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 Bryn Mawr
College, Bryn Mawr, PA, that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects 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
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
On an unknown date, two cultural
items were removed from the Yazoo
River region of Mississippi. William
Sansom Vaux bequeathed a collection to
the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS)
upon his death in 1882. That collection
included the two cultural items. ANS
accessioned them on June 27, 1912. In
1961, ANS loaned approximately 3,000
items to Bryn Mawr College, including
the cultural items. In 1997, the ANS
board voted to transfer control of the
items to Bryn Mawr College and in
1998, ANS executed the transfer. The
two unassociated funerary objects are
one effigy pipe and one bowl.
Based on geographical and historical
information provided by The Choctaw
Nation of Oklahoma, the effigy pipe and
bowl are culturally affiliated with The
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The
geographical and historical evidence
includes the 1820 Treaty of Doak’s
Stand, whereby The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma ceded lands in the Yazoo
River region to the United States.
Determinations Made by Bryn Mawr
College
Officials of Bryn Mawr College have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the two cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1981, Steven and Susan Nelson
gifted two Navajo medicine bundles
(X81.197 and X81.196) to the Fowler
Museum at UCLA, and in 1984, they
gifted a suitcase of Navajo Yei ceremony
dance regalia (X84.224) to the Museum.
The two medicine bundles and one set
of dance regalia are both sacred objects
and objects of cultural patrimony.
The Navajo medicine bundles and
dance regalia are used in current
traditional religious ceremonial
practice. These items are significant to
the Navajo people, and they are
considered both ‘‘sacred objects’’ and
‘‘objects of cultural patrimony’’ due to
their having ongoing historical,
traditional, and cultural importance
central to Navajo (Dine´) culture,
spirituality, and religion.
