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 In 1907, one cultural item was created by Jack Tonto (a.k.a. Tonto Jack) for Taylor Gabbard, who lived in the Arizona Territory. The cultural item was passed down to his descendants, exhibited at a branch of the Phoenix Public Library for a number of years, and published online. On April 17, 2014, the cultural item was donated to the Heard Museum and accessioned into their collection. The cultural item is a painted hide. Representatives of the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; and YavapaiApache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona, have identified the painted hide as affiliated with the Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. They further identify imagery on the hide as having been made for a specific use in a specific ceremony. The practitioner of this ceremony used this cultural item, along with specific songs and prayers to animate the cultural item with power from the creation and specific products of the creation, for the purpose of blessing. Medicine people today practice this ceremony as it has always been practiced. Due to the nature, the beliefs, and the items integral to this ceremony, the hide has ongoing historical, traditional, and cultural importance central to Western Apache culture. The last part of the ceremony for which this item was made, following the death of the individual for whom it was made, involves placing the hide in a secure location away from human habitation. Failing to put this hide away properly after its more active use or removing this item from its resting place, thus interrupting the unfolding ritual, poses great danger to those who come in contact with it. Putting the item away properly can only be E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM 14JNN1
