., ca. 1907. These belts were collected by the Andresen family, who operated a trading post in Prince William Sound from 1902-1915. They are composed of loomed beads, which is very unusual for Alaska but which was done by the Alutiiq people of southcentral Alaska.
Gift of Carl Andresen
