History and Description of the Remains
In 2003–2004, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
9GE2084 in Greene County, GA. During
an intensive survey, conducted by
Southeastern Archeological Services
from 2003–2004, a series of rock piles
(9GE2084) was identified, and minimal
excavations were conducted. One rock
pile (Rock Pile C) was identified as
prehistoric. As looting disturbance was

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 24, 2019 / Notices
also noted, the rock pile was cleared of
debris and loose rocks, revealing human
remains at the bottom of the pothole.
Work was halted and Southeastern
Archeological Services contacted the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Georgia
Department of Natural Resources—
Historic Preservation Division, and the
Georgia Indian Council. After
consultation, excavation with a 1x1
meter unit was conducted to further
delineate the burial. The human
remains and the associated funerary
objects were transferred from
Southeastern Archeological Services to
the University of Georgia, Laboratory of
Archaeology on December 20, 2016. The
human remains, which consist of 80
bone fragments, include four teeth of a
young adult, 16–22 years of age. No
known individuals were identified. The
44 associated funerary objects are 16
sherds (less than 1⁄2 inch), two quartz
tertiary flakes, two quartz flake
fragments, and 24 sherds of a mended
Lamar pottery vessel (9GE2084).
The geographical location of the
burial within the historically
documented territory of The Muscogee
(Creek) Nation supports a cultural
affiliation with The Muscogee (Creek)
Nation.

History and Description of the Cultural
Item
On July 17, 1962, Charles A. Walker,
a member of the Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska, donated a trunk containing
medicinal bundles to History Nebraska
(then known as the Nebraska State
Historical Society). In a letter dated July
9, 1962, Mr. Walker asked then-director
Marvin Kivett if the Nebraska State
Historical Society could preserve the
‘‘Indian relic known as bundle.’’ Mr.
Kivett drove to the Omaha reservation
in Thurston County, NE, and picked up
the trunk on July 17, 1962. The trunk
and its contents had been owned by
Charles Walker’s grandfather, Alan
Walker (mistakenly noted as ELLEN
Walker in History Nebraska’s records),
who reportedly died in 1907, at the age
of 69. The collection was reported to
have been previously owned by Alan
Walker’s father.
On June 21, 2018, Marisa Cummings,
a lineal descendant of Charles Walker
and Alan Walker, requested the
repatriation of the trunk collection as a
sacred object. History Nebraska first
initiated consultation on this collection
by sending a NAGPRA summary to the
Omaha Tribe of Nebraska in November
of 1993. History Nebraska reinitiated
consultation with the Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska in June of 2018. On September
26, 2018, the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska
requested the repatriation of the trunk
collection as an object of cultural
patrimony.
Determinations Made by History
Nebraska
Officials of History Nebraska have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the one cultural item described above
contains specific ceremonial objects
needed by traditional Native American
religious leaders for the practice of
traditional Native American religions by
their present-day adherents;
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3005(a)(5)(A)
and 43 CFR 10.2(b)(1), Marissa
Cummings is the direct lineal
descendant of the individual who
owned the sacred object;
