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.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, three cultural
items were acquired and transported to
the east coast, where they remained part
of a private collection of Native
American antiquities, art, and cultural
heritage. In the spring of 2018, these
cultural items were seized by the FBI as
part of a criminal investigation. The
three cultural items seized in 2018 were
identified by the collector as ‘‘masks.’’
Following consultation, these cultural
items were determined to be culturally
affiliated with the Hopi Tribe of Arizona
and were identified as sacred objects.
The Hopi Tribe of Arizona resides in
northeastern Arizona. Its reservation
occupies portions of Coconino and
Navajo Counties, encompasses more
than 1.5 million acres, and contains 12
villages on First Mesa, Second Mesa,
and Third Mesa. The Hopi Sinom and
their ancestors, the Hisat Sinom, have
ancient ties to their Hopi Tutskwa
(Aboriginal Hopi Lands), which they
have occupied continuously for over
2,000 years. According to Hopi oral
tradition, since time immemorial, the
Hopi people have lived in Hopi
Tutskwa, maintaining their cultural
traditions and their ‘‘sacred covenant
with Maasaw, the ancient caretaker of
the earth, to live as peaceful and humble
farmers respectful of the land and its
resources.’’ This oral traditional
information is supported by the
archeological record, which places the
Hopi in this region for thousands of
years. Old Orabi (Third Mesa), for
example, is the oldest settlement with
standing ruins. It is identified as ‘‘one
of the oldest continuously inhabited
settlements on the North American
Continent dating back to A.D. 1100.’’
Determinations Made by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation
Officials of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation 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.
• 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 the Hopi

organization not identified in this notice

History and Description of the Remains
In the 1880s and 1890s, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual most likely were removed by
Dr. George Julius Engelmann from the
banks of Geneva Lake in Walworth
County, WI. Dr. Engelmann (1847–1903)
gave these remains to Dr. Silas Weir
Mitchell (1829–1914) of Philadelphia.
Mitchell’s son, Langdon Mitchell (1862–
1935), inherited the human remains.
Following his death, the human remains
went to Langdon’s wife, Marian Lea
Mitchell (1861–1944) who, in 1937,
gave them to the Library Company of
Philadelphia. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
These human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on the history of Dr. George Julius
Engelmann’s excavation of specific
Native American burial sites;
