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 Trustees 

of Reservations, Boston, 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 

Sometime in the 1930s, 20 cultural 

objects were removed from the 

Stockbridge-Munsee Community in 

Wisconsin. Miss Mabel Choate, working 

through an agent, purchased these 

objects for display at the Mission House 

Museum in Stockbridge, MA. (The 

purchase also included one communion 

set, which was returned to the 

Stockbridge-Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin in 2005; a two-volume Bible, 

which was returned to the StockbridgeMunsee Community, Wisconsin in 

1989; and six heirlooms of Sachem John 

Wannuaucon Quinney and Sachem 

Austin Quinney, which were returned 

to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin in 2021.) In 1948, Miss 

Choate donated the Mission House and 

its contents, including these objects, to 

The Trustees of Reservations. 

The 20 objects of cultural patrimony 

are: One woven basket (MH.P.16/8525); 

one woven basket with handle 

(MH.P.16/8526); one woven basket with 

handle (MH.P.16/8529); one tiered 

hanging basket (MH.P.16/8539); one 

woven basket (MH.P.16/8542); one 

basket (MH.P.314); one basket 

(MH.P.323); one box with lid 

(MH.P.321); one wood bowl (MH.P.16/ 

8533); one wood bowl (MH.P.311); one 

food paddle (MH.P.16/8534); one food 

paddle (MH.P.310); one scoop 

(MH.P.308); one scoop with animal 

carving (MH.P.309); one Ziba T. Peters 

tobacco pipe (MH.P.313.1) and one pipe 

case (MH.P.313.2); one salt cellar 

(MH.P.16/8532); one kettle (MH.P.318); 

one conch shell (MH.C.Z.1); and one 

John Chickens powder horn 

(MH.2008.1). The John Chickens 

powder horn, conch shell, and scoop 

with animal carving date to the 18th 

century, while the remainder of the 

cultural objects listed in this notice date 

to the 19th century. 

In the 1730s, in Stockbridge, 

Massachusetts, the Stockbridge 

Mohicans (present-day Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin) 

accepted the Reverend John Sergeant as 

a Christian missionary. In 1785, the 

Stockbridge Mohicans began to be 

forcibly removed from Stockbridge. 

Subsequently, they endured multiple 

removals from the Northeast before 

finally arriving in Wisconsin. 

Cultural affiliation with the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community is 

established through records held in the 

archives of the Mission House. 

Consultation with representatives of the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community 

confirm that these objects have ongoing 

historical, traditional, and cultural 

importance central to the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin. 

Determinations Made by The Trustees 

of Reservations 

Officials of The Trustees of 

Reservations have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the 20 cultural objects 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 objects of 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 

Mark Wilson, Curator, The Trustees of 

Reservations, 1 Sergeant Street, P.O. Box 

792, Stockbridge, MA 01262 telephone 

(413) 298–3239 Ext. 3018, email 

mwilson@thetrustees.org, by March 25, 

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.
