Brandon Moonin: Nuchek Village
Indigenous name on catalogue card actually is written Pekiutet and means gift (Sugt'stun)
John Johnson: Hunters would raise the paddle to get everyone to make a circle around the sea otter to encircle him and club him instead of spearing him. They get tired and then they can club the Otter.
William Smith: If you don’t kill Otters quickly it would be hard to chase them in the Qayaq as they are so quick.
