SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Washington,
DC, that meet the definition of sacred
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the

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

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, four cultural
items were removed from the Four
Corners region of the southwestern
United States transported to Indiana,
where they remained part of a private
collection. In April of 2014, these
cultural items were seized by the FBI as
part of a criminal investigation.
Through consultation with
representatives of the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado, the cultural
affiliation of these four items with the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado was
determined and the identification of the
items as sacred objects was established.
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s
‘‘original territory’’ and ancestral
homelands extended throughout the
Four Corners region. According to Ute
oral traditional knowledge, ‘‘the Utes
were created by Sinawav (the Creator)
and were placed in the mountains. The
Sinawav told the people they would be
few in number but, they would be
strong warriors, and protectors of their
lands. There is no migration story, we
were placed here in the mountains, we
have always been here, we will always
be here.’’
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 four cultural items described above
are specific sacred/ceremonial objects
needed by traditional Native American
religious leaders for the practice of
