The essay examines the historical context and human connections of a Winnebago peyote drum in the Logan Museum of Anthropology at Beloit College in Wisconsin. It is not an object biography, but rather explores a wide variety of connections to people and topics, especially to the twentiethcentury American Indian activist Oliver LaMere. Sources include catalog records from the Logan, original works by LaMere and others, as well as biographical information. This is the first known examination of its kind for this object.

These data are expected to amplify our knowledge about the regional production and exchange of these items. The elemental composition of geological basalt samples and archaeological artifacts from two high elevation river valleys (Chiriquí Viejo and Chiriquí) are compared to analyze village–quarry relationships and to provide insight on a poorly understood topic. Our results indicate that sampled source areas are elementally distinct and allow us to differentiate between local and non-local basalts in archaeological samples. Combining this new information with earlier research on domestic organization confirms that the role of non-local basalt exchange varied within residential sites. However, our results do not indicate that this activity contributed clearly to the political development of the Barriles center.

In this paper, I draw connections between the work of the two ethnographers and that of other anthropologists. This was written in the fall semester of 2014 for Professor Robert LaFleur's Social and Cultural Theory course.
