Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The item is 

described in WHS’ documentation as a 

‘‘Chilkat blanket, 44′′ x 24′′, plus fringe. 

Yellow, black, blue and white design. 

Native dyes. Made at Klukwan, Alaska. 

Mountain goat wool.’’ Through 

consultation, the design on the blanket 

has been identified as one owned by the 

Tlingit. This blanket was donated to 

WHS by Mrs. P.A. Strommen of Aniwa, 

Wisconsin. Mrs. Strommen indicated in 

correspondence that the blanket was 

‘‘made by the [Chilkoot] Indians at 

Klukwan, Alaska.’’ WHS has no record 

of this blanket being treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances in the 

past. The one sacred item and object of 

cultural patrimony is one blanket. 

Determinations 

The Wisconsin Historical Society has 

determined that: 

• The one object described in this 

notice is, according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of an 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization, specific ceremonial objects 

needed by a traditional Native American 

religious leader for present-day 

adherents to practice traditional Native 

American religion, and has 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). 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Central Council of 

the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in 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 item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 14, 2024. If 

competing requests for repatriation are 

received, the Wisconsin Historical 

Society must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the cultural item are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The Wisconsin 

Historical Society is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice 

and to any other consulting parties.
