Society and there is some information 

showing that one third was retained by 

the University of California, Berkeley 

(UCB). The remaining third purportedly 

was retained by the Heye Museum of 

the American Indian, but according to 

Loud and Harrington (1924), ‘‘[t]he 

collection was divided between the 

University of California and the Nevada 

Historical Society.’’ Consequently, we 

believe that the collection was split in 

half between UCB and NHS. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Aboriginal Land 

The human remains in this notice 

were removed from known geographic 

locations. These locations are the 

aboriginal lands of one or more Indian 

Tribes. The following information was 

used to identify aboriginal land: a final 

judgment of the Indian Claims 

Commission or the United States Court 

of Claims. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes, the Nevada Historical 

Society has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 10 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• No relationship of shared group 

identity can be reasonably traced 

between the human remains and any 

Indian Tribe. 

• The human remains described in 

this notice were removed from the 

aboriginal land of the Lovelock Paiute 

Tribe of the Lovelock Indian Colony, 

Nevada.

One cultural item was removed from 

an unknown location. It was donated to 

the museum by an unknown person in 

March of 1972. The one sacred object is 

a black elbow pipe (DU ID# 5743). 

One cultural item was removed from 

the Republican River area, KS. At an 

unknown date, the item came into the 

possession of George E. Cuneo and was 

subsequently transferred to Fallis F. 

Rees. In 1967, Mr. Rees donated the 

item to the University of Denver 

Museum of Anthropology. The one 

unassociated funerary object is a stone 

pipe (DU ID#4120). 

Forty-seven cultural items were 

removed from Phillips County, KS. 

Museum records indicate that the 

cultural items were collected from a site 

identified as a possible cemetery in 

1965 by Mary Webster. The 47 

unassociated funerary objects are one lot 

of charcoal pieces (DU ID# KS-Temp 1), 

15 shells (DU ID# KS-Temp 2), one lot 

of fragments of non-human bones (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 3), six ceramic sherds (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 4), 20 stone flakes (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 5), one projectile point 

fragment (DU ID# KS-Temp 6), one 

projectile point (DU ID# KS-Temp 7), 

one stone knife (DU ID# KS-Temp 8), 

and one unmodified piece of wood (DU 

ID# KS-Temp 9). 

Fifty-eight cultural items were 

removed from Cheyenne County, NE. 

Museum records indicate the items were 

removed from a rock shelter site by R.E. 

Cape of Dalton, NE, and that human 

remains were present. At an unknown 

date, the cultural items were transferred 

to E.B. Renaud, founder of the museum. 

The 58 unassociated funerary objects are 

11 ceramic sherds (DU ID# NE I:12:4.1), 

38 stone flakes (DU ID# NE I:12:4.2), 

seven pieces of ground stone (DU ID# 

NE I:12:4.3), one stone needle fragment 

(DU ID# NE I:12:4.4), and one polishing 

stone (DU ID# NE I:12:4.5).

The cultural items in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual.
