    This item is part of the Victor A. Corbett Collection, gifted to 
the UND Alumni Association & Foundation (UNDAAF) circa February 1988. 
According to New York City-based appraisers consulted by UNDAAF in the 
1980s, most of these items are estimated to date from the 1890s through 
the 1950s with most acquired by Corbett in the 1940s and 50s and appear 
to be from tribes in what is now North Dakota and surrounding states.
    Victor A. Corbett, a dentist in Minot, ND, from 1931-1984, was 
reported to accept artifacts from Native Americans in the surrounding 
area, namely the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the residents of the 
nearby Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold Reservation, sometimes 
in lieu of payment for dental services. Documentation indicates he also 
collected objects related to Native American culture through various 
means, including purchasing and commissioning custom-made pieces. 
Additionally, research suggests that he would accept objects from 
patients as collateral for an outstanding bill for dental services 
rendered. Collection records do not provide any additional information 
regarding the objects' provenience or provenance.
    Included in this collection is a catlinite pipe bowl with an 
engraving of a Native American man wearing a headdress on the side. 
After a visit from tribal elders, the pipe was identified as belonging 
to a relative of Standing Buffalo.

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 Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake 
Traverse Reservation, South Dakota.

organization.

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the 
cultural item are considered a single request and not competing 
requests. The University of North Dakota and the UND Alumni Association 
& Foundation are responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the
