Determinations
The Minnesota Historical Society has
determined that:
• The one unassociated funerary
object described in this notice is
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary objects have been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• The one sacred object described in
this notice is specific ceremonial objects
needed by a traditional Native American
religious leader for present-day
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 Prairie Island Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the authorized
representative identified in this notice
under 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 August 12, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Minnesota Historical Society must

and pipe case, and a dance hat. They
were collected in 1900 by Stewart Culin
in the Hoopa Valley. At the request of
the Wiyot Tribe the cultural items were
tested to determine whether they had
been treated with contaminants. Trace
amounts of bromine were found on the
pipe case. Its presence may be due to a
past pesticide application or may be due
to the once live animal’s exposure to
bromine in its natural environment.
There is no known presence of other
potentially hazardous substances.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
The Field Museum has determined

knowledge of a lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection

culturally affiliated with the Choctaw.

Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains described
in this notice.
Determinations
The LSUMNS has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 19 individuals of Native
