ACTION:
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 a cultural item in the
possession of the Minnesota Museum of
American Art, St. Paul, MN, that meets
the definition of ‘‘object 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 cultural
item. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The one cultural item is a clan hat,
Xixch’i S’aaxw (Frog Hat), of the
´
´
Kiks.adi people of the Sheet’ika. The
clan hat (#57.14.08), is estimated to
have been made in the 19th century and
is composed of polychrome alder wood,
sea lion whiskers, beads, and yarn; it is

Jkt 208001
45⁄8 inches high x 141⁄8 inches long x 75⁄8
inches wide. The clan hat is carved in
a ‘‘jockey cap’’ form; the frog on the
skull of the hat is in low raised relief,
painted blue, red, and black; and
originally had inlaid abalone shells to
represent the eyes. The bill of the hat is
ochre, decorated with sea lion whiskers
and bead and yarn pendants. This clan
hat depicts the time of Russian contact.
The hat was purchased by the
Minnesota Museum of American Art in
1957 from the Portland Art Museum,
Portland, OR, and listed as
#48.3.724,2678 of the Portland Art
Museum’s Rasmussen collection. The
Portland Museum lists the work as
being purchased from Mrs. Billy
Williams, but the Rasmussen collection
was developed by Mr. Axel Rasmussen
who was superintendent of schools in
Skagway, AK. It is unclear if there is an
association between Mrs. Williams and
Mr. Rasmussen.
Representatives of the Central Council
of the Tlinglit & Haida Indian Tribes,
´
specifically of the Kiks.adi Clan, have
identified this hat as an object of
cultural patrimony that is a vital part of
their ongoing ceremonial rites and
central to their scared beliefs, and no
single individual could sell or alienate
the clan hat. The clan hat is one of the
most significant objects a clan can have
and usually depicts the main crest of the
clan, or one of their crests they are
entitled to use, which has both social
and religious significance. Clan hats
serve to unify clan members, tie present´
day clan members to their shuka,
ancestral clan members, and link the
clan member to the animal crest
depicted thereon or the story connected
with the hat.
Officials of the Minnesota Museum of
American Art have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), the
cultural item described above has
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual. Officials of the Minnesota
Museum of American Art also 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 object of
cultural patrimony and the Central
Council of the Tlinglit & Haida Indian
Tribes.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with this object of cultural
patrimony should contact Eunice
Haugen, Registrar and Exhibits

claimants come forward.

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the Gilcrease Museum,
Tulsa, OK, 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 cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The 9,097 unassociated funerary
objects are 45 whole and restored
ceramic vessels; 2,784 spindle whorls,
clay beads, and pot sherds; 1,403 daub
samples; 401 fire-cracked rocks,
hammerstones, celts, cores, and cobbles;
1,594 lithic flakes and tools, including
projectile points, scrapers, drills, and
burins; 2,558 faunal bones and bone and

fragments, and shell beads; 238 turtle
shells and shell fragments; 13 pieces of
charcoal; 3 metal objects; 38 noncharred wood and floral samples; and 7
mineral specimens.
Between 1964 and 1968, human
remains and funerary objects were
removed from the Charlie MacDuffie

to Gilcrease Museum in 1982 by the
Soday Research Foundation. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
are described in an accompanying
Notice of Inventory Completion.
The Charlie MacDuffie site (3CG21) is
located near the town of Lunsford in
Craighead County, northeastern
Arkansas. Excavation records indicate
that the site consisted of a ‘‘large village
with two mounds.’’ Cultural items
associated with the human remains
removed from the site have been
determined to date to the Middle
Mississippian period (A.D. 1170–1300).
Oral history evidence presented by
representatives of the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma indicates that the
region has long been included in the
traditional and hunting territory of the
Quapaw. French colonial records from
1700 also indicate that the Quapaw
were known then to be the only Native
American group present in the St.
Francis River valley region where the
MacDuffie site is located.
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the cultural items 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
specific burial sites of Native American
individuals. Officials of the Gilcrease
Museum also 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 unassociated funerary objects and
the Quapaw Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Randy Ramer,
Curator of Anthropology, Gilcrease
Museum, 1400 Gilcrease Museum Road,
Tulsa, OK 74127–2100, telephone (918)

Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Gilcrease Museum is responsible
for notifying the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma that this notice has
been published.
