History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime prior to July 1953, six
cultural items were removed from the
vicinity of site NA3640, which is
located in proximity to the argillite
mines in Chino Valley, Yavapai County,
AZ. In 1953, these objects were
transferred to the Pueblo Grande
Museum by private collectors Ida and
Moulton Smith. Provenience
information provided for the objects
states they were ‘‘. . .found in a
shallow grave on Taylor land east of the
prehistoric pipestone quarries north of
Chino Valley in Yavapai County.’’ The
six unassociated funerary objects are
four copper bells and two textile
fragments. The unassociated funerary
objects likely belong to the Sinagua
Archeological Culture.
The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe
(previously listed as Yavapai-Prescott
Tribe of the Yavapai Reservation,
Arizona) trace their ancestry to bands
once living in the Sinagua archeological
cultural area.
Determinations Made by the Pueblo
Grande Museum
Officials of the Pueblo Grande
Museum have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the six cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the six unassociated funerary
objects and the Yavapai-Prescott Indian

Tribe (previously listed as the YavapaiPrescott Tribe of the Yavapai
Reservation, Arizona).
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
Lindsey Vogel-Teeter, Pueblo Grande
Museum, 4619 E Washington Street,
Phoenix, AZ 85034, telephone (602)
534–1572, email lindsey.vogel-teeter@
phoenix.gov, by June 29, 2020. After
that date, if no additional claimants
have come forward, transfer of control
of the six unassociated funerary objects
to the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe
(previously listed as the YavapaiPrescott Tribe of the Yavapai
Reservation, Arizona) may proceed.
The Pueblo Grande Museum is
responsible for notifying the YavapaiPrescott Indian Tribe (previously listed
as the Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of the
Yavapai Reservation, Arizona) that this
notice has been published.

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
a written request with information in
support of the request to Laura Bryant,
