In January of 2016, a small team of GRASAC researchers visited the collection to study and photograph it: Ruth Phillips, Lisa Truong, Naomi Recollet (Anishinaabe (Odawa/Ojibwe), Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory) and Wahsontiio Cross (Mohawk, Kahnawake). This GKS record was created in January 2022 by GRASAC RA Amelia Healey.

Region of origin possibly not North American (Ruth Phillips).
Autumn Epple theorizes the doll may be settler-made (commercial), but clothes Indigenous-made.
