SUMMARY: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The one sacred object is a wooden dance rattle created by Robert Collier (Burke Accn. 2097, Cat no. 8675). On April 2, 1925, Leslie Spier and E.G. Spier collected the rattle from Jamestown, Clallam County, WA. Recorded provenience information identifies Robert Collier as the creator of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 May 20, 2024 Jkt 262001 the rattle, identified as a Bird Rattle. According to information from the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, Robert Collier was born in the late 1870s and recorded on multiple census rolls as S’Klallam. He is descended from S’Klallam parents who lived in Jamestown, and Collier later lived with his family in Washington Harbor (sxwčkwı́y>). Collier was sought as a principal informant for Erna Gunther’s ethnography fieldwork in the mid1920s, resulting in the published work, Klallam Ethnography. Collier married twice (Abby Collier and Martha Dick Collier) and has descendants represented in the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Families: Hall, Sampson, Lombardi, Collier, Wheeler, Gentry, Adams, and Russell. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has identified this Bird Rattle as a sacred object that is still used in traditional ceremonial practices. The Bird Rattle was tested for pesticide contamination and the results indicated that there is likely hazardous substances present. The Burke Museum provided recommendations for safe handling. Determinations The Burke Museum has determined that: • The one sacred object described in this notice is a specific ceremonial object 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, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization. • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe.
