Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2020 / Notices
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
At an unknown date, 31 sacred
objects were acquired and transported to
the East Coast, where they remained
part of a private collection of Native
American antiquities, art, and cultural
heritage. In the spring of 2018, these
items were seized by the FBI as part of
a criminal investigation. The 31 items
are ceremonial objects that had been
misidentified by the collector as
‘‘masks.’’
Through multiple consultations with
representatives of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona and the expertise of regional
archeologists, these items are culturally
affiliated with the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona.
Determinations Made by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation
Officials of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the 31 cultural items described above
are 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. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the sacred object and the Hopi
Tribe of Arizona.

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in Mississippi
County, MO. The human remains were
reportedly kept in an unspecified
museum before ending up in the

possession of a private collector in Fort
Madison, IA. After the collector’s death
in 1994, the human remains were
transferred to the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program.
A young adult female is represented by
the cranial and dental remains (Burial
Project 785). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The biological affinity of this
individual is uncertain, due to the
presence of both Native American and
European morphological traits. Cranial
metric analysis was confounded by
congenital malformation. However,
given the presence of some Native
American traits, this individual is
considered to be Native American.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from an
unknown location in Charleston,
Mississippi County, MO. At some point,
the human remains came into the
possession of a private collector in Fort
Madison, IA. After the collector’s death
in 1994, the human remains were
transferred to the Office of the State
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program.
A middle-aged female, an adult male,
and a male of indeterminate age are
represented by the cranial and dental
remains (Burial Project 785). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Cranial morphology and cranial
metrics analysis indicate these
individuals were Native American.
The general locations from which all
above mentioned individuals were
removed is considered the ancestral
homeland of The Osage Nation.
