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 Peabody
Museum of Natural History, Yale
University, New Haven, CT that meet
the definition of unassociated funerary
objects 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.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1899, two cultural items were
removed from Yakutat Bay in Yakutat
Borough, AK, by a member of the 1899
Harriman Expedition. The items were
donated to the Peabody Museum of
Natural History by George Bird Grinnell
in 1913. The two unassociated funerary
objects are two whale bone war knives.
In June 2015, representatives from the
Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida
Indian Tribes of Alaska identified the
knives as culturally affiliated to the
Tlingit people. Peabody Museum of
Natural History catalog records refine
this affiliation to the Yakutat Tlingit
Tribe. Through consultation, members
of the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe have
confirmed their culturally affiliation to
the knives.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the two 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 the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe.

organization not identified in this notice
