Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: Logan Museum of
Anthropology, Beloit College, Beloit,
WI
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 cultural items in the
possession of the Logan Museum of
Anthropology, Beloit College, Beloit,
WI, that meet the definitions of ‘‘sacred
objects’’ and ‘‘objects 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
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The cultural objects are one drum,
four drum legs, and four drum sticks.
All are catalogued within the Logan
Museum’s catalogue number 30058.
The drum measures 35 cm high by 62
cm in diameter. It is made of a wooden
washtub covered on the top and bottom
with painted hide drumheads. The top
drumhead exhibits a red line and yellow
stripe across the center, and half the
drumhead is painted green. The paint
on the top drumhead is heavily faded.
The bottom drumhead is mostly
unpainted on the exterior, but the
interior is painted green with a red line
across the center. The interior paint and
a series of perforations along the side of
the bottom drumhead indicate it once
served as a top drumhead. A cloth strip
with glass-beaded floral designs and
four glass-beaded tabs with floral

designs and brass tinklers are attached
to the outside of the drum, near the top.
Four leather straps are attached to the
outside of the drum, one for each of the
four drum legs. Each leg is made of
wood wrapped in black cotton and blue
cloth. Three of the drum sticks are long
and slender with narrow heads of blue
denim wrapped in cotton thread. The
fourth stick is shorter, and has a round
stuffed buckskin head.
In 1955, the Logan Museum acquired
the drum, legs, and sticks when it
purchased the collection of Albert Green
Heath. Associated collection records
contain Heath’s following statement on
the cultural items: ‘‘Large Pow wow
(tribal drum) complete with 4 Drum
sticks & 4 stakes. White Earth Band of
Chippewas. Minn., Extremely Rare.’’
Collection records contain no additional
information about the objects. Based on
general information about his collecting
history, Heath most likely acquired the
drum, legs, and sticks at the White Earth
Reservation in Minnesota in the early
20th century.
On the basis of Heath’s attribution of
the objects to the White Earth Band of
Chippewas, officials of the Logan
Museum of Anthropology consulted
with representatives of the White Earth
Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe,
Minnesota. During consultation, tribal
representatives indicated that the drum
and its associated legs and sticks are
central to the Big Drum Society
Ceremony, and are considered sacred
objects that are needed by the
Ceremony’s practitioners. The drums
are not owned by individuals but by
Drum Societies, which are responsible
for caring for the objects used in the
Ceremony and thus, individuals do not
have the right to alienate a Big Drum.
The White Earth Band was one of the
earliest of the Ojibwe (Chippewa)
groups to adopt the Big Drum Society
Ceremony in the 19th century, and the
Ceremony has ongoing historical,
traditional, and cultural importance to
the tribe.
Officials of the Logan Museum of
Anthropology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the
nine 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
Logan Museum of Anthropology have
also determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), the nine 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.

Lastly, officials of the Logan Museum of
Anthropology 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 White Earth Band of
the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe,
Minnesota.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects/objects
of cultural patrimony should contact
William Green, Director, Logan Museum
of Anthropology, Beloit College, 700
College St., Beloit, WI 53511, telephone
(608) 363–2119, before November 6,
2008. Repatriation of the sacred objects/
objects of cultural patrimony to the
White Earth Band of the Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Logan Museum of Anthropology
is responsible for notifying the White
Earth Band of the Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe, Minnesota that this notice has
been published.

Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items
published in the Federal Register of
July 30, 2007 (FR Doc. E7–14578, pages
41522–41524), by the addition of the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin. After publication of the
notice, additional evidence derived
from historical information and further
consultations with the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, led to this revised
finding of cultural affiliation. Based on
the additional evidence, officials of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology have found that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
between the Delaware people (from
Middle Woodland through Historic
period) and the Munsee Delaware
people who are represented by the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin. Descendants of the Delaware
people are represented by the Cherokee
Nation, Oklahoma, on behalf of the
Delaware Tribe of Indians; Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; and Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin.
In the Federal Register of July 30,
2007 (FR Doc. E7–14578, pages 41522–

are corrected by substituting the
following paragraph:
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 39 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, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from specific burial sites
of Native American individuals.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology 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
Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma, on behalf
of the Delaware Tribe of Indians;
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; and
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
