Description
The three cultural items were
removed from Cattaraugus County, NY.
The three sacred objects and objects of
cultural patrimony are one False Face
and two turtle rattles. The False Face
(catalog no. 89/7195) and one of the
turtle rattles (catalog no. 89/7196) were
made by LeRoy Jimerson Sr., a Seneca
Nation leader and wood carver, and
given to the Robert S. Peabody Institute
of Archaeology by his son LeRoy
Jimerson Jr. in 1941. The second turtle
rattle (catalog no. 141/16327), almost
identical to the other, was collected by
B.F. Gorham of South Harwich, MA,
acquired by avocational archeologist
Howard Torrey, and bequeathed by him
to the Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology in 1952.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Matson
Museum of Anthropology professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Bear River Band
of the Rohnerville Rancheria, California;
Blue Lake Rancheria, California;
Klamath Tribes; and the Wiyot Tribe,
California (previously listed as Table
Bluff Reservation—Wiyot Tribe)
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In the early 20th century, human
remains representing, at minimum, 18
individuals were removed by collector
H. H. Stuart from Tuluwat Island and
other sites in what are today Humboldt
and Modoc Counties, CA. These human
remains were later purchased by Mr.
Howard K. Lucas of Eureka, CA, who
was once an employee of Penn State
University. Lucas, who began collecting
prehistoric items in 1902, purchased
some items from collectors such as
Stuart in the 1920s and 1930s. The
museum’s accession file does not
specify how and when the human
remains described in this notice were
acquired by Lucas or Stuart. Upon
Howard Lucas’s death, the Lucas
collection was transferred to his wife,
Mrs. Bertha H. Lucas. In 1978, Mrs.
Lucas donated the collection to Penn
State University, where it was cared for
by the Department of Anthropology. The
Matson Museum of Anthropology
accessioned the human remains upon
moving to its current location in 1987.
Only general geographic locations were
associated with the human remains,
apart from the human remains
designated PSU 27:150, which were
recorded as having been removed from
Tuluwat Island (formerly Gunther or
Indian Island). These human remains
belong to an adult female. The human
remains of the other 17 individuals
belong to 10 adult males (PSU 27.115;
PSU 27.116; PSU 27.117; PSU 27.118;
PSU 27.119; PSU 27.122; PSU 27.123;
PSU 27.124; PSU 27.126; and PSU
27.128); one young adult male (PSU
27.121 (2)); three adult females (PSU
27.120; PSU 27.127; PSU 27.129); one
young adult of indeterminate sex (PSU

27.156); one possible male of
indeterminate age (PSU 27.125); and
one cremated adult (PSU 27.158). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Matson
Museum of Anthropology, Penn State
University
Officials of the Matson Museum of
Anthropology, Penn State University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 18

the Native American human remains
were removed is the aboriginal land of
The Tribes.

from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Tribes.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
