time by an unknown person or persons,
the human remains were brought to
UND. They were found in various
locations around UND’s campus and,
after non-invasive analysis by a forensic
anthropologist specializing in human
osteology, they were determined to be,
or possibly be, of Native American
ancestry and have been excavated from
undetermined archaeological sites. No
associated funerary objects are present.
UND has no record of any potentially
hazardous substances being used to treat
the human remains described.

Abstract of Information Available
A total of two cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The two
sacred objects are one pipe and an
associated pipe bag. Neither object has
been treated with potentially hazardous
substances to the best of the institutions’
knowledge.
These items were a part of the Victor
A. Corbett Collection, gifted to the UND
Alumni Association & Foundation
(UNDAAF) circa February 1988.
According to the New York City-based
appraisers consulted by the UNDAAF in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 Aug 20, 2024
Jkt 262001
the 1980s, most of these items were
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. Documents suggest 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 take 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 pipe
bag described by the appraiser as
‘‘Buckskin pipe bag . . . Quilled
panelling and leather fringe. Lazy-stitch
beading. Probably SIOUX; c.1890.
7x24.’’ The design is geometric; the
opening features a blue and black design
broken up at regular intervals by narrow
red lines. The top half is primarily plain
buckskin with a white, blue and red
symmetrical border on each side
punctuated by three double pointed
patterns at the bottom (red, blue, yellow,
blue, white). The middle section
features another symmetrical pattern
with four red, blue, and yellow squares
on the outside with two red and blue
diamond plus a smaller, connected
squares of the same color pattern
surrounding a solid green square in the
middle. These are placed on a white
background with blue stitching on the
side. The next portion is red fringe with
three symmetrical white, possibly gray,
and yellow squares across the middle.
The bag ends with buckskin fringe. The
accompanying ceremonial pipe is red
and described by the appraiser as ‘‘Pipe
and stem; plain cylindrical ash stem,
with carved red catlinite T bowl;
shallow diagonal oval cuts at one end of
the bowl. SIOUX. Overall length: 213⁄8.’’
After viewing and interpreting each, a
Dakota tribal elder and Mr. Timothy J.
Mentz, Sr., a member of the Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe, noted that these items
belonged to Chief Big Head (Pa Tanka),
a 19th century Upper Yanktonai leader.
Determinations
The University of North Dakota and
the UND Alumni Association &
Foundation have determined that:
PO 00000
Frm 00082
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• The two 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,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• Mr. Timothy J. Mentz, Sr. (Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South
Dakota) is connected to the cultural
items described in this notice.
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 September 20, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, the University of North Dakota
and the UND Alumni Association &
Foundation 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 University of
North Dakota and the UND Alumni
Association & Foundation are
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in
