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 Field Museum of
Natural History (Field Museum),
Chicago, IL, 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 three cultural items are copper
pendants. One copper pendant (Field

Museum catalog number 279396) has an
oblong shape and measures 6.5 cm x 2.4
cm. The second copper pendant (Field
Museum catalog number 279544) has a
roughly triangular shape with a hole at
the top in which fiber runs through, and
measures 7.1 cm x 7.1 cm. The third
copper pendant (Field Museum catalog
number 279567) has an oblong shape
and measures 7.3 cm x 5 cm.
According to Field Museum records,
the three cultural items were removed
from Franklin County, WA. At an
unknown date, Donald O. Boudeman
acquired the items for the Kalamazoo
Valley Museum, Kalamazoo, MI. In
1999, the Field Museum of Natural
History acquired the cultural items as a
gift from the Kalamazoo Valley
Museum, and accessioned them into its
collections that same year.
The three cultural items have been
identified as Native American through
museum records, scholarly publications,
and consultation information provided
by representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), that
the 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
a 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 Field
Museum of Natural History also have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), that there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the
unassociated funerary objects and the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; and Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington. Furthermore, officials of
the Field Museum of Natural History
have determined that there is a cultural
relationship between the unassociated
funerary objects and the Wanapum
Band, a non-Federally recognized
Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Helen Robbins,
