FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made on behalf of the BIA
by the University of Montana
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Blackfeet Tribe of
the Blackfeet Indian Reservation of
Montana.
History and Description of the Remains
On or before 1985, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Glacier
County, MT. In 1985, an adult female
cranium was received by the University
of Montana from the Montana Division
of Forensic Sciences. The cranium
(UMAFC #38) was heavily weathered,
suggesting it had lain on the ground
surface for an extended period. The
Montana Division of Forensic Sciences
(MDFS) could find no additional
information about the specific location
of the removal of the human remains or
the circumstances of MDFS’s
acquisition and transfer of the human
remains to the University of Montana.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Glacier County is a sparsely
populated region that lies within the
Blackfeet Reservation. Historic human
remains found in this area most likely
are culturally affiliated with the
Blackfeet Tribe.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In the late 19th or early 20th century,
18 cultural items were removed from
Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe
communities. Thomas Gilcrease likely
acquired these items as part of a larger
collection in the mid-1900s, though the
exact details are unknown. Thomas
Gilcrease transferred his collection to
the City of Tulsa in 1955. The one object
of cultural patrimony is a birch bark
basket (accession number 71.454). The
17 sacred objects and objects of cultural
patrimony are one loom beaded sash
(84.1868), one sweet grass basket
(71.226), and 15 bandolier bags
(84.1721, 84.1729a–b, 84.1707,
84.1719a–b, 84.1720a–b, 84.1715a–b,
84.1708, 84.1717, 84.1711, 84.1714a–b,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
84.1724a–b, 84.1706a–b, 84.1716a–b,
84.1710, and 84.1727a–b).
All these items are identified as
Ojibwe in the Gilcrease Museum’s
records, and their cultural affiliation
was confirmed during consultations
with the Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake)
and the Mille Lacs Band of the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota.
The birch bark basket is a communally
owned ceremonial object that could not
be separated by an individual from the
community. The beaded sash and basket
are communally owned, are still used in
ceremonies today, and have on-going
historical, traditional, and cultural
importance to the Ojibwe. Likewise,
bandolier bags are owned by the
community, are still used in traditional
ceremonies today, and have on-going
historical, traditional, and cultural
importance to the Ojibwe.
Circa 1905, two cultural items were
removed from a Mille Lacs Band of
Ojibwe community in the Minneapolis,
MN, by Mervin T. Miller. His son,
Gordon Miller, inherited his father’s
collection and donated it to the
Gilcrease Museum in 1972. The two
sacred objects and objects of cultural
patrimony are one pair of moccasins
(84.2186a–b) and one beaded bag
(84.2188).
Both items are identified as Ojibwe in
the Gilcrease’s records. As they were
collected from Minneapolis, more likely
than not, they are affiliated with the
Mille Lacs Band of the Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota. During
consultation, the moccasins and beaded
bag were determined to be communally
owned, can be used in a traditional
ceremony or dance today, and have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural
importance to the Ojibwe.
Circa 1900, one cultural item was
removed from an Ojibwe community.
Emil Lenders, a painter and collector,
traveled throughout the Plains around
the turn of the century, at which time
he acquired the item. In 1950, Thomas
Gilcrease purchased Lenders’ collection,
including this item. Gilcrease
transferred his collection to the City of
Tulsa in 1955. The one sacred object
and object of cultural patrimony is a
pair of beaded cuffs (84.1847a–b).
These beaded cuffs are identified as
possibly Chippewa (Ojibwe) in the
Gilcrease’s records, and their Ojibwe
affiliation was confirmed during
consultation. Beaded garters are
communally owned, are still used in a
traditional ceremony today, and have
on-going historical, traditional, or
cultural importance to the Ojibwe.
On an unknown date, one cultural
item was removed from a Mille Lacs
Band of Ojibwe community. It was
PO 00000

purchased in a Warehouse Auction by
John and Ruthene Alexander, who
donated by them to the Gilcrease
Museum in 2006. The one sacred object
and object of cultural patrimony is a
beaded bandolier bag (84.3295).
This bandolier bag is identified as
Ojibwe in the Gilcrease’s records, and
their Ojibwe affiliation was confirmed
during consultation. Bandolier bags are
communally owned, are still used in
traditional ceremonies today, and have
on-going historical, traditional, or
cultural importance to the Ojibwe.
In the early 1900s, one cultural item
was removed from a Mille Lacs Band of
Ojibwe community by Frank Engles, a
collector. In 1950, Thomas Gilcrease
purchased Frank Engles’ collection,
including this item. Gilcrease
transferred his collection to the City of
Tulsa in 1955. The one object of cultural
patrimony is a war club with an
attached scalp lock (73.247).
Frank Engles made a note that read,
‘‘The scalp is affiliated with the
Ojebway [sic] tribe; however, the club
belongs to the Chippeway [sic] of
Minninsota [sic].’’ Through consultation
with Minnesota Ojibwe tribes, this item
has been affiliated with the Mille Lacs
Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe,
Minnesota. The war club is communally
owned and has on-going historical,
traditional, and cultural importance to
the Ojibwe.
Determinations Made by the Gilcrease
Museum
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 21
of the 23 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(3)(D), all
23 cultural items described above have
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 sacred objects and objects
of cultural patrimony and the Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota (Mille Lacs
Band).

The 17 sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony are one loom
beaded sash (84.1868), one sweet grass basket (71.226), and 15
bandolier bags (84.1721, 84.1729a-b, 84.1707, 84.1719a-b, 84.1720a-b,

84.1706a-b, 84.1716a-b, 84.1710, and 84.1727a-b).
All these items are identified as Ojibwe in the Gilcrease Museum's

In the early 1900s, one cultural item was removed from a Mille Lacs
Band of Ojibwe community by Frank Engles, a collector. In 1950, Thomas
Gilcrease purchased Frank Engles' collection, including this item.
Gilcrease transferred his collection to the City of Tulsa in 1955. The
one object of cultural patrimony is a war club with an attached scalp
lock (73.247).
Frank Engles made a note that read, ``The scalp is affiliated with
the Ojebway [sic] tribe; however, the club belongs to the Chippeway
[sic] of Minninsota [sic].'' Through consultation with Minnesota Ojibwe
tribes, this item has been affiliated with the Mille Lacs Band of the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota. The war club is communally owned
and has on-going historical, traditional, and cultural importance to
the Ojibwe.
Determinations Made by the Gilcrease Museum
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 21 of the 23 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(3)(D), all 23 cultural items
described above have 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 sacred
objects and objects of cultural patrimony and the Minnesota Chippewa
Tribe, Minnesota (Mille Lacs Band).
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
