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

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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2022 / Notices 12203 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

In 1960, Cheekwood received on loan 

eight sacred objects and three objects of 

cultural patrimony. In 1972, Cheekwood 

formally accessioned these objects. The 

eight sacred objects are one t-type 

pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbonwrapped pipe stem attributed to 

Taoyate Duta (Chief Little Crow); one 

beaded, twisted and painted pipe stem; 

one beaded, velvet pipe bag; one eagle 

claw pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbonwrapped pipe stem; one war shield; and 

one whip handle. The three objects of 

cultural patrimony are one stone maul, 

one stone mace, and one bow with 

lightning design. 

Based on consultation with 

representatives of the Prairie Island 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota, Cheekwood has determined 

the identity of these 11 cultural items 

and their cultural affiliation with this 

Indian Tribe. 

Determinations Made by the 

Cheekwood Estate and Gardens 

Officials of the Cheekwood Estate and 

Gardens have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 

the eight 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. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the three 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 sacred objects and objects 

of cultural patrimony and the Prairie 

Island Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota. 

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 

Hannah Morgan, Cheekwood Estate and 

Gardens, 1200 Forrest Park Drive, 

Nashville, TN 37205, telephone (615) 

353–2160, email hmorgan@

cheekwood.org, by April 4, 2022. After 

that date, if no additional claimants 

have come forward, transfer of control 

of the sacred objects and objects of 

cultural patrimony to the Prairie Island 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota may proceed. 

The Cheekwood Estate and Gardens is 

responsible for notifying the Prairie 

Island Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota that this notice has been 

published.

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 Boston

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative

this notice are the sole responsibility of

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 prior to November 3, 1936, 

two cultural items were removed from 

an unknown location in Montana. These 

items (inventory numbers 1591 and 

1592) were collected or acquired by 

Charles Herbert Mitchell (1857–1936). 

In 1936, Mr. Mitchell’s family donated 

a portion of his collection, including 

these items, to Boston University. The 

two sacred objects/objects of cultural 

patrimony are two pipestone vessels. 

Based on information provided by the 

Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort 

Peck Indian Reservation, Montana 

during consultation and in the Tribe’s 

repatriation request, the institution has 

determined that the pipestone vessels 

are culturally affiliated with the 

Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort 

Peck Indian Reservation, Montana, and 

that they meet both the definition of 

sacred objects and the definition of 

objects of cultural patrimony. 

Determinations Made by Boston 

University 

Officials of Boston University have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 

the two 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

• 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 sacred objects and objects 

of cultural patrimony and the 

Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort 

Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
