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 

Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, 

Brown University, Bristol, RI, 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 1928, Rudolf F. Haffenreffer 

purchased a catlinite pipe bowl and 

wood pipe stem (78–45a, b) from 

William Everett Lincoln. The museum’s 

catalog card states that they had been 

‘‘collected by William Everett Lincoln 

from the Stockbridge Indians in 

Massachusetts prior to 1928.’’ Likewise, 

the museum’s catalog cards state that 

two additional catlinite pipe bowls (1/ 

396 and 1/397) purchased by 

Haffenreffer around the same time are to 

be attributed to the ‘‘Stockbridge 

Indians, Stockbridge Massachusetts.’’ 

In consultation with the Historic 

Preservation Manager of the 

Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican 

Indians, the above items were 

determined to be culturally affiliated 

with the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin. During 

consultation, the museum also 

determined that these pipes are still 

used in traditional ceremonies for 

medicinal and spiritual purposes. 

Additionally, the museum determined 

that the use of such pipes in diplomatic 

ceremonies denotes their symbolic 

value and continued historical and 

cultural importance for the StockbridgeMunsee Community, Wisconsin, and as 

such, that they are communally owned, 

i.e., they cannot be legally separated 

from the community by an individual. 

Determinations Made by the 

Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, 

Brown University 

Officials of the Haffenreffer Museum 

of Anthropology, Brown University 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the four 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 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

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 Bryn Mawr 

College, Bryn Mawr, PA, 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 

On an unknown date, two cultural 

items were removed from the Yazoo 

River region of Mississippi. William 

Sansom Vaux bequeathed a collection to 

the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) 

upon his death in 1882. That collection 

included the two cultural items. ANS 

accessioned them on June 27, 1912. In 

1961, ANS loaned approximately 3,000 

items to Bryn Mawr College, including 

the cultural items. In 1997, the ANS 

board voted to transfer control of the 

items to Bryn Mawr College and in 

1998, ANS executed the transfer. The 

two unassociated funerary objects are 

one effigy pipe and one bowl. 

Based on geographical and historical 

information provided by The Choctaw 

Nation of Oklahoma, the effigy pipe and 

bowl are culturally affiliated with The 

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The 

geographical and historical evidence 

includes the 1820 Treaty of Doak’s 

Stand, whereby The Choctaw Nation of 

Oklahoma ceded lands in the Yazoo 

River region to the United States. 

Determinations Made by Bryn Mawr 

College 

Officials of Bryn Mawr College have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the two 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 Choctaw Nation of 

Oklahoma.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items
