Miccosukee Tribe has a direct cultural
affiliation to any and all ’Seminole’
remains . . . .’’ The Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida has informed the
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and the
Seminole Tribe of Florida of their claim

Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains listed above represent
the physical remains of a minimum of
one individual of Native American

shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida;
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and
Seminole Tribe of Florida, Dania, Big
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa
Reservations.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

ACTION:
Notice.
Notice is here given in accordance
with provisions of the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the Fruitlands
Museums, Harvard, MA. The human
remains and associated funerary object
were removed from an unknown
location in the State of New York.
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 human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Fruitlands
Museums professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Seneca Nation of New York, SenecaCayuga Tribe of Oklahoma, and
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York.
In 1830, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location by
Mr. Jessie L. Farwell, an undertaker
designated by the State of New York.
Mr. Farwell gave the remains to Mr.
John M. Locke, grandfather of Edgar
Corbin. In 1924, Mr. Corbin gave the
human remains to Mrs. Arthur Bullard
(daughter of Ely S. Parker, a Tonawanda
Seneca). Sometime between 1930 and
1937, Mrs. Bullard gave the remains to
Miss Clara Endicott Sears, founder of
the Fruitlands Museums. The human
remains consist of several strands of
hair of a single individual. A letter
dated October 16, 1924 from Mr. Corbin
to Mrs. Bullard identifies the human
remains as those of Red Jacket. The one
associated funerary object is a piece of
beaded fabric.
Historical records indicate that Red
Jacket, also known as Sakoiewatha or
Sakoyewatha, was a Seneca Indian born
in the 1750s. Red Jacket was a Chief of
the Seneca after the Revolutionary War.
Red Jacket also played an important role
in the negotiations leading to the
signing of the Treaty of Canandaigua in
1794. The 1924 letter states that while
serving with the British Army during
the revolutionary period, Major Joshua
Locke, the father of Mr. Locke and greatgrandfather of Mr. Corbin, met Red
Jacket.
Officials of the Fruitlands Museums
have determined that, pursuant to 25
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
U.S.C. (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Fruitlands Museums also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the one object described
above is 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. Lastly, officials of the
Fruitlands Museums have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2),
there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary object
and the Seneca Nation of New York.
Any lineal descendant or
representatives of any other Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
contact Michael A. Volmar, Curator,
Fruitlands Museums, 102 Prospect Hill
Road, Harvard, MA 01451, telephone
(978) 456–3924 extension 228, before
January 9, 2006. Repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
object to the Seneca Nation of New York
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Fruitlands Museums is
responsible for notifying the Seneca
Nation of New York, Seneca-Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma, and Tonawanda
Band of Seneca Indians of New York
that this notice has been published.

Notice is here given in accordance

completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the U.S. Department
of the Interior, National Park Service,

and cultural items were removed from
the Fishing Bridge area of the park.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

within this notice are the sole

In 1941, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Fishing Bridge
Peninsula in Park County, WY, during
a construction project in the tourist
cabin development area. The individual
was identified as a Native American
male most likely 35–45 years old. He
was buried in a flexed position with his
head pointed about 10 degrees to the
south of west. Projectile point typology
and geomorphology suggest that the
burial dates to the Late Prehistoric
period. No known individual was
identified. The 105 associated funerary
objects are 1 antler fragment, 1 chert
drill, 1 chert knife, 2 chert flakes, 2 dog
skulls, 1 granite pounding stone, 1
obsidian flake, 1 projectile point, and 95
stones of various sizes. Three small
projectile points, 10 worked scrapers
and flakes, and 200–300 stone flakes are
missing from the originally recovered
associated funerary objects and are not
included here.
In 1956, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the Fishing Bridge
Campground in Park County, WY,
during a trench-digging project. One
individual was identified as a Native
American female most likely 40–50
years old. The other partial set of
remains represents a Native American
infant. It is not known whether the
remains were flexed or in which
direction the head of the female was
oriented. The absence of artifacts
precludes relative dating of the burial
and radiocarbon dating did not occur.
However, geomorphic analysis from a
nearby burial site suggests a Late
Prehistoric age. No known individuals
were identified. The one associated
funerary object is the fragmentary
skeleton of a dog.
Of those tribes with whom the park
consulted, only three stated they buried
dogs with humans. Two Shoshonean
groups, the Shoshone Tribe of the Wind
River Reservation, Wyoming and the
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort
Hall Reservation of Idaho, stated their
ancestors customarily included dogs in
burials with humans and that children
were sometimes buried with women.
The Shoshone Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming and the
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort
Hall Reservation of Idaho stated that
some of their ancestors were on the
Yellowstone Plateau as early as what
archeologists refer to as the Paleoindian
period and continued to inhabit it
through historic times as the Lemhi
Shoshone and the Sheepeaters. A Crow
