cultural items to the lineal descendants,
Indian Tribes, or Native Hawaiian
organizations stated in this notice may
proceed.
DATES: 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
the Gilcrease Museum at the address in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the Gilcrease
Museum, Tulsa, OK, that meet the
definition of objects of cultural
patrimony under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal

Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.

community. These items were likely
purchased from a collector by Thomas
Gilcrease sometime during the mid-20th
century. In 1955 and 1962, Gilcrease
transferred these items along with the
rest of his collection to the City of Tulsa,
which owns the Gilcrease Museum. The
two objects of cultural patrimony are
bear claw and otter fur necklaces
(accession numbers 84.2159 and 84.812)
of 19th century-circa 1900 date.
In 1971, one cultural item was
separated from its Pawnee family
caretaker, who likely resided in
Oklahoma. The item was given by
Brummett Echohawk to the Gilcrease
Museum. The one object of cultural
patrimony is a medicine bundle
(accession number 84.1755) made in
Nebraska and dating to circa 1850.
At an unknown date, one cultural
item was separated from its Pawnee
caretaker—a family headed by Jim Little
Sun—whose place of residence is
unknown. The item was likely
purchased from a collector by Thomas
Gilcrease sometime during the mid-20th
century. In 1955 or 1962, Gilcrease
transferred this item to the City of Tulsa,
which owns the Gilcrease Museum. The
one object of cultural patrimony is a
medicine kit (accession number
84.2295a–m) dating to circa 1900.
In the 1960s or early 1970s, two
cultural items were separated from a
Pawnee community likely located in
Oklahoma. They were purchased from a
pawn shop in Ralston, Oklahoma by
Ben Stone, a schoolteacher from
Claremore, Oklahoma. In the early
1970s, Stone donated these items to the
Gilcrease Museum. The two objects of
cultural patrimony are Hako bundles.
Documentation and records at the
museum identify all the above listed
items as Pawnee. Through consultation,
these were determined to be culturally
affiliated with the Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma and were identified as objects
of cultural patrimony.
Determinations Made by the Gilcrease
Museum
Officials of the Gilcrease Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the six 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 objects of cultural
patrimony and the Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma.
