DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

an Associated Funerary Object From

Park County, MT in the Possession of

the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody,

WY

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and an associated funerary

object in the possession of the Buffalo

Bill Historical Center, Cody, WY.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Buffalo Bill

Historical Center professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Crow Tribe of Montana.

In 1974, human remains representing

one individual were removed from the

Fricker Ranch by Federal Bureau of

Investigation personnel following

notification by the Park County Coroner

that human remains had been

discovered. In 1974, these human

remains were donated to Buffalo Bill

Historical Center by Mr. and Mrs.

Eugene Gardner of the Fricker Ranch.

No known individuals were identified.

The associated funerary object is a

nickel pendant with a date of 1835.

Based on posterior cradle

deformation, shovel incisors, and dental

wear patterns, this individual has been

identified as Native American,

specifically from the Northern Plains.

Based on the date of the pendant, this

burial is estimated to date to circa the

mid-nineteenth century. Historical

documents indicate that Park County

was well within the Crow territory of

the nineteenth century.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Buffalo Bill

Historical Center have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of one individual

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Buffalo Bill Historical Center have

also determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the one object listed

above is reasonably believed to have

been placed with or near individual

human remains at the time of death or

later as part of the death rite or

ceremony. Lastly, officials of the Buffalo

Bill Historical Center have determined

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2),

there is a relationship of shared group

identity which can be reasonably traced

between these Native American human

remains and associated funerary object

and the Crow Tribe of Montana.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Crow Tribe of Montana, the

Blackfoot Tribe of the Blackfoot Indian

Reservation, and the Shoshone Tribe of

the Wind River Reservation.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Emma I. Hansen, Curator,

Buffalo Bill Historical Center, 720

Sheridan Avenue, Cody, WY 82414;

telephone: (307) 587–4771, before

December 18, 1997. Repatriation of the

human remains and associated funerary

objects to the Crow Tribe of Montana

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: November 5, 1997.

Francis P. McManamon,

Departmental Consulting Archeologist,

Manager, Archeology and Ethnography

Program.
