History and Description of the Cultural

Snake Dance at Oraibi, and six prayer

collected a feather wand (catalog no.

collected by Dr. Cummings were
subsequently accessioned by the
Arizona State Museum.
In 1919, the Arizona State Museum
purchased a Hopi feather tuft (catalog
no. 8508) from the Nelle Dermont
Collection. In 1926, Harold Gladwin
collected a Hopi tortoise carapace rattle
(catalog no. GP399) for the Gila Pueblo
Foundation. In 1926, the Gila Pueblo
Foundation purchased a turtle carapace
rattle (catalog no. GP4761) from Alice

Foundation closed and these two objects
were donated to the Arizona State

Arizona State Museum. In 1969, the
Arizona State Museum purchased a

These items all appear to be Hopi by
virtue of the circumstances of their
acquisition, and/or through
identification by Hopi cultural
specialists. Specific knowledge
provided by the Society Priests of the
Hopi Tribe gives a positive
identification to substantiate ownership
of these sacred and religious items.
These objects are regarded as sacred
objects and as objects of cultural
patrimony, which are used by the
Momngwit in the Hopi villages for the
practice of the Hopi Religion. The Hopi
Cultural Preservation Office of the Hopi
Tribe, representing the Society Priests,
pursuant to section 7.(a)(2) of P.L. 101–
601 and Hopi Tribal Council Resolution
H–70–94, hereby asserts cultural
affiliation to the sacred and religious
items as described. These items are
identified as sacred and religious
objects, and are objects of cultural
patrimony.
Determinations Made by the Arizona
State Museum, University of Arizona
Officials of the Arizona State
Museum, University of Arizona have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the 72 cultural items described above
are specific ceremonial objects needed
