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 U.S.
Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, Ocmulgee National
Monument, Macon, GA, 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 Superintendent, Ocmulgee National
Monument.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Between 1933 and 1934, 99 cultural
items were removed from Funeral
Mound C in Bibb County, GA, during
legally authorized projects sponsored by
the Works Progress Administration. The
human remains were repatriated to
culturally affiliated tribes in 2015 by the
Smithsonian Institution, National
Museum of Natural History. The 99
unassociated funerary objects are 3
spoons, 61 beads, 1 bottle, 1 bowl, 4
vessel fragments, 1 metal fragment, 1
animal bone, 1 nail, 4 pendants, 2
projectile points, 1 scraper, 17 worked
shells, 1 folding knife, and 1unmodified
basalt stone.
While Mound C is a burial mound
dating to the Macon Plateau phase of the
Early Mississippian period (A.D. 900 to
A.D. 1100), several historic burials were
placed in the upper levels of the mound
and in the adjacent village area. Burials
excavated at this site were identified as
historic Creek on the basis of European

nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with NOTICES
trade goods found in association with
the remains. The historic Creek town
associated with the trading post near
Mound C has long been thought to be
Ocmulgee. Residents of Ocmulgee
moved to the Chattahoochee River after
1717.
Historical documentation reflects a
great deal of movement and
reorganization among the Creeks and
the Creek Confederacy during the 18th
and 19th centuries. Ten present-day
Indian tribes include Creek
descendants—the Alabama-Coushatta
Tribe of Texas (previously listed as the
Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas),
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, Kialegee
Tribal Town, Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians, Poarch Band of Creeks
(previously listed as the Poarch Band of
Creek Indians of Alabama), Seminole
Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the
Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa
Reservations)), The Muscogee (Creek)
Nation, The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma, and Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town.
Determinations Made by Ocmulgee
National Monument
Officials of Ocmulgee National
Monument have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 99 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 Alabama-Coushatta
Tribe of Texas (previously listed as the
Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas),
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, Kialegee
Tribal Town, Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians, Poarch Band of Creeks
(previously listed as the Poarch Band of
