Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available,

from one individual who was recorded 

as being 24 years old and one individual

and identified as ‘‘Mojave.’’ Samuel H. 

Gilliam took the hair clippings at the 

Sherman Institute between 1930 and 

1933. Gilliam sent the hair clippings to 

George Woodbury, who donated the hair 

clippings to the PMAE in 1935. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on the information available,

at the Fort Mohave Indian School,

as being 10 years old and identified as 

‘‘Mojave.’’ Timothy G. Mackey took the 

hair clippings at the Fort Mohave Indian 

School between 1930 and 1933. Mackey 

sent the hair clippings to George 

Woodbury, who donated the hair 

clippings to the PMAE in 1935. No
