SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the School for
Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center, Santa Fe, NM, that
meet the definition of sacred objects and
objects of cultural patrimony under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
DATES:
In 1944, Mrs. Frank Applegate
donated two kachina masks (IAF.C220
and IAF.C221) and one stone axe with
a wooden handle (IAF.C243) to the
School for Advanced Research, Indian
Arts Research Center. According to
documentation, the two masks and the
axe belonged to the Jemez Warrior
Society at the Pueblo of Jemez. The
School for Advanced Research, Indian
Arts Research Center has no
documentation on how Mrs. Applegate
came to own the items.
In 1958, Roy Tilghman donated one
round mask (IAF.C282) to the School for
Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center. According to
documentation, the mask is from the
Pueblo of Jemez. The School for
Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center has no documentation
on how Mr. Tilghman came to own the
item.
The four cultural items have each
been identified as both sacred objects
and objects of cultural patrimony.

on several occasions (including three
visits during the years 2008 to 2010) to
view many items, including the three
kachina masks and the stone axe listed
in this notice. The review of the School
for Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center’s documentation, in
addition to physical inspections by
Pueblo of Jemez representatives, has
resulted in confirmation from the
Pueblo of Jemez’s traditional leaders
that the four items are of Pueblo of
Jemez origin, supporting cultural
affiliation, as well as determining that
the four items meet the criteria for both
sacred objects and objects of cultural
patrimony. The School for Advanced
Research, Indian Arts Research Center
records, including catalog cards and
other provenance information, indicate
these objects to be of Pueblo of Jemez
origin, further supporting the claim by
the Pueblo of Jemez. On December 24,
2014, the Pueblo of Jemez submitted a
repatriation request from the Governor
for three of the sacred objects and
objects of cultural patrimony (IAF.C220,
IAF.C221, and IAF.C282, the three
kachina masks). On February 19, 2015,
the Pueblo of Jemez submitted a
repatriation request from the Tribal
Cultural Properties Project Manager for
the fourth sacred object and object of
cultural patrimony (IAF.C243, the stone
axe).
Determinations Made by the School for
Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center
Officials of the School for Advanced
Research, Indian Arts Research Center
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the 4 cultural items described above are
specific ceremonial objects needed by
traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the 4 cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the sacred objects and Pueblo
of Jemez, New Mexico.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
