determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the Gilcrease
Museum, 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

Abstract of Information Available
A total of 14 cultural items have been
requested for repatriation. The four
sacred objects are one lot of prayer
sticks, two shell necklaces, and one
sash. The 10 objects of cultural
patrimony are seven ceramic jars and
three katsinas. The prayer sticks, shell
necklaces, and katsinas were
anonymously donated to Gilcrease
Museum in 2005. Five of the jars were
collected by artist William R. Leigh,
whose heirs donated them to Gilcrease
Museum in 1963. R. Mack Bettis
donated one of the jars in 2005. Another
jar was acquired in 1945 by Carol
Rachlin, an anthropologist, who
donated her collection to Gilcrease in
2014.
Determinations
The Gilcrease Museum has
determined that:
• The four sacred objects described in
this notice are specific ceremonial
objects needed by a traditional Native
American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional
Native American religion, according to
the Native American traditional
knowledge of a lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• The 10 objects of cultural
patrimony described in this notice 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), according to the
Native American traditional knowledge
of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Pueblo of Acoma,
New Mexico.
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

a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.

requests for repatriation are received,
