DATES: Abstract of Information Available A total of one cultural item with two distinct pieces has been requested for repatriation. The object of cultural patrimony is a screen with two sections, both sections are made of wood and the culturally significant motifs of ravens are painted on them. The raven motif signals a clan house within the Tlingit community of Sitka Alaska. Because of the motif, we will refer to these two screens, which together form one object, as the Raven Screen throughout this notice. The Raven Screen was obtained by the Denver Art Museum’s curator of Native Arts, Mr. Frederick Douglas from Mr. Henry Moses in 1939 through intermediary George Emmons with the intention of exhibiting the screen at the San Francisco World’s Fair. Henry Moses was a fur trader living in Hoonah, Alaska who collected other items from this community as well. To our knowledge, Moses was not Indigenous, nor was he a member of a clan or moiety affiliated with these screens and thus would have had no right to possess or sell these items, which were normally passed down generationally within the community through systems of inheritance under Tlingit customary law. It is documented, through photography, that these screens were once positioned on a clan house in Sitka, Alaska and were important to the shared cultural heritage of the Tlingit community living there. As a matrilineal society, screens such as these should pass down to a nephew of the family’s matriarch. However, the heritage rights of Alaskan Native communities came into conflict with the Western legal system, which forced many families to relinquish their inherited rights of possession and lose E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1

Abstract of Information Available

    A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. 
The one unassociated funerary object is a ceramic vessel (Burke Cat. 
1965-4/1). The vessel was collected by W.L. Phillips in 1926 from the 
Gulf Coast, possibly in Mississippi. The vessel was eventually obtained 
by Floyd Baldwin who then donated it to the Burke Museum in 1965. 
Baldwin provided a note from W.L. Phillips that stated the vessel was 
from the ``Choctaw Indians'' and had been exposed due to a hurricane in 
1926, which eroded burial sites along river banks. Phillips provided 
one photograph of the burial site where he found the vessel, which 
included human remains. There is no information about whether Phillips 
collected any other burial material or human remains from this site. 
There is no documentation that indicates the vessel has been treated 
with hazardous substances; however, it has not been tested for 
hazardous contamination.

Determinations

    The Burke Museum 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 is 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 Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

Requests for Repatriation

    Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item 
in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified 
in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be

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 item in this notice to a requestor may 
occur on or after April 18, 2025. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the Burke Museum must determine the most 
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint 
repatriation of the cultural item are considered a single request and 
not competing requests. The Burke 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
