History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, six
cultural items were removed from the
Mix Cave site (PU 93) in Pulaski
County, MO, by Mr. and Mrs. Edward H.
Nadeau. The six unassociated funerary
objects are 5 potsherds and 1 worked
white-tailed deer ulna. The objects were
donated to the Museum of Natural
History and Planetarium, Roger
Williams Park, by Mr. and Mrs. Nadeau
on January 23, 1933. The objects are all
labeled ‘‘Mix Cave, Pulaski Co., Mo.’’
They were given the catalog number
E2706 and the accession number 8918.
The objects were part of a collection of
50 lots of American Indian objects and
geological specimens collected in the
1920s by the Nadeaus. No other records
related to this donation have been
located.
Following an examination by
representatives of The Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe) in
January 2016, the Osage Nation and the
museum concurred that the objects are
unassociated funerary objects. The
Osage Nation considers the Mix Cave
site (PU 93) a sacred site and a burial
located on Osage ancestral lands.
Determinations Made by the Museum of
Natural History and Planetarium,
Roger Williams Park
Officials of the Museum of Natural
History and Planetarium, Roger
Williams Park, have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 6 cultural items described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
13839
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 Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe).
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
