SUMMARY:
Description
One cultural item was removed from
Feature 171, Burial 4 of the Marina site
(47As24) in Ashland County, WI. In
1975, an excavation was directed by

Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Robert J. Salzer under an agreement
between Beloit College and the
Interagency Archeological Services
branch of the National Park Service. The
one unassociated funerary object is
wooden plank (7302.6).
La Pointe is the traditional home of
the Lake Superior Ojibwa. Burial 4 dates
to circa 1760–1770 and the assemblage
is consistent with Ojibwa burials of the
Late Historic period (1760–1820). The
associated human remains are not in the
possession or control of a Federal
agency or museum because all human
remains excavated from the site were
transferred in 1976 from Beloit College
to the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin.
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,
archeological, geographical, historical,
and oral tradition.
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 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
Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indians of 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,

Description
The five cultural items are one Wolf
Helmet (catalog number NA8507), one
Shark Helmet (29–1–1), one Ganook Hat
(NA6864), one Noble Killer Hat
(NA11741), and one Eagle Hat
(NA11742). The Wolf Helmet is a sacred

cultural patrimony; and the Ganook Hat,
Noble Killer Hat, and Eagle Hat are both
sacred objects and objects of cultural
patrimony. The five cultural items were
purchased in Sitka, AK, by Louis
Shotridge, a Tlingit curator employed by
the Penn Museum to conduct research
and make museum collections. In 1918,
Louis Shotridge purchased the Wolf
Helmet (NA8507) as part of a collection
of five objects referred to as the ‘‘Eagle’s
Nest House Collection,’’ for $40.00. In
1925, Louis Shotridge purchased the
Ganook Hat (NA6864) for $450.00 from
a Tlingit individual, Augustus Bean
(Ke.t-xut’.tc), a housemaster of one of
the three Wolf Houses of the
Kaagwaantaan Clan of Sitka, AK. In
1926, Louis Shotridge purchased the
Noble Killer (or Noble Killerwhale) Hat
(NA11741) and the Eagle Hat (NA11742)
from a Tlingit individual, Augustus
Bean (Ke.t-xut’.tc), a housemaster for
one of the three Wolf Houses of the
Kaagwaantaan Clan of Sitka, AK. These
two hats, together with a third hat, were
acquired by Louis Shotridge for $800.00.
In 1929, Louis Shotridge purchased the
Shark Helmet (29–1–1) for $350.00 from
a Tlingit individual of the
Kaagwaantaan clan.
Cultural Affiliation

Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Penn Museum has
determined that:
• One of the cultural items described

needed by traditional Native American
religious leaders for the practice of
traditional Native American religions by
their present-day adherents.
• One of the cultural items 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.
• Three of the 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
and have 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 Sitka Tribe of Alaska.
