European artist who immigrated to the
United States in the 1890s and traveled
throughout the Midwest, acquired these
two items. The Thomas Gilcrease
Foundation purchased Lenders’
collection on June 7, 1950. Thomas
Gilcrease transferred his collection to
the City of Tulsa in 1955 and 1964. The
unassociated funerary objects are two
pairs of moccasins (accession numbers
84.425a–b and 84.426a–b).
The moccasins were identified as
Cheyenne in Gilcrease Museum’s
records, and that affiliation was
confirmed during consultation with the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma. Both pairs of moccasins are
covered in dirt and show signs of having
been buried. Moccasins are regularly
buried with individuals.
Determinations Made by the Gilcrease
Museum
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the five 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 unassociated funerary
objects and the Cheyenne and Arapaho
Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of
Oklahoma).
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
Laura Bryant, Gilcrease Museum, 1400
North Gilcrease Museum Road, Tulsa,
OK 74127, telephone (918) 596–2747,
email laura-bryant@utulsa.edu, by
December 7, 2020. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the
unassociated funerary objects to the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma (previously listed as
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma)
may proceed.
The Gilcrease Museum is responsible
for notifying the Cheyenne and Arapaho
Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma)
that this notice has been published.
