SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of 227 lots of cultural items
have been requested for repatriation.
The 227 unassociated funerary objects
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
are 56 lots of ceramic material, 15 lots
of faunal bone, 11 lots of shell material,
108 lots of flaked stone, 32 lots of
ground stone, four lots of organic
material, and one lot of metal cultural
items. In 1947, three field trips (March,
April, and May) were made by the
Archaeological Survey Association of
Southern California (ASA) to Moody
Springs (CA–LAn–83) through the
leadership of Howard Arden Edwards.
These field trips to Moody Springs were
made up of just Mr. Edwards and one
other person and were given a 1.S
accession number. The Southwest
Museum (1.S) collection consists of
cultural items collected in March of
1947. San Bernardino County Museum
(SBCM) also obtained a small group of
objects from Moody Springs, which was
given the catalog number SBCM–818
(CA–LAn–83). It is unclear why or how
SBCM–818 was disenfranchised from
the rest of the collection, though there
were many instances of collection
sharing between the Southwest Museum
(now part of the Autry Museum) and
SBCM during this period. No ancestors
are found in the collection SBCM
houses.
Determinations
The Autry Museum of the American
West and San Bernardino County
Museum has determined that:
• The 227 lots unassociated funerary
objects described above are reasonably
believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near individual
human remains, and are connected,
either at the time of death or later as part
of the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San
Manuel Nation (previously listed as San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians,
California).
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 December 26, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Autry Museum of the American
West and San Bernardino County
Museum 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 Autry Museum
of the American West and San
Bernardino County Museum is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in
this notice and to any other consulting
parties.

sole responsibility of the Penn Museum,
and additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including
the results of consultation, can be found

Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are a cranium of
one individual who was recorded as
probably female, aged 50 or older. Prior
to 1839, the human remains were
removed from a ‘‘Pegepscot’’ cemetery
near the Androscoggin River about 20
miles from Brunswick, Maine by an
unidentified person. The human
remains were subsequently obtained by
Bowdoin College, Medical School of
Maine. In 1839, the remains were
transferred to Samuel G. Morton and
were stored at the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia (ANSP). Dr.
Morton died in 1851, and in 1853, the
ANSP purchased his collection,
including these human remains. In
1966, Dr. Morton’s collection was
loaned to the Penn Museum, and in
1997, the collection was formally gifted
to the Penn Museum (PM#97–606–89).
There is no known presence of any
potentially hazardous substances.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains.

Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
two individuals have been identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present. These individuals were
removed by R.B. Aker at an unknown
time from an unknown archaeological
site in Platte County, Missouri. The only
information available about the removal
of these individuals is a label stating
they were ‘‘dug years ago by Aker’’ from
a ‘‘mound west of Parkville.’’ Aker
actively excavated in Buchanan and
Platte Counties, MO, and Parkville is
located in Platte County. Based on a
past pattern of practice, these
individuals were probably transferred to
William Bass while he was at the
University of Kansas and brought by
him to UTK when he began working
there in 1971.
Through Tribal consultation, these
individuals were identified as culturally
affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska and The Osage Nation, based
off the following types of information:
archaeological, geographical, historical,
linguistic, and oral traditional.
Some of the remains were ‘‘repaired’’
using an unknown glue, and some were
treated with an unknown preservative,
however, to our knowledge no
potentially hazardous substances were
used to treat the remains.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains described in this notice.
Determinations
UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska and
The Osage Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains in this notice must be
sent to the authorized representative
identified in this notice under
