also unclear how and when the object
left the possession of the Quinney
Family. The object of cultural patrimony
is one set of three silver ring brooches.
Research by the Yager Museum staff,
as well as information provided by the
Stockbridge-Munsee Community,
Wisconsin in consultation with the
Museum, has demonstrated that this
object meets the definition of object of
cultural patrimony. The brooches were
likely badges of office, utilized by
Quinney in his role as intercultural
broker and diplomat, acting on behalf of
the Stockbridge-Munsee across lines of
political and cultural difference.
Quinney’s brooches are a material
signifier of Stockbridge-Munsee
sovereignty and their struggle to
maintain such sovereignty in the face of
attempts at dissolution.
Determinations Made by the Hartwick
College, Yager Museum of Art & Culture
Officials of the Hartwick College,
Yager Museum of Art & Culture have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the one cultural item described above
has ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the object of cultural patrimony
and the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin.
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 this cultural item
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to

Art & Culture, Hartwick College, 1
Hartwick Drive, Oneonta, NY 13820,
telephone (607) 431–4481, email

claimants have come forward, transfer
of control of the object of cultural

Community, Wisconsin may proceed.

the sole responsibility of the museum,
institution, or Federal agency that has
control of the Native American human
remains. The National Park Service is
not responsible for the determinations
in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by FBI professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of Fort Sill Apache Tribe
of Oklahoma; Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the
Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo
of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris,
New Mexico; and the Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Reservation, Arizona (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
At various unknown dates, human
remains representing, at minimum, six
individuals were removed from
undisclosed locations throughout New
Mexico and Arizona. The human
remains were transported to Indiana,
where they remained as part of a private
collection of Native American
antiquities and cultural heritage. In
April 2014, the human remains were
seized by the FBI as part of a criminal
investigation.
Although these human remains were
heavily co-mingled at the time of
recovery, a preponderance of evidence
supports the findings that these human
remains are Native American from the
Southwest region of New Mexico and/
or Arizona. Careful consideration of the
evidence included: Cultural,
geographical, biological, archeological,
anthropological, and expert opinion
from the region. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects were present.
The known region and non-invasive/
non-destructive skeletal analysis,
indicate that the individuals are
affiliated with Native American people
from the Southwest. The particular
composition of the soil matrix present
on the human remains, in addition to
other evidence, indicates that the
individuals were taken from various
undisclosed locations in the Southwest.
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(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of six

individuals of Native American/
Southwest 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 Tribes.
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
