SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of The Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL,
which meet the definition of sacred
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1916, a buckskin dance skirt from
the Smith River in Del Norte County,
CA, represented by catalog number
62628, was accessioned by The Field
Museum of Natural History. Museum
records indicate that this item is Tolowa
in origin. The source for this cultural
item was recorded as ‘‘Old Ned’s Wife,’’
likely collected by Grace Nicholson.
This item was gifted to the Museum by
Edward Ayer, who is presumed to have
purchased the skirt from Ms. Nicholson
in her Pasadena store. It is possible that
this item was collected prior to the
museum accession date.
In 1918, a Gala buckskin dress,
represented by catalog number 62997,
and a buckskin headband, represented
by catalog number 62999, both from
California, were accessioned by The
Field Museum. Museum records
indicate that these items are Tolowa in
origin, and were purchased by Edward
Ayer from Grace Nicholson’s collection
in Pasadena. It is possible that these
items were collected prior to the
museum accession date.

The buckskin dance skirt and the Gala
buckskin dress were historically and are
presently used by young women in a
number of Tolowa ceremonies,
including the World Renewal Ceremony
(Nee-dash) and Puberty Ceremony. The
buckskin headdress was and is used by
men and boys during the same
ceremonies. The role and significance of
these ceremonial items to the people of
northern California has been confirmed
through consultation with the Tolowa
Dee-ni’ Nation, numerous ethnographic
texts, and the contemporary records and
publications of various museums, both
in terms of their religious importance to
the individual wearer and to the Tolowa
Dee-ni’ Nation (Tolowa people).
The Tolowa Dee-ni’ are culturally
affiliated with the area from which the
sacred objects were removed. This is
supported by consultation with the
Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and other
northern California nations, Department
of the Interior sources, and academic
publications that closely detail
genocide, relocations, political
organization, and cultural practice over
the course of northern California history
from the 1800s to the present.
Determinations Made by The Field
Museum of Natural History
Officials of The Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the three 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 the
Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation (previously
listed as the Smith River Rancheria,
California).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Helen Robbins, Repatriation Director,
The Field Museum of Natural History,
1400 S. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL
60605, telephone (312) 665–7317, email
hrobbins@fieldmuseum.org, by August
4, 2016. After that date, if no additional
claimants have come forward, transfer
of control of the sacred objects to the
Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation (previously
listed as the Smith River Rancheria,
California) may proceed.

History and Description of the Remains
In October 1895, human remains

individual were removed from a historic
cemetery in Longville, Plumas County,
CA. Excavations were carried out by
Stanford University alumna, Mabel
Louise Miller in 1895. She is known to
have excavated a Native American
cemetery abandoned around 1853 and
located at a rancheria near Longville, in
Plumas County. Miller gave the human
remains to the Leland Stanford Junior
Museum in October 1916 and
subsequently, the museum transferred
them to the Stanford University
Department of Anthropology. Currently,
the human remains are housed in the
Stanford University Archaeology
Collections. The cemetery was located
with the assistance of Ms. Beverly Ogle
and was used exclusively by Ms. Ogle’s
family. It lay adjacent to the home of
Ms. Ogle’s great-grandfather, Fred
Thomas, in the former town site of
Longville. Ms. Ogle’s family used this
