SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate a 

cultural item under the control of the 

Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo, NY, 

that meets the definition of cultural 

patrimony under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American cultural item. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

In 1898, the Buffalo Historical Society 

(now known as The Buffalo History 

Museum), purchased a peace medal 

(commonly known as the Red Jacket 

Peace Medal) that was once owned by 

the Seneca chief and orator Red Jacket, 

a member of the Wolf Clan. The peace 

medal was presented to Red Jacket by 

President Washington in Philadelphia, 

in 1792, when representatives of the Six 

Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy had 

gathered, at President Washington’s 

request, to discuss future relationships 

between the United States and the Six 

Nations. Upon Red Jacket’s death, the 

medal passed to his nephew, James 

Johnson. When Johnson died, the medal 

passed to Ely S. Parker. Parker was the 

last Seneca to have possession of the 

medal. In 1898, the Society purchased 

the medal from Ely S. Parker’s widow, 

Minnie Parker. 

Based on consultation with the 

Seneca Nation of Indians, the Buffalo 

Historical Society has determined that, 

as the Red Jacket Peace Medal was 

gifted as a symbol of peace, friendship, 

and enduring relationship between the 

United States and the Seneca Nation, it 

is an object of cultural patrimony. 

Determinations Made by the Buffalo 

History Museum 

Officials of the Buffalo History 

Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one cultural item described above 

has ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group or culture itself, 

rather than property owned by an 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the object of cultural patrimony 

and the Seneca Nation of Indians 

(previously listed as Seneca Nation of 

New York). 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim this cultural item 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Walter Mayer, Sr. Director of Museum 

Collections, Buffalo History Museum, 1 

Museum Court, Buffalo, NY 14216, 

telephone (716) 873–9644 Ext. 402, 

email wmayer@buffalohistory.org, by 

March 11, 2021. After that date, if no 

additional claimants have come 

forward, transfer of control of the object 

of cultural patrimony to the Seneca 

Nation of Indians (previously listed as 

Seneca Nation of New York) may 

proceed. 

The Buffalo History Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Seneca 

Nation of Indians (previously listed as 

Seneca Nation of New York) that this 

notice has been published.
