Dawn Randazzo:  The information card says that this is a woman's dance ornament.

John Johnson:  Women definitely were shamans (Sugt'stun: Kaalan'lek).  There was a weather woman on Middleton Island and other women shamans (Sugt'stun: Kaalan'lek), including near Kodiak island. He brother was a chief and she had special powers, they can cure people their own way.
