Comment:
Objects collected at the Coyote Valley Rancheria by Samuel Barrett may have been collected from Mary Louie, one of his consultants there. Mary Louie was Eastern Pomo, despite the fact that Coyote Valley Rancheria is in Northern Pomo territory. Other Barrett consultants from Coyote Valley include Topsy Pettis, Mollie Duncan, and Lizzie Jamison, all of whom were Northern Pomo.
