items under the control of the Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency,
Springfield, IL, that meet the definition
of objects of cultural patrimony under
25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in

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.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In or around 1918, one cultural item
were removed from Tama, in Tama
County, IA. The item was given to Mr.
John Hauberg by a member of the
Meskwaki tribe. In 1939, this cultural
item was donated to the Hauberg Indian
Museum in Rock Island, IL, by Mr. John
Hauberg. The object has remained in the
collection of the museum since, and is
now under the control of the Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency at the
Black Hawk State Historic Site. The one
object of cultural patrimony is one Bear
Claw Necklace.
Through consultation with Mr.
Johnathan L. Buffalo, a representative of
the Meskwaki Nation and the Sac & Fox
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, it has
been shown that the Bear Claw Necklace
is an object of cultural patrimony, owing
to its use as a symbol of tribal
governance within the tribe. Mr. Buffalo
has demonstrated that this object holds
political, social, and ceremonial
significance for the Meskwaki, and has
ongoing historical, traditional and
cultural importance to the tribe.
Therefore, it has been determined that
the Bear Claw Necklace falls under the
definition of objects of cultural
patrimony for the purposes of
repatriation under NAGPRA.
Determinations Made by the Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency
Officials of the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the one 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 object of cultural patrimony
and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa.
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
information in support of the claim to

Cultural items consisting of 64
unassociated funerary objects were
removed from site 39CA4, the Anton
Rygh Site, in Campbell County, SD.
They are presently located at the South
Dakota State Archaeological Research
Center (SARC) and are under the control
of the Omaha District.
The Anton Rygh site was a large
fortified village on the east bank of the
Missouri River and first reported by
W.H. Over Museum in the 1920s.
Excavations at the site began in 1932,
and over the course of the next 50 years,
over 100 individuals have reportedly
been removed from the site. A minimum
of 66 of these individuals were removed
between 1957 and 1959 during
excavations sponsored by the
Smithsonian Institution River Basic
Survey (RBS). A total of 15 individuals
from the 1957 to 1959 excavations are
stored at SARC and reported in a
separate Notice of Inventory
Completion.
SARC currently has 64 funerary
objects from the RBS collections that are
not associated with any individuals
currently held by SARC and under
control of the Omaha District. The
excavation records clearly show these
items as having been removed from the
burial of a specific individual. These 64
unassociated funerary objects are 13
scapula bone hoes and knives, 1 bone
awl, 1 bone whistle, 1 lithic biface, 1
lithic projectile point, 1 dog cranium,
and 46 ceramic sherds.
The Anton Rygh site is a Plains
Village Tradition multi-component
earth lodge village. House structures,
burials, cache pits, fortification features,
and artifact types suggest at least two
levels of occupation. The levels
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703

represent an extended Middle Missouri
(A.D. 1000–1500) variant while the
upper levels represent Extended (A.D.
1500–1675) and Post Contact (A.D.
1675–1780) Coalescent variants.
Funerary objects were removed from
burials throughout all levels of the site,
but their temporal differentiation cannot
be determined based on current records.
Archeological, anthropological, and
physical anthropological evidence
indicate the Extended Middle Missouri
are ancestral Mandan, and the Extended
Coalescent and Post Contact Coalescent
are ancestral Arikara. Both the Mandan
and Arikara are represented today by
the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation. Consultation with
the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation indicates that
these objects represent the kinds of
objects that are placed with individuals
at the time of death.
Determinations Made by the Omaha
District
Officials of the Omaha District have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 64 cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
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
information in support of the claim to

that date, if no additional claimants
have come forward, transfer of control

the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.
The Omaha District is responsible for
notifying the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota, that this notice has been
published.

Black Hawk State Historic Site. The one object of cultural patrimony is
one Bear Claw Necklace.
Through consultation with Mr. Johnathan L. Buffalo, a
representative of the Meskwaki Nation and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa, it has been shown that the Bear Claw Necklace is
an object of cultural patrimony, owing to its use as a symbol of tribal
governance within the tribe. Mr. Buffalo has demonstrated that this
object holds political, social, and ceremonial significance for the
Meskwaki, and has ongoing historical, traditional and cultural
importance to the tribe. Therefore, it has been determined that the
Bear Claw Necklace falls under the definition of objects of cultural
patrimony for the purposes of repatriation under NAGPRA.
