SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Neville Public Museum of Brown
County, Green Bay, WI. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Portage Point, Door
County, WI.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Neville Public
Museum of Brown County professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Ho-Chunk Nation
of Wisconsin.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1930, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Portage Point in Door
County, WI. A partial skeleton of 35–50
year-old male was discovered and
excavated by P. M. Platten and P.
Krippner. The human remains were
brought to Neville Public Museum of
Brown County after excavation. No
known individuals were identified. The
approximately 33 associated funerary
objects are pot sherds.
Potsherds accompanying burial and
lack of trade goods suggest a late precontact date for the burial. Based on HoChunk’s Early Historic Period
homeland, the human remains and

SUMMARY:
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1988, 27 masks and mask parts and
two wrist guards were acquired by the
Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, TX,
through a local gallery in Dallas, TX.
According to the gallery’s owner, the
masks, mask parts, and wrist guards
were bought from a private Arizona
collector who had purchased them from
the son of a former head of the Hopi
Badger Clan. These items were reported
in the summaries in 1993 through
compliance with NAGPRA. Following
the summary, the number of parts
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
associated with this accession was
variously corrected and updated
through identification and pairing.
According to museum records, the
mask, mask parts, and wrist guards have
never been placed on exhibit; they have
remained in storage since acquisition.
In 2009, the Dallas Museum of Art
accepted by donation two dance wands,
which had been on loan to the museum
since 1984 by a Dallas collector. The
dance wands had been on exhibit at the
time of consultation in 1993 by
representatives of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona. They were promptly placed in
storage following the visit.
The 31 sacred objects hereby
submitted in this notice for intent to
repatriate include: 2 woman’s society
dance wands (a pair); 1 case mask of
Kokopelli, hump-backed flute player; 1
case mask of the Laguna corn dancer; 1
half-mask; 23 accessories for case
masks, 1 pair of wrist guards; and 2
dance caps.
In 1993, the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
came to the museum to review the
collection, identifying the respective
masks parts. The Dallas Museum of Art
was in correspondence with the Hopi
Tribe of Arizona in 1997 and 1998
regarding the potential for treatment of
the organic materials, for which the
museum had no record of treatment for
objects within the 1988 acquisition. The
Dallas Museum of Art and Hopi Tribe of
Arizona renewed correspondence about
the masks and mask parts in 2014,
which included at that time additional
information regarding the dance wands.
A request for repatriation of these 31
items was submitted by the Hopi Tribe
of Arizona on December 23, 2014. The
Dallas Museum of Art formally
recognized the claim on March 19, 2015
with Board of Trustees approval.
Determination Made by the Dallas
Museum of Art
Officials of the Dallas Museum of Art
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the 31 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(3)(D),
the 31 cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
