DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural
Items: Milwaukee Public Museum,
Milwaukee, 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 Milwaukee Public
Museum, Milwaukee, WI, that meets the
definitions of ‘‘sacred object’’ or
‘‘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 three cultural items are one
catlinite tube pipe (MPM A14350/
3639), one woven bag with water
serpent motif (MPM E3170/14), and one
wooden bowl with handles (MPM
E56211/17617). The three cultural items
are affiliated with the Ottawa tribe (also
known as the Odawa) of Michigan. All
cultural items were acquired in
Michigan in an area long associated
with the Odawa. It would be unlikely
that other tribes may claim these
cultural items since the associated
geographical area makes a strong case
for affiliation. The three items are
associated with the categories in which
they are claimed by the Little Traverse
Bay Band of Odawa Indians, Michigan.

The pipe is claimed as a sacred object.
In 1913, the pipe was donated to the
museum by George West, collector and
Milwaukee Public Museum trustee. It
was collected by Walter P. Wyman who
obtained it in Emmet County, MI. It was
found ‘‘by an Indian in 1900 in the field
on the lake bank of L’Arbor Croche.’’
Pipes are considered to be sacred objects
by Odawa religious leaders.
The bag is claimed as an object of
cultural patrimony. In 1905, the
museum purchased the cultural item
from Mrs. Wilkinson of Beloit, WI. In
August 1889, the cultural item was
collected by George Wilkinson at Cross
Village, MI, from Mrs. Shartleff. The
museum documentation states that the
bag was given to Mrs. Shartleff’s father
by an Indian princess in 1770. The bag
is considered to be an object of cultural
patrimony since it would have been
used in ceremonies to protect the
Odawa tribe, as a whole. Furthermore,
this bag could not have been alienated
by a single individual since its
particular use was for the benefit of the
entire tribe.
The bowl is claimed as an object of
cultural patrimony. In 1956, the bowl
was purchased by the museum from the
Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit
College, WI. It was originally part of the
Albert Green Heath Collection. Heath
was an avid collector of Native
American material. According to the
Logan Museum records, the bowl was
collected from Aniquam at Cross
Village, MI. The Odawa traditionally
had three types of wooden bowls:
personal bowls, community bowls, and
ceremonial bowls. This bowl is
considered to be a communal bowl that
is owned by the entire tribe. The bowl
is used for special ceremonies and is
believed by the Odawa to contain
manidok (spirits) that are members of
the community that help the Odawa
maintain their cultural beliefs and
traditions.
Officials of the Milwaukee Public
Museum 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
Milwaukee Public Museum 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. Lastly, officials
of the Milwaukee Public Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
