History and Description of the Remains
In 1958, human remains representing,
at minimum, eight individuals, were
removed from Site 39SL4 (known as the
Sully site) in Bison, Perkins County, SD.
The circumstances under which these
human remains came to be in the
possession of the Department of
Anthropology at American University is
unknown, but they may have been
excavated by archeologist Charles
McNutt (1928–2017). As a doctoral
student, McNutt worked for a period on
the Missouri River Basin Project that
involved excavation of the Sully Site.
The human remains belong to eight
individuals of unknown sex and age. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Sully site is considered to have
been the largest earthlodge village in the
Middle Missouri subarea. It was
occupied from about A.D. 1550 to 1725
and is identified as the likely location
of an Arikara village.

History and Description of the Remains
On October 23–24, 1862, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from or near
Fort Cobb, Caddo County, OK.
Sometime after 1927, the left hand of
the individual was donated to the Texas
Collection at Baylor University by Mr.
Clint Padgitt. In 1989, the human
remains were transferred from the Texas
Collection to the Strecker Museum. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The individual (AR 20799) was
purported to have been killed by Chief
Placido of the Tonkawa, during what is
known as the Tonkawa Massacre.
Stories and newspaper accounts about
the hand relate that Chief Placido of the
Tonkawa killed Chief Black Foot (or
Black Hawk) of the Comanche in a knife
fight, during which Chief Placido was
also wounded and later died of his
wounds. After the fight, Chief Placido
proceeded to cut off Chief Black Foot’s
(or Black Hawk’s) left hand and sent it
to his friend Captain Ross in Texas. The
Padgitt family acquired the hand when
Mr. Clint Padgitt’s father, Mr. Tom
Padgitt, married Captain Ross’ daughter.
On June 15, 2018, the Comanche
Nation informed Baylor University’s
Mayborn Museum Complex that after
extensive research, ‘‘Chief Black Foot’’
is not known to the Comanche Nation.
In December of 2020, the name Chief
Black Hawk came to light. On February
9, 2021, the Comanche Nation informed
Baylor University’s Mayborn Museum
Complex that after extensive research,
