Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at

collected at the U.S. Indian Vocational 

School, Bernalillo County, NM. The 

human remains are hair clippings 

collected from two individuals who 

were recorded as being 17 years old, two 

individuals who were recorded as being 

16 years old, one individual who was 

recorded as being 15 years old, three 

individuals who were recorded as being 

14 years old, and one individual who 

was recorded as being 13 years old and 

identified as ‘‘Acoma.’’ Reuben Perry 

took the hair clippings at the U.S. 

Indian Vocational School between 1930 

and 1933. Perry sent the hair clippings 

to George Woodbury, who donated the 

hair clippings to the PMAE in 1935. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the available information 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the

remains described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of nine individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the human remains described 

in this notice and the Pueblo of Acoma, 

New Mexico.

Repatriation of the human remains in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after December 20, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the PMAE must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to
