SUMMARY:
Description
The three cultural items were gifted to
the Allegheny National Forest at an
unknown date for display in the
Bradford Ranger District office by a
contemporary artist enrolled with the
Seneca Nation of Indians and named on
an accompanying plaque. The cultural
items were displayed for an unknown
period of time and later removed from
display and placed in storage. This
occurred at an unknown time but prior
to 2018. The three items are carved
false-face masks. They were carved from
white pine and each one is
approximately one foot wide and two
feet in height.
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: other relevant
information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Allegheny National
Forest has determined that:
• The three cultural items described
above 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 Seneca Nation of Indians.
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 March 27, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Allegheny National Forest 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
Allegheny National Forest is responsible
for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
This notice was submitted before the
effective date of the revised regulations

removed from the region of Fort Ancient
archeological culture (the Upper Ohio
River drainage), including parts of the
current states of Ohio, Indiana, West
Virginia, and Kentucky.
The collection was donated to the
Susquehanna River Archaeological
Center (SRAC), Waverly, New York in
2012. The collection was subsequently
donated to SUNY Broome Community
College by SRAC to be used as a
teaching collection. Deb Twigg, the cofounder, and executive director of
SRAC, identified the human remains as
being a donation collected in the 20th
century in the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,
or West Virginia region. The collection,
which was referred to as the Les Rolfe/
Libold Collection, was reportedly
donated to SRAC by the family of
unidentified deceased collectors. No
provenience or location information was
provided with the collection, nor was
any notice included of any human
remains present in the collection. The
collection was received in 31 buckets
with slips of paper marked ‘‘Lee’’ or
‘‘Davis.’’
The collection includes, at minimum,
the human remains of two Ancestors, a
juvenile of undetermined sex, aged 7–10
years, based on dentition, and an adult
of undetermined sex. No known
individuals were identified. There are
13 teeth, one foot, and two hand
phalanges associated with the juvenile.
There are five teeth, a maxillary
fragment, one foot, and three hand
phalanges associated with the adult.
Identifications were made by
professional anthropologists at SUNY
Broome Community College and by a
professional osteologist at Binghamton
University.
The 3,514 associated funerary objects
are 949 pottery sherds and assorted
ceramics; 964 lithic tools, flakes, cores
and assorted stone; three unidentified
minerals; 683 freshwater bivalve shells;
six shell hoes with drilled holes; five
modified bones/shells; 19 turtle
carapaces/fragments; one elk cranium;
775 large and small mammal bones; 76
fish bones; nine bird bones; three pieces
of charcoal; 10 lots of carbonized maize
cobs, seeds, nuts and wood; one nut;
one piece of unidentified wood; three
pieces of glass; one metal buckle; two
broken metal spoons; one large metal
nail; one metal spike; and one
unidentified metal fragment.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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: anthropological
information, archeological information,
geographical information, biological
information, historical information, and
oral tradition.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, SUNY Broome
Community College has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 3,514 objects described in this
notice 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Forest County Potawatomi
Community, Wisconsin; Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan;
Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan;
Miami Tribe of Oklahoma; Prairie Band
Potawatomi Nation; Pokagon Band of
Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and
Indiana; Saginaw Chippewa Indian
Tribe of Michigan; and the Shawnee
Tribe.

human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in

may be submitted by:

2. 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 human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after March 27, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
