1182 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices 

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.
