History and Description of the Cultural
Item
In 1904, one cultural item was
removed from a grave near Fort Clark,
Mercer County, ND, and donated to the
Peabody Museum of Natural History in
1915. The one unassociated funerary
object is a swan bone whistle.
Museum documentation identifies the
provenience as an Arikara grave near
Fort Clark, ND. In 1830, the Fort Clark
Trading Post was established in an area
south of a Mandan village by James
Kipp, an employee of the American Fur
Company. The Mandan occupied the
village until 1837, when a disastrous
smallpox epidemic forced their removal.
Before the Mandan could return, a
group of Arikara moved into the village
and remained until about 1861.
Descendants of the Arikara and Mandan
of the Fort Clark, ND, region are today
members of the Three Affiliated Tribes
of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the one cultural item described above is
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 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
object and the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
