On February 24, 1965, the collectors

acquired 18 silver Seminole pendants
from the antiquities dealer Howard B.
Roloff. Records from the purchase
transaction noted that the ‘‘4 dark ones
are from a burial over 100 years old.’’ In
1968, the Cranes donated the Seminole
pendants to the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science (then Denver Museum
of Natural History) (Accession Numbers
AC.7940A-D). The museum exhibited
the four pendants in its ‘‘Seminole
Silver Case’’ between 1976 and 1980.
Historical and archeological evidence
establish that Seminole and Miccosukee
people have been residents in central
and southern Florida for at least several
hundred years. In consultations,
representatives of the Miccosukee Tribe
of Indians of Florida; Seminole Nation
of Oklahoma; and Seminole Tribe of
Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations
confirmed their affiliation with earlier
historic American Indians in Florida
and confirmed that the four pendants
were very likely Seminole burial
objects. Descendants of the Seminole are
members of the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida; Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and Seminole Tribe of
Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations.
Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the
four 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 to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of the Denver
Museum of Nature & Science 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 cultural
items 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
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Dr. Chip ColwellChanthaphonh, NAGPRA Officer,
Department of Anthropology, Denver
Museum of Nature & Science, 2001
Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80205,
telephone (303) 370–6378, before
September 29, 2008. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary items to the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida;
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and
Seminole Tribe of Florida, Dania, Big
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa
Reservations may proceed after that date
