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 Taylor Museum of the
Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center,
Colorado Springs, CO, that meets the
definition of object 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.
In 1951, the Taylor Museum
purchased a Northwest Coast totem pole
(TM 3991) from Ralph C. Altman/
Lumber Yard of Joshua Marks, Los
Angeles, CA. The piece was officially
accessioned into the museum’s
collection on May 7, 1951.
The totem pole, dated circa 1870, is
from the Haida village of Old Kasaan,
Prince of Wales Island, southeastern
Alaska. The totem pole originally stood
in front of a house, and both were used
by Chief Son-i-hat, ‘‘Southeast Wind,’’ of
the Eagle phratry and one of the great
chiefs of Old Kasaan. The house was
named Adolescent Girl House. Chief
Son-i-Hat also had a home not far from
present-day Kasaan, which is currently
the only remaining traditional Haida
longhouse in Alaska.
The pole was bought by a man from
Los Angeles around 1908. The pole and
house were taken to Los Angeles, and
the dismantled house was rebuilt on a
smaller scale. Chief Son-i-hat, who took
along dancing paraphernalia, also
accompanied the house and pole. Chief
Son-i-hat stayed about two years, and
according to his son, staged dances and
gave speeches about the ways of his
fellow Haida people. When the Taylor
Museum of the Colorado Springs Fine
Arts Center acquired the pole, it was
laying in a lumber yard ready to be
sawed up for wood pulp.
In approximately early 2007, the
museum began researching the pole and
started consultations with tribal
representatives from the Organized
Village of Kasaan. Totem poles in the
Haida culture represent clans, serve as
grave markers, and also relate important
events. According to representatives of
the Organized Village of Kasaan, the
totem pole is clan property. A totem
pole is not property owned by an
individual, and no single individual can
alienate or convey this clan property.
Furthermore, the totem pole was clan
property at the time of its alienation,
and ownership of the totem pole and
crest designs depicted are owned by the
clan, Yaadas of Gasa’aan (Old Kasaan).
Therefore, the totem pole is an object of
cultural patrimony under NAGPRA.
Officials of the Taylor Museum of the
Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
300(3)(D), the one cultural item
described above has 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
Taylor Museum of the Colorado Springs

Fine Arts Center 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 object of cultural patrimony
and the Organized Village of Kasaan
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the object of cultural
patrimony should contact Tariana
Navas-Nieves, Curator of Hispanic and
Native American Art, Taylor Museum of
the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center,
30 West Dale St., Colorado Springs, CO
80903, telephone (719) 477–4334, before
September 2, 2010. Repatriation of the
object of cultural patrimony to the
Organized Village of Kasaan may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Taylor Museum of the Colorado
Springs Fine Arts Center is responsible
for notifying the Organized Village of
Kasaan that this notice has been
published.

Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the control of the University
of Colorado Museum, Boulder, CO. The
human remains were removed from
Converse County, WY.

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Arapahoe
Tribe of the Wind River Reservation,
Wyoming; Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes

In 1948, 1949, 1952, 1956, or 1963,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from a cave at Little Box Elder
Site, in Converse County, WY. The
human remains were removed by either
a museum archeological crew, which
excavated the site in 1948 (test), 1949,
1952, and 1956, or by Dr. Robinson,
Paleontology Curator Emeritus, who
excavated stratigraphically at the site in
1963. The property is private and
belonged to Orsa D. Ferguson who
passed away in the 1950s, and then it
belonged to his brother-in-law, William
Barber. The human remains were found
in the Paleontology section of the
museum during re-analysis and
transferred to the Anthropology section
of the museum for NAGPRA
compliance. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains are Native
American based on the biological
assessment and the site context. The
cave dates from recent time to 15,000
years before present. Evidence of human
occupation was present in the upper
levels. The earliest levels contained a
‘‘nest’’ of three spherical stones of
material foreign to the cave deposits,
suggesting the possibility of human
occupation at that time. During
preliminary re-study of material from
the cave, two tools were identified. Both
were made from elements of extinct
horse (Equus conversidens). The site
also yielded several tools made from
mountain goat humeri and metapodial.
Although not extinct, mountain goat is
no longer present in the region of Little
Box Elder.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum have determined that,
