Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Gilcrease
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of The
Osage Nation (previously listed as Osage
Tribe).
History and Description of the Remains
Around 1900, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from the
tribal land of the Osage Nation. Emil
Lenders, a painter and collector,
traveled throughout the Plains around
the turn of the century, and acquired
three scalp locks (accession numbers
86.20a–b, 86.23) during this time. In
1950, Thomas Gilcrease purchased
Lenders’ collection, including these
scalp locks. In 1955, Gilcrease
transferred his collection to the City of
Tulsa. The three individuals are of
unknown age and sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The scalp locks of these three
individuals were determined to be
Native American through physical
examination and provenance
documentation. Lenders’ collection
notes identify the scalps as Osage, and
the fact of their existence is consistent
with Osage traditions at the time.
Moreover, Lenders clearly had contact
with the Osage, based on his travels and
the provenience of other items from his
collection.
Determinations Made by the Gilcrease
Museum
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals 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 Osage Nation
(previously listed as 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 request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
