Dawn Randazzo: They even wove an inner ring to hold it secure on the head.
John Johnson: Russians used sea lion whiskers as pipe cleaners. Mentioned (as notetaker, I may have this wrong) that Chugach painted on top of the weave, which is different than the Tlingit style of using dyed material.
Deborah McMullen: Looks like they sewed on the brim. There are two differently weaved sides on the underside and on the top. They are perhaps attached together.
Vince Evans: Talked about possible connections to China and wondered about the style of the hat.
Pamela Jean Smith: The black paint could be octopus ink.
Unknown Curator: Mentioned by unknown source that the long pieces are sea Lion whiskers.
