A.D. 900–1300 and the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona includes similarities in material
culture, architecture, mortuary
practices, settlement patterns, and
agricultural methods. Hopi oral history
indicates connections to the people of
Wupatki and Nalakihu Pueblos and
numerous Hopi clans can be traced to
Wupatki Pueblo.

Monument have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 756 cultural items described above

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At unknown dates between 1951 and
1952, Julia K. Shishkin purchased eight
cultural items from a member of the
Pueblo of Nambe in Santa Fe County,
NM. On April 30, 1964, Mrs. Shishkin
offered to sell the eight items to the
School of American Research for twohundred dollars. On May 14, 1964, the
Executive Committee of the School of
American Research (School for
Advanced Research was formerly
School of American Research until
2007) examined the eight items from the
Pueblo of Nambe and subsequently
purchased them on May 15, 1964. The
eight cultural items are 1 large stone
figure (SAR.1964–3A); 1 set of black
feathers tied together with string
(SAR.1964–3BC), which are to be
attached to the SAR.1964–3A stone
figure; 5 stone figures with leather
carrying pouches (SAR.1964–4AB,
SAR.1964–5AB, SAR.1964–6AB,
SAR.1964–7AB, SAR.1964–8AB); and 1
small stone with rough surface on one

side, and polished opaque surface on
the other (SAR.1964–9).
On November 15, 1993, the School of
American Research, Indian Arts
Research Center sent a summary of
objects to the Pueblo of Nambe in
accordance to the reporting
requirements of NAGPRA. On January
20, 2012, a representative from the
Pueblo of Nambe contacted the School
for Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center via phone requesting
another report of objects in the School’s
collection. On January 23, 2012, a report
of Nambe objects with photos was sent
via email to the Pueblo of Nambe
representative. Correspondence and
consultation followed thereafter
regarding the eight cultural items listed
in this notice. The review of the School
for Advanced Research’s
documentation, in addition to physical
inspections by Pueblo of Nambe
representatives, has resulted in
confirmation from the Pueblo of Nambe
traditional leaders that the eight items
are of Pueblo of Nambe origin,
supporting cultural affiliation as well as
determining that the eight items are
sacred objects. The School for Advanced
Research, Indian Arts Research Center
records, including catalog cards and
other provenance information indicate
these items to be of Pueblo of Nambe
origin, further supporting the claim by
the Pueblo of Nambe. On December 3,
2013, the Pueblo of Nambe submitted a
repatriation request from the Lieutenant
Governor for the eight sacred objects.
Determinations Made by the School for
Advanced Research, Indian Arts
Research Center
Officials of the Indian Arts Research
Center at the School for Advanced
Research have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the eight cultural items described above
are specific ceremonial objects needed
by traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the sacred objects and Pueblo
of Nambe, New Mexico.
