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 the Berkshire 

Museum, Pittsfield, MA, that meet the 

definition of objects of cultural 

patrimony 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 

In the mid-18th century, two cultural 

items were removed from Whahktukuk 

in Berkshire County, MA. According to 

museum documentation, both items 

were donated to the Berkshire Museum 

in 1958 by Allen Peck of Pittsfield. 

According to the donor, both items had 

been given to Israel Dickinson of 

Pittsfield (1736–1777), his great-great 

grandfather, by Sachem John Konkapot 

of Stockbridge (ca. 1690–1765), a 

significant leader in the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin. The 

two objects of cultural patrimony are 

one wampum pouch and one pair of 

moccasins. 

In consultation with the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin, the 

Berkshire Museum has determined that 

the date and provenience of the cultural 

items reasonably accord with the lives 

of both John Konkapot and Israel 

Dickinson. Consequently, the 

information in the possession of the 

Berkshire Museum shows that Sachem 

Konkapot was the caretaker of the 

pouch and moccasins prior to the 

donor’s great-great grandfather, Israel 

Dickinson, coming into possession of 

them. 

The wampum pouch has ongoing 

historical, traditional, or cultural 

importance central to the Native 

American group or culture itself, rather 

than property owned by an individual, 

and cannot be alienated, appropriated, 

or conveyed by an individual regardless 

of whether or not the individual is a 

member of the Indian Tribe. Written 

histories establish the wampum pouch 

as a continuing culturally significant 

artifact since at least the eighteenth 

century. In Stockbridge Past and 

Present, or, Records of an Old Mission 

Station, Hendrick Aupaumut, a wellknown 18th century Stockbridge 

Mohican historian and diplomat wrote, 

‘‘The Sachem is allowed to keep Mnoti, or peaceable bag, or bag of peace. . . 

In this bag they keep various Squau-thowon, or belts of wampum: Also strings; 

which belts and strings they used to 

establish peace and friendship with 

different nations, and to use them on 

many occasions, and passed as coin. In 

this bag they keep all belts and strings 

which they received of their allies of 

different nations.’’ Aupaumut added, 

‘‘Another, and important use of the 

Wampum was its substitution in the 

place of writing. The red bead signified 

blood, the black or dark colors had a 

severe meaning, while white denoted 

peace. Then ideas could be conveyed by 

various figures into which It was 

wrought, a red hatchet, for instance, 

readily suggesting the idea of war. Thus, 

not only the fact that a treaty had been 

made, but its terms could be kept in 

mind, and the various circumstances in 

the history of a nation could be 

recorded.’’ Accordingly, the wampum 

pouch is hereditary to the office of the 

Sachem, allowing the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin to 

establish treaties with other nations 

serving as a literal container of history 

and oral tradition. 

The pair of moccasins also satisfy 

NAGPRA’s definition of cultural 

patrimony. They are significant for 

having belonged to Stockbridge-Munsee 

Sachem John Konkapot. 

Determinations Made by the Berkshire 

Museum 

Officials of the Berkshire Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the two cultural items described above 

have ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group or culture itself, 

rather than property owned by an 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the cultural patrimony and the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin. 

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 

Jason Vivori, Berkshire Museum, 39 

South Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201, 

telephone (413) 443–7171 Ext. 341, 

email jvivori@berkshiremuseum.org, by 

February 9, 2022. After that date, if no 

additional claimants have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

objects of cultural patrimony to the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin may proceed. 

The Berkshire Museum is responsible 

for notifying the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin that this notice 

has been published.

Justice lodged a proposed stipulation 

and settlement agreement with the 

United States District Court for the 

Eastern District of New York in the 

lawsuit entitled United States of

and 2687, (‘‘TSCA’’) and the 

Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, 

40 CFR part 745, subpart E (‘‘RRP

The Stipulation and Settlement 

Agreement requires defendants to 

implement injunctive relief that
