SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the U.S.

to the river later called the Ocmulgee
River. The towns and people living
along Ochese Creek during that period
were referred to as the Ochese (various
spellings) Creek Nation, the Ochese
Creek people, and, finally, simply the
Creeks. The word Ochese and its
variations has been traced from middle
Georgia to the Chattahoochee River,
then to Florida, and finally to
Oklahoma. A squareground of this name
existed in Oklahoma until the 1950s.
There is an Ochese Street in Okmulgee,
Oklahoma. Ethnohistorical information
indicates that the Ichisi-Ochese were
probably Hitchiti speakers, which
would link them directly to Hitchiti
speakers among the later Seminole and
Miccosukee tribes. The Ichisi-Ochese
may also be linked less directly to
speakers of closely related Alabama and
Koasati languages among the latter-day
Alabama and Coushatta tribes.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Between 1933 and 1938, 436 cultural
items were removed from Lamar
Mounds and Village in Bibb County,
GA, during legally authorized projects
sponsored by the Works Progress
Administration. The human remains
were repatriated to culturally affiliated
tribes in 2015 by the Smithsonian
Institution, National Museum of Natural
History. The 436 unassociated funerary
objects are 3 awls, 25 beads, 1 bag of
beads, 1 blade, 1 burin, 3 celts, 1 piece
of fired clay, 1 piece of daub, 4
discoidals, 2 earplugs, 24 flakes, 2
animal bones, 5 shells, 1 gorget, 1 jar,
1 projectile point, 3 scrapers, 1 worked
shell, 7 soil samples, 1 flake tool, and
348 vessel fragments.
The Lamar Mounds and Village site
consists of two mounds, A and B, and
a palisaded village area. Archeological
evidence indicates that the Lamar
Mounds and Village site was occupied
during the entire Middle and Late
Mississippian periods (A.D. 1200–1650).
The regional manifestation of
archeological resources from the
Mississippian period has been
identified as the Lamar Culture.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the Lamar Culture ceramic types found
at Lamar Mounds and Village are
closely related to historic Creek and
Cherokee ceramic traditions.
The Lamar site is also believed to be
the town of Ichisi (Spanish) or Ochisi
(Portuguese) encountered by the
Hernando de Soto expedition in 1540.
Occupation of the site may have
continued into the early 18th century.
Between A.D. 1685 and 1717, the
English used variations of the name
Ochesehatchee or Ochese Creek to refer
Determinations Made by Ocmulgee
National Monument
Officials of Ocmulgee National
Monument have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 436 cultural items described above
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 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 Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of
Texas (previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas), AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town, Cherokee
Nation, Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana,
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians,
Kialegee Tribal Town, Miccosukee Tribe
of Indians, Poarch Band of Creeks
