DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural
Item: U.S. Department of the Interior,
National Park Service, Intermountain
Region, Santa Fe, NM
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
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 U.S. Department of the
Interior, National Park Service,
Intermountain Region, Santa Fe, NM,
that meets the definition of ‘‘sacred
object’’ 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 NAGPRA coordinator,
Intermountain Region.
In 1994, the National Park Service
assisted the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service with the
investigation of a Migratory Bird Treaty
Act violation. The evidence included a
collection of Native American objects
confiscated from the East–West Trading
Post in Santa Fe, NM. Preliminary
subject matter expert review of the
collection indicated that the object was
historically significant and potentially
subject to NAGPRA. The collection was
accessioned in 2002 into the Southwest
Regional Office collections, now called
the Intermountain Region Office. The
cultural item covered in this notice is a
constellation set with feathers.
Following adjudication of the case, a
detailed assessment of the objects was
made by Intermountain Region (IMR)
NAGPRA program staff in close
collaboration with the IMR Museum
Services program staff and in
consultation with representatives of
potentially affiliated tribes. During
consultation, representatives of the
Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico,
identified the cultural item as a specific
ceremonial object needed by traditional
Acoma religious leaders for the practice
of a traditional Native American religion
by their present–day adherents. Oral

tradition evidence presented by
representatives of the Pueblo of Acoma,
New Mexico, and the written
repatriation request received by the
Intermountain Region further
articulated the ceremonial significance
of the cultural item to the Pueblo of
Acoma. Based on anthropological
information, court case documentation,
oral tradition, museum records,
consultation evidence, and expert
opinion, there is a cultural affiliation
between the Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico, and the sacred object.
Officials of the Intermountain Region
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the one cultural item
described above is a specific ceremonial
object needed by traditional Native
American religious leaders for the
practice of traditional Native American
religions by their present–day
adherents. Officials of the
Intermountain Region 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
object and the Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred object should
contact Dave Ruppert, NAGPRA
Coordinator, NPS Intermountain Region
12795 West Alameda Parkway,
Lakewood, CO 80228, telephone (303)
969–2879, before August 18, 2008.
Repatriation of the sacred object to the
Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.

responsible for notifying the Apache
Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache
Tribe of Oklahoma; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New

Following adjudication of the case, a
detailed assessment of the objects was
made by Intermountain Region (IMR)
NAGPRA program staff in close
collaboration with the IMR Museum
Services program staff and in
consultation with representatives of
potentially affiliated tribes.
Representatives of the Hopi Cultural
Preservation Office, acting on behalf of
the Momngwit (Priests) and the Hopi
Tribe of Arizona, identified the cultural
items as specific ceremonial objects
needed by the Momngwit for the
practice of a traditional Hopi religion by
their present–day adherents. Further,
representatives of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona identified the two cultural
items as objects of cultural patrimony
having on–going historical, traditional,
and cultural importance central to the
Hopi Tribe that could not be alienated
by any individual. Oral tradition
evidence presented by representatives of
the Hopi Tribe of Arizona, and the
written repatriation request received by
the Intermountain Region further
articulated the ceremonial significance
of the cultural items to the Hopi Tribe
of Arizona. Based on anthropological
information, court case documentation,
oral tradition, museum records,
consultation evidence, and expert
opinion, there is a cultural affiliation
between the Hopi Tribe of Arizona and
the two sacred objects/objects of
cultural patrimony.
Officials of the Intermountain Region
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the two 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 the
Intermountain Region also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(D), the two cultural items
described above have 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
Intermountain Region 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/objects of cultural patrimony
and the Hopi Tribe of Arizona.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects/objects
of cultural patrimony should contact
