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

information on the determinations in

Abstract of Information Available 

In 1963, associated funerary objects 

were removed from the Mound City 

Group, Ross County, OH during an 

excavation by the Ohio Historical 

Society under contract to the National 

Park Service (NPS). The associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

Federal property and were accessioned 

into the collections at Mound City 

Group National Monument (now 

Hopewell Culture National Historical 

Park). The funerary objects are 

associated with human remains that 

were included in a Notice of Inventory 

Completion published in the Federal 

Register on January 3, 2024 (89 FR 403) 

and most probably date to the Middle 

Woodland period. No known hazardous 

substances are present. The 22 

associated funerary objects are seven 

shell beads and 15 copper artifacts. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice. 

Determinations 

HOCU has determined that: 

• The 22 objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a connection between the 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Absentee-Shawnee 

Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; Eastern 

Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; and the 

Shawnee Tribe. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

associated funerary objects in this notice 

must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

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 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the associated 

funerary objects in this notice to a 

requestor may occur on or after 

November 21, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

HOCU must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the associated funerary 

objects are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. HOCU is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice.

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one lot of cultural items

hazardous substances used to treat the 

objects of cultural patrimony.

Bryn Mawr College has determined 

that: 

• The one lot of objects of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice have 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group, including any 

constituent sub-group (such as a band, 

clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or 

other subdivision), according to the 

Native American traditional knowledge 

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Delaware Nation, 

Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; 

and the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin.

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for
