The BLM also received seven other comments which were not valid protests. The BLM Director resolved all protests.

The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. SUMMARY: Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The sacred object and object of cultural patrimony is a Kyôiñ (war shield) estimated to have been created in 1792 by Black PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74983 Horse (catalog number 2–4866a,b and formerly named Satanta’s Shield). Black Horse passed guardianship of the Kyôiñ to his son Sét:t’áiñ:dè, who passed guardianship of the Kyôiñ to his son Grey Goose between 1872 and 1874. US Cavalry Captain Hugh Lenox Scott obtained the Kyôiñ from Grey Goose in 1894, purportedly through Grey Goose’s will. Phoebe Apperson Hearst purchased the Kyôiñ along with 200 other Plains Indian objects from Hugh Knox in 1901. Kiowa people know the Kyôiñ to be the temporary residence of a spirit, and while cared for by individual caretakers entrusted by the Kyôiñ, as a spirit it cannot be individually owned. The Kyôiñ has held a vital ceremonial and protective role in the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma since its creation. Since 2000, the Kyôiñ has been on loan from the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology to the U.S Army Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum in Oklahoma to ensure its continued access by Kiowa people and inclusion in ceremony and cultural practice. Collections and collection spaces at the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology were treated with substances for preservation and pest control, some potentially hazardous. No records have been found to date at the Museum to indicate whether or not chemicals or natural substances were used prior to 1960. No chemicals are recorded to have been applied while on loan to the U.S. Army Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum. Determinations The University of California, Berkeley has determined that: • The one sacred object/object of cultural patrimony described in this notice is, according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization, a specific ceremonial object needed by a traditional Native American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional Native American religion, and 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). • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and the Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma. Requests for Repatriation Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item in this notice must be sent to the authorized E:\FR\FM\13SEN1.SGM 13SEN1
