that it is from California. The pipe is
identified as a sacred item traditionally
and contemporarily used to smoke
tobacco during prayer and/or for
purification. Representatives of the
Smith River Rancheria, California have
identified the tubular shape of the pipe
as typical of Tolowa Dee–ni’ culture and
as a sacred object.
Tribal representatives of the Smith
River Rancheria, California have
identified the six cultural items as
Tolowa in cultural affiliation and as
sacred items. Descendants of the Tolowa
Dee–ni’ people are members of the
Smith River Rancheria, California.
Officials of the Horner Collection,
Oregon State University have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(C), the six cultural items
described above are specific ceremonial
objects needed by traditional Native
American religious leaders for the
practice of traditional Native American
religions by their present-day adherents.
Officials of Horner Collection, Oregon
State University 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 sacred objects and the
Smith River Rancheria, California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects should
contact Sabah Randhawa, Executive
Vice President and Provost, President’s
Office, Oregon State University, 600

Based on artifacts, site organization, and methods of interment,
the human remains and associated funerary objects removed from burials
at the 21 sites described above date to either the Fourche Maline
period (A.D. 500-800) and[sol]or Caddoan period (A.D. 800-1600).
Archeological evidence suggests a cultural continuity through these
periods. Archeological and historical evidence indicates that the Caddo
occupied the Ouachita Mountains and the area along the Red River in
southwestern Arkansas during both time periods. Descendants of the
Caddo are members of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Officials of The University Museum, University of Arkansas have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical remains of 126 individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of The University Museum,
University of Arkansas also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 386 objects 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 a death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials
of The University Museum, University of Arkansas 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 objects and the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma.
