SUMMARY: Description The one cultural item has the catalog number 1950.6447 and is described in Society documentation as both a War Club and a Prophet Stick belonging to Chief Spoon Decorah and was removed from Black River Falls, Jackson County, WI. The State Historical Society of Wisconsin purchased this item on December 3, 1913 for $20.00 from Dr. E:\FR\FM\22DEN1.SGM 22DEN1 88654 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Paul Radin, who reported collecting the item in Black River Falls, Wisconsin and indicated that it was formerly the property of Ho-Chunk/Winnebago Chief Spoon Decorah. The Decorah War Club/ Prophet Stick was purchased from Dr. Paul Radin at the same time as the Decorah War Bundle, which was repatriated by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin in 2012. The Decorah name has been spelled various ways throughout history, including DeCarrie, Dekorah, Decorah, Decora, DeKaury. The Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick is a curved wooden item with one ‘‘leg’’ longer than the other and a raised circular knob at the junction of these legs. The War Club/Prophet Stick has numerous carvings including a column of pictographs. There is a metal blade attached to the top of the Prophet Stick, which was added by former State Historical Society of Wisconsin Curator David Wooley. According to Christian Feest’s research of prophet sticks in ‘‘The Prophet Stick: Detective Stories from the Museum World’’ article in Journal Fu¨nf Kontinente, vol. 3, pp. 96–151, these prophet sticks were often physically part of bundles or cared for by war bundle caretakers and were clan-owned and inalienable to an individual. Cultural knowledge shared through consultation confirmed that these items were often part of bundles, which were clan-owned, and should be cared for by the current bundle keeper. The Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick is affiliated with the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago people, who are now the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Through consultation with the HoChunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, it was confirmed that the Decorah War Club/ Prophet Stick is an object of cultural patrimony inalienable from the HoChunk and Winnebago peoples and needs to be reunited with the Decorah War Bundle. Those involved in consultation determined that the Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick should be returned to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Cultural Affiliation The cultural item in this notice is 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:10 Dec 21, 2023 Jkt 262001 information were used to reasonably trace the relationship: anthropological information, folklore, geographical information, historical information, kinship, oral tradition, and expert opinion. Determinations Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin 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 items and the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 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 January 22, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation are received, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.

    The one cultural item has the catalog number 1950.6447 and is 
described in Society documentation as both a War Club and a Prophet

purchased this item on December 3, 1913 for $20.00 from Dr.

[[Page 88654]]

Paul Radin, who reported collecting the item in Black River Falls, 
Wisconsin and indicated that it was formerly the property of Ho-Chunk/
Winnebago Chief Spoon Decorah. The Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick was 
purchased from Dr. Paul Radin at the same time as the Decorah War 
Bundle, which was repatriated by the State Historical Society of 
Wisconsin to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin in 2012. The Decorah name 
has been spelled various ways throughout history, including DeCarrie, 
Dekorah, Decorah, Decora, DeKaury.
    The Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick is a curved wooden item with one 
``leg'' longer than the other and a raised circular knob at the 
junction of these legs. The War Club/Prophet Stick has numerous 
carvings including a column of pictographs. There is a metal blade 
attached to the top of the Prophet Stick, which was added by former 
State Historical Society of Wisconsin Curator David Wooley.
    According to Christian Feest's research of prophet sticks in ``The 
Prophet Stick: Detective Stories from the Museum World'' article in 
Journal F[uuml]nf Kontinente, vol. 3, pp. 96-151, these prophet sticks 
were often physically part of bundles or cared for by war bundle 
caretakers and were clan-owned and inalienable to an individual. 
Cultural knowledge shared through consultation confirmed that these 
items were often part of bundles, which were clan-owned, and should be 
cared for by the current bundle keeper. The Decorah War Club/Prophet 
Stick is affiliated with the Ho-Chunk/Winnebago people, who are now the 
Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
    Through consultation with the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 
Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, it was confirmed that the Decorah War 
Club/Prophet Stick is an object of cultural patrimony inalienable from 
the Ho-Chunk and Winnebago peoples and needs to be reunited with the 
Decorah War Bundle. Those involved in consultation determined that the 
Decorah War Club/Prophet Stick should be returned to the Ho-Chunk 
Nation of Wisconsin.

Cultural Affiliation

    The cultural item in this notice is 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 information, 
folklore, geographical information, historical information, kinship, 
oral tradition, and expert opinion.

Determinations

    Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after 
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin 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

of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

occur on or after January 22, 2024. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin 
must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
