TLINGIT COIN SILVER BRACELET BY Billy WILSON
This coin silver Bear clan bracelet is an original by Billy Wilson of the Icy Straits Village
of Hoonah, Alaska. I met the Wilson family in 1963 when purse seining in the Icy Straits.
The original bracelets were made of coin silver before it was taken out of circulation. I
would give Bill four silver quarters and depending how good fishing Wa I would return in a week and
he would have a bracelet for me. I have more history to tell please ask..
