SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the 

Superintendent, TIMU, and additional 

information on the human remains in 

this notice, including the results of

Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

three individuals have been reasonably 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. Human remains 

were discovered eroding out of the 

Green Trail in Duval County, FL on June 

21st 2023. National Park Service 

archeologists opened a small excavation 

unit and additional human remains 

were discovered. Artifacts removed 

from the site were determined to be 

historic and not associated with the 

burials. The remains of the ancestors 

were collected and transferred to the 

Southeast Archeology Center (SEAC) in 

Tallahassee, FL to be housed. 

Determinations 

TIMU has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; 

Seminole Tribe of Florida; and The 

Seminole Nation of Oklahoma have 

priority for disposition of the human 

remains described in this notice. 

Claims for Disposition 

Written claims for disposition of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the appropriate official identified 

in this notice under ADDRESSES. If no 

claim for disposition is received by 

September 22, 2025, the human remains 

in this notice will become unclaimed 

human remains. Claims for disposition 

may be submitted by: 

1. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

they have priority for disposition. 

Disposition of the human remains in 

this notice may occur on or after 

October 21, 2024. If competing claims 

for disposition are received, TIMU must 

determine the most appropriate 

claimant prior to disposition. Requests 

for joint disposition of the human 

remains are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. TIMU is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the lineal descendants, Indian 

Tribes, and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice 

and to any other consulting parties.

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

intends to repatriate certain cultural 

items that meet the definition of sacred 

objects and that have a cultural 

affiliation with the Indian Tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations in this 

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the PMAE, and 

additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in the summary or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of eight lots of cultural items 

have been requested for repatriation. 

The eight lots of sacred objects are one 

lot of faunal remains, one lot of floral 

remains, one lot of small percussion 

instruments, one lot of obsidian knives, 

one lot of stone implements, one lot of 

fabric bags, one lot of iron dishes, and 

one lot of netting. Grace Nicholson 

purchased these sacred objects from Dr. 

Bob Fred Hogan, a known Tribal 

member of the Big Valley Band of Pomo 

Indians of the Big Valley Rancheria, 

California, in 1905–1906. Nicholson 

purchased these sacred objects on behalf 

of Lewis Hobart Farlow who donated 

them to the PMAE in 1906. The PMAE 

scanned sixty organic items from the Dr. 

Bob Fred Hogan collection with x-ray 

fluorescence (XRF) at the request of 

Tribal Chairman Flaman Craig 

McCloud, Jr. Results determined the 

presence of the following heavy metals: 

iron, lead, arsenic, and mercury. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The eight lots of sacred objects 

described in this notice are specific 

ceremonial objects needed by a 

traditional Native American religious 

leader for present-day adherents to 

practice traditional Native American 

religion, according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of a 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Big Valley Band of 

Pomo Indians of the Big Valley 

Rancheria, California. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by any 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice who shows, by 

a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after October 21, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the PMAE must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the cultural items are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The PMAE is
