Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the New 
Jersey State Museum professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Remains

    Sometime after 1868, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were collected by Mr. Charles A. Philhower of Westfield, NJ. 
The human remains were donated to Rutgers University, Special 
Collections and Library and, in 1972, transferred to the New Jersey 
State Museum as a permanent loan. In 2010, the Philhower collection was 
permanently accessioned into the New Jersey State Museum. The human 
remains consist of a hair lock and scalp representing one male of 
indeterminate age. A note accompanying the scalp lock reads ``Taken 
from the head of a Pawnee Indian by an Indian wagon driver, Alapthe, 
along the old Santa Fe Trail near Wagon Mound in the center of New 
Mexico, year 1868.'' No known individual was identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.

Determinations Made by the New Jersey State Museum

    Officials of the New Jersey State Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.
