Description

    The five cultural items were removed from Bay County, FL, in 1902 
and 1918 by Clarence B. Moore, during his excavations of a small sand 
mound at

[[Page 2644]]

Bear Point (By-5, now known as Strickland Point) and an unknown site in 
St. Andrews Bay. The four unassociated funerary objects are four 
potsherds (Catalog A55/Index 149; Catalog A56/Index 150). The one 
sacred object is a large shell dipper (Catalog A57/Index 151).
    On January 25, 1955, after receiving Congressional authorization, 
the Smithsonian Institution officially transferred one lot of 
``Archaeological Specimens (duplicate) (Educational study 
collections),'' to Colgate University's Sociology and Anthropology 
Professor John Longyear III, Curator of the LMA (previously the 
Anthropology Museum). The five cultural items from Bear Point Mound 
were accessioned into the LMA collection at this time.

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 information, 
geographical information, historical information, and expert opinion.

Determinations

    Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after 
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, the LMA has determined that:
     The four 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 one cultural item described above is a specific 
ceremonial object 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 and The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

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 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 items in this notice to a requestor 
may occur on or after February 15, 2024. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the LMA must determine the most appropriate 
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the 
cultural items are considered a single request and not competing 
requests. The LMA is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to 
the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this 
notice.
