Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 25, 2008 / Notices
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 Peabody Museum of
Natural History, Yale University, New
Haven, CT, 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 cultural items are two shell beads
described as ‘‘burial wampum.’’
In 1913, the Peabody Museum of
Natural History received two shell beads
described as ‘‘Two pieces of Wampum.
Indian. From a grave in Cayuga County,
New York.’’ The cultural items were
donated to the museum by Robert W.
Curtis of Stratford, CT.
Cayuga County, NY, is in the
traditional territory of the Onondaga
Nation. No other documentation about
the cultural items exists in the
museum’s records. Based on the
geographic origin of the beads, the
catalog description of the items as burial
associations, and consultation with
representatives of the Onondaga Nation
of New York, the cultural items were
determined to be unassociated funerary
objects and culturally affiliated to the
Onondaga Nation of New York.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the
two 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 a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of the Peabody
Museum of Natural History 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
Onondaga Nation of New York.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact the Director,
Peabody Museum of Natural History,
P.O. Box 208118, 170 Whitney Avenue,
New Haven, CT 06520–8118, telephone

2008. Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Onondaga Nation
of New York may proceed after that date
if no additional claimants come
forward.
The Peabody Museum of Natural
History is responsible for notifying the
Onondaga Nation of New York that this
notice has been published.
