Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, four individuals were 

collected at an unknown location or 

locations. The human remains are hair 

clippings belonging to four individuals 

identified by the tribal designation 

‘‘Winnebago’’ (Field Museum catalog 

numbers 193210.9, 193212.7, 193212.8, 

and 193214.4). Field Museum staff 

believe they were collected under the 

direction of Franz Boas and Frederick 

Ward Putnam for the 1893 World’s 

Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The 

hair clippings were accessioned into the 

Field Museum’s collection in 1939. No 

information regarding any individual’s 

name, sex, age, or geographic origin has 

been found. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: historical. 

Determinations

remains of four individuals of Native
