SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. In an unknown year,

The AMNH acquired the remains of this
individual in 1917 as a gift from Walter
Hildburgh and accessioned them that
same year. No associated funerary
objects are present. The following types
of information were used to determine
affiliation: archeological, biological,
geographical, historical, and oral
history.
While it no longer does so, in the past,
the Museum applied potentially
hazardous pesticides to items in the
collections. Museum records do not list
specific objects treated or which of
several chemicals used were applied to
a particular item. Therefore, those
handling this material should follow the
advice of industrial hygienists or
medical personnel with specialized
training in occupational health or with
potentially hazardous substances.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The AMNH has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and the
Oneida Indian Nation.

Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains in this notice must be

this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after April 19, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
