History and Description of the Cultural
Items
National Park Service
In 1898, the New York State Museum
(hereafter ‘‘Museum’’) acquired one
cultural item from Harriet Maxwell
Converse of New York City, NY.
Museum records indicate that Converse
acquired the mask from Charlie Adams
on the Tonawanda Seneca Reservation
(E–37613).
In 1906, Arthur C. Parker, Museum
ethnologist and archeologist, purchased
one cultural item for the New York State
Museum. The cultural item is a wooden
medicine mask (E–37039). Museum
records indicate the medicine face was
obtained from an individual on the
Tonawanda Seneca Reservation who
ceremonially passed the object and its
inhabiting spirit on to Parker’s care.
In 1918, Arthur C. Parker purchased
a cultural item for the Museum from
Mrs. Laura Doctor on the Tonawanda
Seneca Reservation. The cultural item is
a wooden medicine face (E–36869).
Museum records indicate the medicine
mask once belonged to Ely S. Parker, a
prominent member of the Tonawanda
Seneca Nation who was the uncle of
Mrs. Doctor and the great-uncle of
Arthur C. Parker. Ely S. Parker assisted
Lewis Henry Morgan with his study of
Iroquois culture, served in the Civil War
as adjutant for General Ulysses S. Grant,
and later became the first Native
American Commissioner of Indian
Affairs.
Traditional religious leaders of the
Tonawanda Band of Seneca (previously
listed as the Tonawanda Band of Seneca
Indians of New York) have identified
these three medicine masks as being
needed for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by presentday adherents. Museum documentation,
supported by oral evidence presented
during consultation with members of
the Haudenosaunee Standing
Committee on Burial Rules and
Regulations, indicates that these
medicine masks are culturally affiliated
with the Tonawanda Band of Seneca
(previously listed as the Tonawanda
Band of Seneca Indians of New York).
