SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
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
University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology,
Philadelphia, PA. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed from Baranoff Island, AK.
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 University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida
Indian Tribes; Chilkat Indian Village
(Klukwan); Chilkoot Indian Association
(Haines); Hoonah Indian Association;
Sitka Tribe of Alaska; Yakutat Tlingit
Tribe; and Sealaska Corporation, a nonfederally recognized entity.
History and Description of the Remains
In December 1931, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a cave, in
an unknown location, on the shoreline
of Baranof Island in the Peril Strait in
Alaska by Louis Shotridge. The human
remains (UPM no. 31–29–17) represent
the intact, fully clothed body of a single
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20631
individual, male, 45–50 years old. The
human remains are naturally
mummified from the waist to the head.
The pelvis and lower limbs are fully
skeletonized. The human remains are
believed to be those of Kagank, a Tlingit
Kaagwaantaan Shaman. The 12
associated funerary objects include one
exterior woven mat, one hide wrapping,
one wool blanket, one wooden frame
structure over the face, one nose pin,
one pair of hide gloves, one hide shirt
with quill decoration, one fine woven
cloth, one pair of hide boots, one bird
wing, one ornament of braided hair, and
one twined basket.
The positioning and ornamentation of
the human remains and associated
funerary objects was reviewed by the
Museum staff and several Tlingit
consultants. The evidence strongly
suggests that this individual is from the
Northwest Coast region. Louis Shotridge
collected the human remains directly
from their original cave setting on the
shoreline of Baronoff Island in the Peril
Strait and shipped them to the
University of Pennsylvania Museum in
early 1932. According to collector
information, consultation, and
ethnographic and anthropological
literature, the cave is located within
traditional Tlingit Sitka Territory.
Collector documents and consultation
information identify this individual as
Kagank, a Tlingit shaman from the
Kaagwaantaan clan. According to
Shotridge’s ethnographic field notes, the
name Kagank originates with the
Kagwaantaan clan at Chilkat during the
early period of their occupation of the
area. According to consultation
information provided in 2013, the name
Kagank is also attributed to a 19th
century Tlingit Kaagwaantaan shaman
who died en route to a Deisheetan Clan
potlatch. Members of the Kaagwaantaan
Clan are represented today by the
Central Council of Tlingit & Haida
Indian Tribes; Chilkat Indian Village
(Klukwan); Chilkoot Indian Association
(Haines); Hoonah Indian Association;
Sitka Tribe of Alaska; and Yakutat
Tlingit Tribe. During consultation in
2005, representatives of the Hoonah
Indian Association indicated that these
human remains were not affiliated with
the village of Hoonah.
Determinations Made by the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology
Officials of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 12 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Central Council of the Tlingit &
Haida Indian Tribes; Chilkat Indian
Village (Klukwan); Chilkoot Indian
Association (Haines); Sitka Tribe of
Alaska; and Yakutat Tlingit Tribe.

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
