History and Description of the Remains
In 1996 and 1998, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from CA–
FRE–2481 in Fresno County, CA. This
site was excavated by Don Wren and his
field archeology class for the Wiser
Project, and is located on private
property. In January 2017, funded by a
2016 NAGPRA Consultation/
Documentation grant awarded to the
State Center Community College
District, an osteological examination of
the faunal collections was conducted to
determine if human remains were
present. That examination resulted in
the identification of the human remains
described in this inventory. The human
remains belong to one adult of
indeterminate sex, and are represented
by one tooth and three tooth fragments.
No known individuals were identified.
The three associated funerary objects are
one steatite rim sherd, one blue
hexagonal trade bead, and one ochre
fragment.
Determinations Made by the State
Center Community College District—
Fresno City College
Officials of the State Center
Community College District—Fresno
City College have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the St. Joseph
Museums, Inc., St. Joseph, MO, that
meet the definition of objects of cultural
patrimony under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). 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
Items
The three objects of cultural
patrimony are a Life Stick, tattooing
needle from a sacred bundle, and a stick
bundle. In October 1915, Harry L.
George purchased an ‘‘Osage Life Stick’’
from Vern Thornburgh of Lincoln, NE,
for $12.50. Francis La Flesche was in
correspondence with Mr. Thornburgh
regarding the Life Stick and stated that
it belonged to ‘‘See Haw’’ before his
death. La Flesche also stated that the
Life Stick had belonged to one of the
Buffalo clans of the Osage tribe and was
used in ceremonies. Based on
consultation and the available
information, the Life Stick fits the
NAGPRA definition of an object of
cultural patrimony.
In March 1916, Harry L. George
purchased a tattooing needle from the
Indian Curio Company of Oklahoma
City, OK, for $10. According to
correspondence, George was trading

items purchased from Thornburgh with
the Indian Curio Company. Based on
consultation with the Osage Nation, the
tattooing needle was a component of a
sacred bundle, was removed from the
bundle, and was sold to Mr. George.
On an unknown date, Harry L. George
acquired a bundle of counting sticks.
During consultation with the Osage
Nation, the bundle of counting sticks
was identified as a consecrated item and
an object of cultural patrimony.
Consultation with the Osage Nation
on these three objects began in July
2015. Representatives of the Osage
Nation visited the St. Joseph Museum in
July 2017 to view the Harry L. George
collection. During consultation, the
Osage Nation identified the objects
listed above as objects of cultural
patrimony. After consulting with the
Osage Traditional Cultural Advisors
Committee, in July 2018, the Osage
Nation requested the repatriation of
these three cultural items.
Determinations Made by the St. Joseph
Museum
Officials of the St. Joseph Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the three cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the objects of cultural
patrimony and The Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Trevor Tutt, St. Joseph Museums, Inc.,

11, 2019. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the
objects of cultural patrimony to The
Osage Nation (previously listed as the
Osage Tribe) may proceed.
The St. Joseph Museum is responsible
for notifying The Osage Nation
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe)
that this notice has been published.
