History and Description of the Cultural
Item
National Park Service
In November 1983 Betty S. Webber
and Catherine S. Chandler donated one
bear claw necklace to the University of
Iowa Museum of Natural History along
with other cultural items owned by their
father, Fred Armstrong Soleman, which
were purchased or received as gifts
during his career in Tama, IA. The bear
claw necklace was accessioned by the
University of Iowa Museum of Natural
History as SUI 33914. The bear claw
necklace was identified as an object of
cultural patrimony by Jonathan Buffalo,
Historical Preservation Director of the
Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in
Iowa, in a letter dated February 3, 2015.
Consultation with the Sac & Fox Tribe
of the Mississippi in Iowa confirmed
both that this object fits the definition
of an object of cultural patrimony under
NAGPRA and that it was collected in or
around the boundaries of the traditional
property of the Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa.
