ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University (PMAE)
intends to repatriate a certain cultural
item that meets the definition of an
unassociated funerary object and that
has a cultural affiliation with the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
in this notice. The cultural item was
removed from Hampden County, MA.
DATES: Repatriation of the cultural item
in this notice may occur on or after
November 24, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Patricia Capone, Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,
11 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the PMAE. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including
the results of consultation, can be found
in the summary or related records held
by the PMAE.
SUMMARY:
Description
The one cultural item was removed
from Hampden County, MA. The
cultural item was collected by Harry A.
Wright from a cemetery at the Long Hill
site in Springfield, Hampden County,
MA, between 1891 and 1896. Wright
donated the cultural item to the PMAE
in 1907. Wright removed the cultural
item from a grave containing the human
remains of at least 13 individuals.
Wright described the individuals as
embedded in a layer of dry sand and
surrounded by a layer of ‘‘charcoal,’’
which may have been a
misinterpretation of decayed woven
burial mats. The cultural item lay in the
layer of ‘‘charcoal’’ and was not
associated with any specific individual.
Descriptions of the burial indicate that

two metal spoons and European-made
buckles were also interred with the
individuals and a few Dutch ‘‘fairy
pipes,’’ flint flakes, and a stone axe laid
on and near the surface of the grave.
None of these items are in the
possession of the Peabody Museum. The
one unassociated funerary object is a
Colonoware cup.
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: archeological,
geographical, historical, kinship,
linguistic, and oral tradition.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the PMAE has
determined that:
• The one cultural item described
above is 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 is believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural item and the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
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.
Repatriation of the cultural item in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after November 24, 2023. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, the PMAE must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural item are
