Tlingit War Helmet Rediscovered after 100 years

A fantastic Tlingit war helmet has been recently rediscovered in the backroom of a museum in Springfield, Massachussests. The helmet was accessioned in 1899 as an “Aleutian hat” and the designation was never questioned until now.

The article also contains a neato painting by Ketchikan artist Ray Troll and, amidst a really fascinating batch of comments, a pic of a helmet modeled after someone with Bell's Palsy.
