time) acquired these cultural items from
a descendent of Captain Stephens as a
private donation on 10/12/1975. These
items were accessioned to the FLMNH

Collection (Acc.# 75–81) within the
general ethnography collection then
incorporated into the Florida
Ethnographic Collections upon its
establishment. The six unassociated
funerary objects include the Seminole

FLMNH. The 23 sacred objects include
items used in traditional Seminole
ceremonies, which were also in the
possession of the Seminole warrior at
time of death.
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

consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the FLMNH has
determined that:
• The six cultural items described
above are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• The 23 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Description
Sometime prior to 1940, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a dry
bluff shelter in northwest Arkansas.
These human remains were purchased
by Ralph Foster and subsequently
donated to the Ralph Foster Museum at
College of the Ozarks. In 1990, the
human remains were transferred to the
Illinois State Museum. The four
associated funerary objects are two
twined garments or blankets, one lot of
plant remains, and one lot of sorted
burial matrix. Based on similar sites,
this interment might date to the Late
Woodland or Mississippian period (A.D.
500–1400).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a bluff
shelter in northwest Arkansas. In 1971,
these human remains were donated to
the Ralph Foster Museum at College of
the Ozarks, and in 1998, they were
transferred to the Illinois State Museum.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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: anthropological,
archeological, geographical, historical,
and oral traditional.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Illinois State Museum
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
