Description
In 1977, the Pick Museum purchased
10 false face protectors from the Cahokia
Mounds Museum Society, which had
purchased them from Iroqrafts, an
indigenous arts and crafts outlet located
on the Six Nations of the Grand River.
Pick Museum records indicate that the
maker was Hoˆwe’drangwus (‘‘He Keeps
Ice’’) from the Wolf Clan of the Cayuga
of the Six Nations of the Grand River,
based on the original Iroqrafts’ tags that
came with each protector. Nandell Hill,
the current owner of Iroqrafts, and
whose father was the owner of Iroqrafts
when the protectors were sold to
Cahokia, confirmed Hoˆwe’drangwus
(also known as Mark Sky) was a member
of the Wolf Clan of the Cayuga Nation
of the Six Nations of the Grand River,
and also stated she was a relation of
Hoˆwe’drangwus. Likewise, Miran Hill,
the Keeper of all wampum belts, funeral
remains, masks, and ceremonial items
for the Six Nations of the Grand River,
who knew Hoˆwe’drangwus, confirmed
he was from the Six Nations of the
Grand River. The 10 false face protectors
are sacred objects.
In 1981, the Pick Museum purchased
three false face masks from Desert
House Crafts in Tucson, Arizona. Pick
Museum records indicate the artist was
doChAn’dre (‘‘Breaking Daylight,’’ also
known as Gene Thomas), a member of
the Wolf Clan of the Onondaga of the
Six Nations of the Grand River. His
father, Hadaje’grenta (‘‘Flying Cloud,’’
also known as Jake Thomas) was a chief
and member of the Snipe Clan of the
Cayuga of the Six Nations of the Grand
River. Nandell Hill, the current owner of
Iroqrafts, provided the clan membership
and English names of doChAn’dre
(‘‘Breaking Daylight’’) and his father

Hadaje’grenta (‘‘Flying Cloud’’).
Likewise, Miran Hill, the Keeper of all
wampum belts, funeral remains, masks,
and ceremonial items for the Six
Nations of the Grand River, who knew
doChAn’dre (‘‘Breaking Daylight’’) and
his father Hadaje’grenta (‘‘Flying
Cloud’’), confirmed they were from the
Six Nations of the Grand River. The
three false face masks are sacred objects.
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: anthropological,
geographical, historical, oral traditional,
kinship, and expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the James B. and Rosalyn
L. Pick Museum of Anthropology at
Northern Illinois University has
determined that:
• The 13 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 Onondaga Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the Responsible
Official identified in ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be

evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated
Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after August 7, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
