Jkt 256001
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In the mid-18th century, two cultural
items were removed from Whahktukuk
in Berkshire County, MA. According to
museum documentation, both items
were donated to the Berkshire Museum
in 1958 by Allen Peck of Pittsfield.
According to the donor, both items had
been given to Israel Dickinson of
Pittsfield (1736–1777), his great-great
grandfather, by Sachem John Konkapot
of Stockbridge (ca. 1690–1765), a
significant leader in the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin. The
two objects of cultural patrimony are
one wampum pouch and one pair of
moccasins.
In consultation with the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin, the
Berkshire Museum has determined that
the date and provenience of the cultural
items reasonably accord with the lives
of both John Konkapot and Israel
Dickinson. Consequently, the
information in the possession of the
Berkshire Museum shows that Sachem
Konkapot was the caretaker of the
pouch and moccasins prior to the
donor’s great-great grandfather, Israel
Dickinson, coming into possession of
them.
The wampum pouch has ongoing
historical, traditional, or cultural
importance central to the Native
American group or culture itself, rather
than property owned by an individual,
and cannot be alienated, appropriated,
or conveyed by an individual regardless
of whether or not the individual is a
member of the Indian Tribe. Written
histories establish the wampum pouch
as a continuing culturally significant
artifact since at least the eighteenth
century. In Stockbridge Past and
Present, or, Records of an Old Mission
Station, Hendrick Aupaumut, a wellknown 18th century Stockbridge
Mohican historian and diplomat wrote,
‘‘The Sachem is allowed to keep Mnoti, or peaceable bag, or bag of peace. . .
In this bag they keep various Squau-thowon, or belts of wampum: Also strings;
which belts and strings they used to
establish peace and friendship with
different nations, and to use them on
many occasions, and passed as coin. In
this bag they keep all belts and strings
which they received of their allies of
different nations.’’ Aupaumut added,
‘‘Another, and important use of the
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Wampum was its substitution in the
place of writing. The red bead signified
blood, the black or dark colors had a
severe meaning, while white denoted
peace. Then ideas could be conveyed by
various figures into which It was
wrought, a red hatchet, for instance,
readily suggesting the idea of war. Thus,
not only the fact that a treaty had been
made, but its terms could be kept in
mind, and the various circumstances in
the history of a nation could be
recorded.’’ Accordingly, the wampum
pouch is hereditary to the office of the
Sachem, allowing the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin to
establish treaties with other nations
serving as a literal container of history
and oral tradition.
The pair of moccasins also satisfy
NAGPRA’s definition of cultural
patrimony. They are significant for
having belonged to Stockbridge-Munsee
Sachem John Konkapot.
Determinations Made by the Berkshire
Museum
Officials of the Berkshire Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the two 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 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 these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Jason Vivori, Berkshire Museum, 39
South Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201,
telephone (413) 443–7171 Ext. 341,
email jvivori@berkshiremuseum.org, by
February 9, 2022. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the
objects of cultural patrimony to the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin may proceed.
The Berkshire Museum is responsible
for notifying the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin that this notice
has been published.
