pendants (1978.412.212), one amulet
(1979.206.518), one transformation
mask (2002.602.2a–d), and one mask
(1979.206.440). The latter mask was
obtained by Walter C. Waters in
Wrangell, AK, under unknown
conditions. Consultation with the
Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida
Indian Tribes indicate that these four
items were shamanic items and so likely
would have been placed at the shaman’s
gravesite. Museum records indicate that
the cultural items are from Alaska; with
the exceptions indicated, the Met has no
other geographical information about
the items.
Determinations
The Met has reasonably determined
that:
• The four unassociated funerary
objects described in this notice are
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 five objects of cultural
patrimony described in this notice have
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group, including any
constituent sub-group (such as a band,
clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or
other subdivision), according to the
Native American traditional knowledge
of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization, and furthermore, these
objects are reasonably identified as
being of such importance central to the
group that they cannot or could not be
alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by
any person, including their caretaker,
regardless of whether the person is a
member of the group, and they have
been considered inalienable by the
group at the time the object was
separated from the group.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Central Council of
the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes.
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 29, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Met 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 Met is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in
This Notice And To Any Other
Consulting Parties.
