History and Description of the Remains
[NPS–WASO–NAGPRA–10221; 2200–1100–
665]
In the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from
unknown sites in the state of Maine.
The remains were a part of a collection
loan to the University of Maine, Hudson
Museum, by the former Portland Society
of Natural History and subsequently
donated to the University of Maine,
Hudson Museum by the Maine
Audubon Society. The human remains
are identified at the University of
Maine, Hudson Museum, as numbers 12
and 13. Number 12 is a mandible from
a female, age 18–40, and number 13 is
a mandible from a male, age 18–40.
Number 13 is consistent with
archaeological remains, while number
12 is not likely from an archaeological
context. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
All human remains in the possession
of the University of Maine, Hudson
Museum, were reviewed by forensic
anthropologist Marcella Sorg, Ph.D., D–
ABFA on July 16, 2002, who was
assisted by former Hudson Museum
Director Stephen Whittington, Lisa
Hunter, and Kentra Gleuck. The
resulting report indicates the minimum
number of individuals, age, sex,
ancestry, and provenience if available.
The human remains represented by #12
and #13 were determined to be of Native
American ancestry and have
provenience to the ancestral territories
of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs
Indians of Maine, Houlton Band of
Maliseet Indians of Maine,
Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine, and the
Penobscot Tribe of Maine.

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location and through testing,
were determined to be the remains of
Native American ancestry. The human
remains, a scalp lock attached to a
lance, were likely acquired from Mrs.
Madge Hardin Walters of San Diego, CA,
by Mr. Earl Horter of Philadelphia, PA,
and subsequently sold to the Bureau of
Indian Affairs by Ms. Elizabeth Lentz
Horter. The Bureau of Indian Affairs
purchased these items in 1941 for its
Museum of the Plains Indian. The
Museum of the Plains Indian was
transferred to the Indian Arts and Crafts
Board in 1965. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

Board have determined that:
• Based on the results of laboratory
testing, the human remains are
consistent with Native American origin.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
