SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703

Abstract of Information Available
A total of 11 cultural items have been
requested for repatriation. The seven
sacred objects consist of catlinite pipe
bowls and pipe stems. The four objects
of cultural patrimony include a pair of
gauntlet gloves, a jacket, a quiver, and
a bow case.
Each of the 11 cultural objects in this
notice are part of the Joseph Allen
Skinner Museum collection, which was
donated to the Trustees of Mount
Holyoke College by Skinner after his
death in 1946. Like many of the objects
in the Skinner collection, there is no
extant provenance information and it is
unclear when these objects were
acquired, though pictures show the
display of these objects by Skinner as
early as 1934.
Catlinite pipes are pipes made of
catlinite, a type of mudstone that can
only be found in parts of southwest
Minnesota, southeastern South Dakota,
and northwest Iowa, adjacent to the site
of Pipestone National Monument.
Catlinite has been used to make
ceremonial pipes important to the
religious practices of Indigenous
peoples of the Great Plains for over
3,000 years. These sacred pipes have
been used in prayer and religious
ceremonies by the Flandreau Santee
Sioux Tribe and possess deep spiritual
significance.
The quiver and bow case, jacket, and
gauntlet gloves in the Skinner Museum
collection are imbued with ongoing
historical, traditional, and/or cultural
importance to the Flandreau Santee
Sioux Tribe. The quiver and bow case
are decorated with the spiritually
significant practice of quillwork, the
jacket is embroidered with beadwork
using culturally significant colors and
designs, and the gauntlet gloves possess
floral beadwork that is particularly
connected to the history and geography
of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe.
Based on the above definitions and a
general knowledge of these objects
possessing both ceremonial, spiritual,
and cultural significance, the claim for
repatriation to the Flandreau Santee
Sioux Tribe of South Dakota will be
honored.
Determinations
The Mount Holyoke College Art
Museum has determined that:
• The seven sacred objects described
in this notice are specific ceremonial
objects needed by a traditional Native
American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional
Native American religion, according to
the Native American traditional
knowledge of a lineal descendant,
