History and Description of the Cultural
Item
In 1960, one cultural item was
purchased by Thomas K. Garry,
Superintendent of Custer Battlefield
National Monument, now known as
Little Bighorn Battlefield National
Monument. The cultural item originally
belonged to Charles Whistling Elk, a
member of the Northern Cheyenne
Tribe. On April 27, 1960 it was
purchased from Charles Whistling Elk’s
son-in-law, Albert Tallbull, also of the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe. The sacred
object is a medicine bundle containing
multiple objects including rattles, a
buffalo tail, a beaded leather bag, and
several small bags containing herbs,
roots, and amulets.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1982, two cultural items were
removed from the Mosquito Island Site
in Monroe County, FL. During an
authorized survey, human remains and
associated funerary objects were
collected from Mosquito Island. The
human remains and 41 objects were
described in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal
Register in 1996 (61 FR 8971, March 6,
1996) and were repatriated after the 30
day waiting period expired. The two
cultural items were mentioned in the
March 6, 1996 Notice of Inventory
Completion, but could not be located
prior to publication and so were not
included in the total number of
associated funerary objects described in
the notice. In 2011, the two objects were
found in National Park Service
collections. The two unassociated
funerary objects are one carbide lamp
and one incomplete boat lantern.
Archeological and ethnographic
information indicates that the Mosquito
Island Site was a Miccosukee campsite
during the mid-20th century.
Determinations Made by Everglades
National Park
Officials of Everglades National Park
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the two 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 the 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians.

the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
Between 1934 and 1935, a cultural
item was removed from the Snaketown
site (AZ U:13:1) on the Gila River Indian
Reservation, in Pinal County, AZ,
during legally authorized excavations
conducted by the Gila Pueblo
Foundation. In 1940, this item was
donated to the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology as part of a
larger collection donation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a
projectile point which was found in
association with a human burial, but the
human remains are not present in the
collections. Archeological evidence
places the Snaketown site within the
archeologically-defined Hohokam
tradition. The occupation of the
Snaketown site spans the years from
circa A.D. 500 or 700 to 1100 or 1150.
Continuities of mortuary practices,
ethnographic materials, and technology
indicate affiliation of Hohokam
settlements with present-day O’odham
(Piman) and Puebloan cultures. An
August 2000 cultural affiliation study,
submitted by the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, addresses continuities
