clippings belonging to two individuals, 

identified with the tribal designations 

‘‘Delaware’’ and ‘‘Shawnee’’ (Field 

Museum catalog numbers 193208.3 and 

193213.3). 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 the individual’s 

name, sex, age, or geographic location 

has been found. No associated funerary 

objects are present.

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.

Amendment 

This notice amends the 

determinations published in a Notice of 

Intent to Repatriate in the Federal 

Register (88 FR 51345, August 3, 2023). 

Repatriation of the item in the original

Dakota was informed of the second 

request. Soon after, on August 28, 2023, 

the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of 

South Dakota rescinded their request in 

favor of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe 

of the Cheyenne River Reservation, 

South Dakota. 

Determinations (as Amended) 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, The Andy Warhol 

Museum determined that: 

• The one cultural item described 

above have ongoing historical, 

traditional, or cultural importance 

central to the Native American group or 

culture itself, rather than property 

owned by an individual.

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the cultural items in this 

notice and the Cheyenne River Sioux 

Tribe of the Cheyenne River 

Reservation, South Dakota.

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES.

descendant or a culturally affiliated 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after January 12, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

The Andy Warhol Museum must
