The seven associated funerary objects are three pottery sherds and four stone tool fragments.

Additional information on the determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the summary or related records held by AWM. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description The one cultural item was removed from Moody County, SD. The item was discovered by AWM staff on April 12, 2018, while processing a large donation of Andy Warhol’s personal archive received from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. On May 16, 2018, it was identified as a Native American bundle, and on July 17, 2018, it was included in a summary. The bundle was inspected by two staff at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH), Gretchen Anderson, Head of the Section of Conservation, and Deborah Harding, Collection Manager in the Section of Anthropology. The bundle consists of a large adult eagle wrapped in an embroidered wool shawl, patterned silk, linen, and multiple layers of patterned cotton. Most of the fabrics used in the bundle had been previously worn. The outermost layers of the bundle are wrapped in plain cotton. Hand-stitched wool stroud and silk ribbons are wrapped around the eagle’s chest, silk ribbons are tied around its ankles, and a runtee shell is tied around its neck. The one bundle is an object of cultural patrimony. Fmt 4703 Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, AWM has determined that: • The one cultural item described above has 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 item and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. Requests for Repatriation Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
