SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

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

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the Florida Department of State, 

Tallahassee, FL. The human remains 

were removed from an unknown 

location. 

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 human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the remains 

was made by the Florida Department of 

State professional staff in consultation 

with representatives of AlabamaCoushatta Tribe of Texas (previously 

listed as Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of 

Texas); Alabama-Quassarte Tribal 

Town; Kialegee Tribal Town; 

Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; Poarch 

Band of Creeks (previously listed as the 

Poarch Band of Creek Indians of 

Alabama); Seminole Tribe of Florida 

(previously listed as the Seminole Tribe 

of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)); The 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The Seminole 

Nation of Oklahoma; and Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town. Two non-federally 

recognized Indian groups, the Florida 

Tribe of Eastern Creek Indians and the 

Original Miccosukee Simanolee Nation 

of Aboriginal People were also 

consulted. 

History and Description of the Remains 

A braided lock of hair belonging to 

Osceola, an advisor to the principal 

chief of the Seminole and leader of 

Seminole resistance during the Second 

Seminole War (89M.041.004), in the 

collection of the Florida Department of 

State, was donated by one of the 

descendants of Dr. Frederick Weedon. 

Weedon, who was a medical doctor 

under contract to the Army, treated 

Osceola during his captivity at Ft. 

Marion and later at Ft. Moultrie (1837– 

1838). Before he died, Osceola had 

given a few personal effects to Dr. 

Weedon, but the braided lock of hair is 

presumed to have been taken after 

death. Osceola’s postcranial remains 

were buried at Ft. Moultrie in 1838; 

however, his head was retained by Dr. 

Weedon. It is believed that, later, the 

head was housed at the Surgical and 

Pathological Museum in New York City, 

and was lost in the fire that destroyed 

the museum in 1866. 

A lock of Osceola’s hair remained 

with the Weedon family from 1838 until 

its donation to the Florida Department 

of State in 1989. Taking a lock of a 

descendant’s hair for a keepsake was a 

popular western custom in the 1800s. 

The hair is in a braided plait that is 53⁄4′′ 

long, and consists of approximately 

seven strands of hair. Presumably, it had 

been plaited by a Weedon family 

member sometime after its acquisition.
