VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:16 Nov 13, 2024 Jkt 265001 ACTION: Notice. In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), Ball State University (BSU) intends to repatriate a certain cultural item that meets the definition of an unassociated funerary object and that has a cultural affiliation with the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations in this notice. DATES: Repatriation of the cultural item in this notice may occur on or after December 16, 2024. ADDRESSES: Chyan Gilaspy, Ball State University, Applied Anthropology Laboratories, 2000 W Riverside Avenue, Muncie, IN 47306, telephone (765) 285– 5362, email NAGPRA@bsu.edu. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the National Park Service’s administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA. The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of BSU and additional information on the determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the summary or related records. 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 one unassociated funerary object is an effigy vessel or hooded water bottle (listed as animal-shaped vessel in BSU records). The item was donated to BSU by a private donor in 1953. Based on consultation, available documentation, and archaeological evidence pertaining to similar funerary objects, we conclude that this cultural item was likely removed from an ancestral Osage burial at an unrecorded date and location prior to 1953. There are no institutional records indicating the presence of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the cultural item. Determinations BSU has determined that: • The one unassociated funerary object described in this notice is reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. • There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and The Osage Nation.
