History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1939, a large collection of items
known as the Zimmerman collection
was donated to History Nebraska.
Among the items are the three sacred
objects listed in this notice. Initially,
this collection was loaned by Mary R.
Zimmerman to History Nebraska in
1934; it became a donation upon her
death in 1939. From 1898 to 1928, Dr.
Charles F. Zimmerman and his wife
Mary ‘‘Mollie’’ Zimmerman operated a
drug store in Naper, Nebraska. Mr.
Zimmerman was also employed by the
United States Government Indian
Medical Service. Museum records
indicate that Charles amassed a
collection of Native American objects
through purchases and gifts. The three
sacred objects listed in this notice are
one eagle feather hand fan (object id
4364–278), one two-piece pipestone
pipe [object id 4364–273–(1–2)], and
one pair of beaded leggings [object id
4364–276–(1–2)].
According to the Museum’s donation
records, the three items came from High
Eagle, and is presumed to be Joseph
High Eagle, the Oglala Sioux warrior,
medicine man, and cousin of Crazy
Horse. On October 14, 2021, Lilla Pearl
Asmund requested the repatriation of
the three items. She presented
information to show that the items are
sacred objects and that they had been
owned by her great-grandfather, Joseph
High Eagle. During consultation
between History Nebraska and the
Oglala Sioux Tribe, the Tribe
corroborated the information provided
to the Museum by Lilla Pearl Asmund.
Determinations Made by History
Nebraska
Officials of History Nebraska have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the three 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; and
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3005(a)(5)(A)
and 43 CFR 10.2(b)(1), Lilla Pearl
Asmund is the direct lineal descendant
of the individual who owned the sacred
objects.
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

additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the sacred
objects to Lilla Pearl Asmund may
proceed.

notifying Lilla Pearl Asmund and the
Oglala Sioux Tribe [previously listed as
Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge
Reservation, South Dakota] that this
notice has been published.
