Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 21, 2024 / Notices
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.

Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation,
South Dakota.

This village site and cemetery are
located in Mariposa County, near the
City of Mariposa, CA and were
excavated in 1963 and 1965 by
Columbia Junior College (CJC) students
and California Youth Authority wards
under the direction of Francis A.
Riddell (California Department of Parks
and Recreation) and Robert N. Davidson
(CJC). In 1996, the village was once
again excavated by Caltrans
archaeologists as part of a project to
widen State Route 39 and improve
drainage. The collection was curated at
California State University, Sacramento
until it was transferred to the California
Department of Parks and Recreation in
2013.
The age of this burial is estimated to
be between 1000 and 1500 A.D.
Linguistic evidence for the Miwok
occupation of the Sierra Nevada
indicates that they came into the area
from the Central Valley after the
beginning of the Late Horizon of
California prehistory, approximately
500 A.D. No lineal descendant has been
identified. Geographic affiliation is
consistent with the historically
documented Southern Sierra Miwuk.
The associated funerary objects are
consistent with the period when the site
would have been occupied by the
Southern Sierra Miwuk. The history of
the formation of California Indian
rancherias in the Central Valley and
Sierra Nevada foothill regions of
California reveal that descendants of the
historical Southern Sierra Miwuk were
ultimately dispersed to the federally
recognized Miwok rancherias.
