SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural 

items under the control of Beloit 

College, Logan Museum of 

Anthropology, Beloit, WI, that meet the 

definition of unassociated funerary 

objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

Sometime between 1875 and 1889, 26 

cultural items were removed from San 

Nicolas Island in Ventura County, CA. 

The cultural items were removed by 

Reverend Stephen Bowers. Bowers 

made multiple collecting trips to San 

Nicolas Island, during which he 

removed thousands of cultural items. He 

later sold those items to museums and 

collectors. Between 1880 and 1881, 

Reverend Bowers owned two 

newspapers in Wisconsin, one in 

Clinton and one in Beloit, and they 

provide the context for his sale of 

cultural items to the Logan Museum. 

The 26 unassociated funerary objects are 

13 modified shells (965.01; 965.02; 

965.03; 965.04; 965.05; 965.06; 965.07; 

965.08; 965.09; 965.10; 965.11; 966.01; 

966.02), six unmodified shells (1008.01; 

1008.02; 1008.03; 1009.01; M.05.0085), 

two modified shells or bone (907), and 

five stone pestles (18204; 18205; 18206; 

18207; 18208). One pestle (18208) is 

currently missing from museum 

collections, but upon being located, it 

will be transferred with the other 

cultural items listed in this notice. 

Based on archeological information, a 

relationship of shared group identity 

may reasonably be traced between the 

following Indian Tribes and the people 

who occupied San Nicolas for at least 

10,000 years: La Jolla Band of Luiseno 

Indians, California [previously listed as 

La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the La Jolla Reservation]; Pala 

Band of Mission Indians [previously 

listed as Pala Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the Pala Reservation, 

California]; Pauma Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima 

Reservation, California; Pechanga Band 

of Luiseno Mission Indians of the 

Pechanga Reservation, California; 

Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of Rincon Reservation, 

California; Santa Ynez Band of 

Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 

Ynez Reservation, California; and the 

Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, 

California. Hereafter, these Indian 

Tribes are referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’ 

Determinations Made by Beloit College, 

Logan Museum of Anthropology 

Officials of Beloit College, Logan 

Museum of Anthropology have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 26 cultural items described above 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and The Tribes.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

In 1939, a large collection of items 

known as the Zimmerman collection 

was donated to History Nebraska. 

Among the items are the three sacred 

objects listed in this notice. Initially, 

this collection was loaned by Mary R. 

Zimmerman to History Nebraska in 

1934; it became a donation upon her 

death in 1939. From 1898 to 1928, Dr. 

Charles F. Zimmerman and his wife 

Mary ‘‘Mollie’’ Zimmerman operated a 

drug store in Naper, Nebraska. Mr. 

Zimmerman was also employed by the 

United States Government Indian 

Medical Service. Museum records 

indicate that Charles amassed a 

collection of Native American objects 

through purchases and gifts. The three 

sacred objects listed in this notice are 

one eagle feather hand fan (object id 

4364–278), one two-piece pipestone 

pipe [object id 4364–273–(1–2)], and 

one pair of beaded leggings [object id 

4364–276–(1–2)]. 

According to the Museum’s donation 

records, the three items came from High 

Eagle, and is presumed to be Joseph 

High Eagle, the Oglala Sioux warrior, 

medicine man, and cousin of Crazy 

Horse. On October 14, 2021, Lilla Pearl 

Asmund requested the repatriation of 

the three items. She presented 

information to show that the items are 

sacred objects and that they had been 

owned by her great-grandfather, Joseph 

High Eagle. During consultation 

between History Nebraska and the 

Oglala Sioux Tribe, the Tribe 

corroborated the information provided 

to the Museum by Lilla Pearl Asmund. 

Determinations Made by History 

Nebraska 

Officials of History Nebraska have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 

the three cultural items described above 

are specific ceremonial objects needed 

by traditional Native American religious 

leaders for the practice of traditional 

Native American religions by their 

present-day adherents; and 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3005(a)(5)(A) 

and 43 CFR 10.2(b)(1), Lilla Pearl 

Asmund is the direct lineal descendant 

of the individual who owned the sacred 

objects. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Trisha Nelson, History Nebraska, 1500 R 

Street, Lincoln, NE 68508–1651, 

telephone (402) 471–4760, email 

trisha.nelson@nebraska.gov, by 

February 9, 2022. After that date, if no 

additional claimants have come 

forward, transfer of control of the sacred 

objects to Lilla Pearl Asmund may 

proceed. 

History Nebraska is responsible for 

notifying Lilla Pearl Asmund and the 

Oglala Sioux Tribe [previously listed as 

Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge 

Reservation, South Dakota] that this 

notice has been published.
