Description
Two cultural items were removed
from Wayne County, MI. In 1882,
William Sansom Vaux bequeathed a
collection to the Academy of Natural
Sciences (ANS), and ANS accessioned
them on June 27, 1912. In 1961, ANS
loaned approximately 3,000 items to
Bryn Mawr College, including the two
objects listed in this notice. In 1997, the
ANS board voted to transfer control of
the items to Bryn Mawr College, and in
1998, it executed the paperwork. The
two objects of cultural patrimony are
two effigy pipes (70.45.5; 70.45.6).
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: geographical and
expert opinion.

Potawatomi, Michigan.
