History and Description of the Cultural Items

    In 1960, Cheekwood received on loan eight sacred objects and three 
objects of cultural patrimony. In 1972, Cheekwood formally accessioned 
these objects. The eight sacred objects are one t-type pipestone pipe 
bowl; one ribbon-wrapped pipe stem attributed to Taoyate Duta (Chief 
Little Crow); one beaded, twisted and painted pipe stem; one beaded, 
velvet pipe bag; one eagle claw pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbon-wrapped 
pipe stem; one war shield; and one whip handle. The three objects of 
cultural patrimony are one stone maul, one stone mace, and one bow with 
lightning design.
    Based on consultation with representatives of the Prairie Island 
Indian Community in the State of Minnesota, Cheekwood has determined 
the identity of these 11 cultural items and their cultural affiliation 
with this Indian Tribe.

Determinations Made by the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens

    Officials of the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the eight 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.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the three 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 sacred 
objects and objects of cultural patrimony and the Prairie Island Indian 
Community in the State of Minnesota.

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

email [email protected], by April 4, 2022. After that date, if no 
additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the 
sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony to the Prairie Island 
Indian Community in the State of Minnesota may proceed.
    The Cheekwood Estate and Gardens is responsible for notifying the 
Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota that this 
notice has been published.
