Description

    In the 1950s or early 1960s, three cultural items were removed from 
Hardeman, Fayette, or Shelby County, TN. Two of the items have ``Lucy 
Hatchie, Tennessee'' written on their undersides, giving the impression 
that they were removed from somewhere along the Loosahatchie River, 
which runs through Hardeman, Fayette, and Shelby Counties. The third 
item has ``Millington, Tennessee'' written on its underside, giving the 
impression that it was removed from Millington in Shelby County, TN. It 
is believed that Ralph Foster donated these three items as they are 
similar to other items he donated at the time. The three objects of 
cultural patrimony are one pottery possum effigy bowl, one pottery 
stirrup bottle, and one pottery turtle effigy.

Cultural Affiliation

    The cultural items in this notice are connected to one or more

Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were 
used to reasonably trace the relationship: geographical and historical.

Determinations

    Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after 
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, the Ralph Foster Museum has determined that:
     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.
     There is a relationship of shared group identity that can 
be reasonably traced between the cultural items and The Chickasaw 
Nation.
