The University of Kansas has
determined that:
• The one unassociated funerary
object described in this notice is
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary object has been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural item described in
this notice and the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma.
A total of one cultural item has been
requested for repatriation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a silver
ring. The ring was taken from an
Arapaho man named Wox-Ei-Bet’, also
known as Walks-a-Bed, after having
been killed by an individual known
only as ‘‘K-’’in 1874 at Camp Supply,
Indian Country—present day Fort
Supply, Oklahoma. Wox-Ei-Bet’ had a
great-great-great-grandson who is related
to the Birdshead Family of the Southern
Arapaho in Oklahoma. The Birdshead
family has deferred to the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma on this
repatriation.
The ring was given to the Benedictine
College Museum in Atchison, KS by a
person identified as R. Kitching, likely
in the 1920s. Father Felix Nolte was the
curator of the Benedictine College

SUMMARY:

Jkt 265001
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. A single human
tooth was mailed to the Jicarilla Ranger
District of the Carson National Forest in
August 2002 by a private individual.
While hiking the individual
encountered what was initially thought
to be the bottom of a ceramic vessel near
a fallen log. The individual removed
soil around the ‘‘vessel’’ and found the
vessel was actually a human skull. The
individual explained the tooth was
removed so the Forest Service could
‘‘date’’ the site. Attempts to locate the
source of the tooth were unsuccessful.
Known archeological sites in the area of
the discovery are a mix of Ancestral
Puebloan Pueblo I and Early Navajo
sites. The Jicarilla Ranger District is
located in Rio Arriba County, NM.
