Disclaimer: The Field Museum's online Anthropology Collections Database may
contain cultural items and historical records that are culturally sensitive. Some records may
also include offensive language. These records do not reflect the Field Museum’s current
viewpoint but rather the social attitudes and circumstances of the time period when items were
collected or catalogued. Visitors to this site are also advised that some records may contain
names, images, and recordings of deceased individuals and that some records document human remains.
In the interest of protecting sensitive items and information from the North American collections,
most North American records have been temporarily removed from the online Anthropology Collections
Database. If you have an inquiry, please submit a
Visit and Information Request form.
We welcome feedback. The web database is not a complete record of the Museum's
anthropological holdings and documentation for a collection item will vary due to when and how it
was collected as well as how recently it was accessed. While efforts are made to ensure the
accuracy of the information available on this website, some content may contain errors. We work
with descendant communities around the world to interpret the collections in order to promote a
greater understanding of global heritage and, through consultation, will remove information that
is inaccurate or inappropriate. We encourage and welcome members of descendant communities,
scholars, and others to contact us to confirm or clarify data found here.
