The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The one object of cultural patrimony is a Kiowa calendar (winter counts) created by Chief Dohasan, chronicling events from winter 1832–33 to summer 1892 (catalog number 2–4933a–c). Hugh Lenox Scott obtained the calendar at Fort Sill on the Kiowa reservation prior to 1900. The calendar was sold to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology) as part of a large private collection from Hugh Lenox Scott in 1906. Documentation in the accession file and a museum publication on the calendar indicate the owner, ‘Dohasan, nephew of the well-known Kiowa chief, of the same name, said that the record had been kept in his family since his youth. The Chronicle was originally painted on hides which were renewed from time to time as they wore out from age and handling. The calendar given to Scott and included in the collections of the Lowie Museum since 1900, was on paper, executed with colored pencils by Dohasan, from the last hide record.’ 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. Determinations The University of California, Berkeley has determined that: • The one object of cultural patrimony described in this notice has 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. • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and the Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma.

The one object of cultural patrimony is a Kiowa calendar (winter

calendar was sold to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe A Hearst Museum of 
Anthropology) as part of a large private collection from Hugh Lenox 
Scott in 1906. Documentation in the accession file and a museum 
publication on the calendar indicate the owner, `Dohasan, nephew of the 
well-known Kiowa chief, of the same name, said that the record had been 
kept in his family since his youth. The Chronicle was originally 
painted on hides which were renewed from time to time as they wore out 
from age and handling. The calendar given to Scott and included in the 
collections of the Lowie Museum since 1900, was on paper, executed with 
colored pencils by Dohasan, from the last hide record.'
    Collections and collection spaces at the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of
