DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural 

Items: American Museum of Natural 

History, New York, NY 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 in the 

possession of the American Museum of 

Natural History, New York, NY, that 

meet the definition of ‘‘cultural items’’ 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The 37 cultural items are 9 charms or 

ornaments, 5 caps, 1 painted buckskin, 

1 bow, 1 quiver, and 20 arrows. 

The first charm or ornament is a small 

wooden ring covered with buckskin 

cord. Attached to the ring is a separate 

thong of hide that is inserted into a ring 

of turquoise; the thong terminates with 

a feather which is secured with sinew. 

A leather pouch is attached to the string 

by a leather thong. The opening of the 

bag is decorated with a band of glass 

beads. The first row is dark blue, the 

second and third are clear, and the 

fourth and fifth rows are green. Another 

leather thong secures a small turquoise 

pendant to which is also attached a 

feather fragment secured to the thong 

with sinew. 

The second charm or ornament 

consists of eight strands of buckskin, 

four of which terminate with a red glass 

bead and a metal bead, and one of 

which terminates in a single red glass 

bead; the other three strands do not 

include beads. The strands are bound 

together by a band of beading that 

measures about 2 1/2 inches in width. 

The first inch of beading consists of 

alternating blue and white beads, and 

the remaining 1 1/2 inches having blue, 

red, white, and yellow beads. Above the 

beaded band is a hide knob to which is 

attached a shell (Olivella biplicata) and 

a small shell fragment. From the knob 

extend two long bird bone beads that are 

incised, one with a zigzag pattern and 

the other with hash marks. The two bird 

bone beads are topped with a red glass 

bead. A leather thong runs through all 

three beads and ends with two fringes. 

One fringe terminates in a red glass 

bead, and the other terminates in two 

red glass beads. 

The third charm or ornament consists 

of a single piece of flint that has been 

chipped into the form of a spearhead. 

Attached to the base is a piece of hide 

string. The fourth charm or ornament 

consists of a single piece of flint that has 

been chipped into the form of a 

spearhead. The fifth charm or ornament 

consists of a wooden ring wrapped in 

pieces of hide. Three hide strings, about 

7 inches in length, emanate from the 

ring and are tied together at the top. 

Inside the ring hangs a black and a 

white bead. From these two beads hang 

a small glass bead supported by a metal 

link. On the side of the ring are two 

pieces of haliotis in the form of 

pendants. A quill is attached with sinew 

to the smaller of the two pendants. A 

small tuft of dyed wool is also attached 

to this ring. 

The sixth charm or ornament consists 

of a hide string to which are attached 

nine blue glass beads, one banded piece 

of stone secured with hide and sinew, 

and a piece of shell that has been 

worked into the shape of a crescent and 

secured by sisal. The seventh charm or 

ornament consists of a silver cross 

attached to a crescent. The bottom of the 

crescent has three perforations with a 

cord of hide through the center 

perforation. In the center of the cross is 

a perforation through which a hide 

thread has been inserted. The thread 

holds a piece of turquoise and a piece 

of down that is attached with sinew. 

The eighth charm or ornament 

consists of four braided leather cords 

that measure about 20 inches in length. 

Attached to these cords are 11 eagle 

feathers, some of which have 

attachments. One feather has a blue 

glass bead; three feathers have each an 

Olivella biplicata shell; one feather has 

a white glass bead; one feather has a 

specimen of shell (possibly haliotis); 

one feather has a cowrie shell, dog 

canine, a black glass bead, and a white 

shell bead. The bottom of the charm has 

two flaps of hide in the shape of a 

trapezoid with a sheared border. The 

ninth charm or ornament consists of a 

large piece of hematite wrapped in 

buckskin. Pieces of the buckskin have 

been cut away to reveal the hematite. 

From the bottom of the bag hangs a 

cluster of quartz crystals, while the top 

of the bag features two leather thongs. 

The first cap is constructed of two 

pieces of hide sewn together with 

sinew. The hide appears to be painted 

with yellow pigment. The cap also has 

a hide chin strap. From the bottom of 

the cap hangs a fringe of green and 

white glass beads. At about 1/4 inch 

above the fringe is a border with a 

beaded rope design created with 

alternating green and white beads. The 

cap is divided in half by a second 

yellow and green beaded rope design 

that starts at the fringe and runs to the 

top of the cap and then down the other 

side. Incorporated into this border, on 

both sides, is a cross and crescent 

design. On one side the cross and 

crescent are green, and on the other side 

they are yellow. Both sides are tipped 

by blue beads. The cap also features two 

other cross and crescent designs. One is 

entirely white, but tipped with black 

beads; while the other is all black, but 

tipped with white beads. 

The second cap is constructed with 10 

separate panels of hide, in varying sizes, 

stitched together with sinew. The hide 

appears to have been painted with 

yellow pigment. At the bottom of the 

cap is one lone strip (about 3 inches) of 

blue and white beaded rope design. It is 

unclear whether this beading formed a 

continuous border at one time. The cap 

features four beaded cross and crescent 

designs. Each crescent is blue, but 

bordered by white beads. Each cross is 

yellow, but bordered by black beads. 

This cap also exhibits a scatter of red 

pigment splotches. Two threads 

protrude through the cap’s top, but there 

is no trace of what may have been 

attached to them. 

The third cap is constructed from two 

pieces of hide stitched together with 

sinew. The hide appears to have been 

treated with yellow pigment. The edge 

of the cap exhibits a rope design made 

of alternating black and white glass 

beads. Another line of black and white 

beads runs vertically from the border up 

to the top and down the other side, 

dividing the cap in half. This vertical

10070 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 44 / Monday, March 9, 2009 / Notices 

border is intersected by horizontal 

beading that creates a black and white 

crescent. Above the crescent, a metal 

(possibly silver) tack has been attached. 

In each half of the cap, a beaded cross 

and crescent are separated by a metal 

tack. One of the crescents is black 

bordered by white beads and paired 

with a black cross. On the opposite side 

is a beaded white cross paired with a 

white crescent bordered by black beads. 

The top of the cap shows a leather 

thong, but nothing is attached to it. 

There is no sign as to what may have 

been attached to it. The cap has a chin 

strap of hide to which is attached a 

small beaded pouch. The bottom of the 

pouch is decorated by a cross of black 

beads bordered by white beads. The rim 

of the pouch is bordered by white and 

green beads, and held closed by sisal 

and hide rope. 

The fourth cap is constructed from 

two pieces of tanned hide painted 

yellow and stitched together with 

sinew. The lower portion of the cap 

features a rope design border that is 

made of alternating blue and white 

beads. From this border four separate 

strands of beads continue to the top of 

the cap and down the other side, 

dividing the cap into quadrants. Two 

strands are black and yellow, and the 

others are white and blue. Onto each 

circle is attached a hammered silver 

ornament that is secured with hide. 

Between each ornament is a horseshoe 

shaped design of blue beads banded by 

yellow, inside of which are zigzag 

designs which seem to be ground 

crystals. The cap has a chin strap of 

leather. Surmounting the cap are 14 

eagle feathers and pieces of down. The 

feathers are encircled with a rope design 

made of alternating black and white 

beads. 

The fifth cap is constructed from two 

pieces of hide stitched together with 

sinew. The hide appears to have been 

painted with yellow pigment. The lower 

edge of the cap has a border of white 

and green glass beads. The cap exhibits 

four cross and crescent designs. The 

crescents were created with a green and 

white rope design, and the cross was 

created with green beads that are 

bordered by white beads. The cap is 

surmounted by five eagle feathers (three 

of which are fragmentary). 

The painted buckskin consists of a 

single piece of hide that has five 

separate painted designs. The first 

design includes a blue disc from which 

project two blue crescents on each side. 

The disc is crowned with four yellow 

triangles. Secured to the disc’s center is 

a hide string with an attached quill. 

Extending from the body of the disc is 

a painted zigzag line of alternating black 

and yellow lines. Twelve blue crescents 

extend from each bend of the zigzag. At 

the beginning of the zigzag, just below 

the disc, is a yellow silk folded ribbon 

that has a ‘‘pendant’’ of haliotis shell, a 

feather fragment and a quill wrapped in 

sinew attached to it. In the center of the 

zigzag is another cord of hide to which 

is attached a quill. The zigzag lines 

terminate in a blue or black disc from 

which emanate the remnant of a quill 

and a perforated pendant of haliotis that 

is secured with sinew onto a hide string. 

The second design consists of an 

anthropomorphic figure with raised 

hands. This figure appears to be wearing 

a gaan headdress. Secured to the figure’s 

neck is a yellow silk ribbon that has a 

haliotis pendant and a piece of feather. 

On either side of the yellow ribbon are 

pieces of blue ribbon. Although only 

fragments of the blue ribbon remain, it 

appears that the blue and yellow 

ribbons were sewn in such a way as to 

create the pattern of a cross. The body 

of the figure consists of zigzag lines. On 

the chest the lines run in a horizontal 

direction, while below the waist, the 

zigzag lines are vertical. Almost the 

entire length of the body is bordered by 

blue/black triangles. The figure appears 

to be standing on a platform. From 

under the platform extend two yellow 

and black zigzag lines, each of which 

terminates with a short horizontal line 

consisting of four triangles. Underneath 

these triangles is a fairly large hole; it is 

unclear whether this is an attachment 

site or damage. The third design 

includes a small blue disc from which 

emanate two crescents on either side. To 

the center of the disc has been attached 

a pendant of haliotis, quill and feather. 

From the disc extend alternating yellow 

and black zigzag lines which connect to 

a larger disc. These lines are interrupted 

just above the second disc by a platform 

of blue triangles facing downward. The 

zigzag lines continue from the platform 

to create a border around the disc. The 

disc periphery is created by black/blue 

triangles, and terminating on the point 

of each triangle is a knob. The disc is 

divided into four quadrants that are 

created by zigzag lines that run 

vertically and horizontally. A yellow 

semi-circle with a black border appears 

in each quadrant. To the center of the 

disc are attached a yellow ribbon that 

runs vertically and a blue ribbon that 

runs horizontally. Through the center of 

the ribbon are attached a haliotis shell, 

feather and quill. The zigzag lines 

continue downward through the center 

bottom of the disc, where they are 

interrupted by a platform of black 

triangles that face upward. From the 

platform, the zigzag lines continue 

almost to the bottom of the hide where 

they run into a disc that is similar to the 

one at the top of the design. Attached to 

the bottom disc are the remnants of a 

feather and quill. Just below the large 

center disc is a pair of yellow discs on 

either side of the zigzag lines and 

surrounded by a black border of inward 

pointing black triangles. Emanating 

from the center of the disc to the left are 

a haliotis shell, feather and quill. A 

similar disc, on the right, has a thong 

which holds only a quill and feather. 

The fourth design is an 

anthropomorphic figure embellished 

with alternating yellow and black 

chevrons. The fifth design includes an 

irregularly shaped disc from which 

emanate two other discs, one on either 

side, that are bordered by spiraling 

crescents. Attached to the center of each 

disc are a feather and a quill supported 

by sinew. The main body of the design 

is a stalk-like figure, the top of which is 

formed by an arc of yellow triangles that 

point upward. The stalk-like body is 

painted with diagonal bands of black 

and yellow. Near the top of the stalk is 

attached a quill that dangles from a 

thong. Slightly below it is a yellow and 

blue silk ribbon that has a haliotis shell, 

feather, and quill attached to it. From 

either side of the stalk emanate blue 

crescents at regular intervals. To the 

center of the stalk is secured a dark blue 

silk ribbon upon which is attached the 

remnants of a feather supported by 

sinew. The stalk terminates in a disc 

that is formed by a black border from 

which emanate three black crescents, 

and has at its center the remnant of a 

feather. 

The one quiver is highly adorned and 

consists of tanned hide lashed with hide 

string onto a wooden spine that is 

painted red. The top and bottom of the 

quiver are embellished with two bands 

of jingles. The top row is distinguished 

from the bottom row in that the jingles 

are suspended from rows of leather 

triangles painted black. The jingles are 

attached in pairs. Both ends of the 

quiver exhibit a painted border. The 

upper border is painted with a red band. 

Over the red band lies a row of leather 

triangles painted black. The bottom 

border is painted with a black band; red 

painted triangles emanate from this 

band and point upward. Below the top 

red border is a separate design which 

consists of a row of half yellow and half 

green diamonds. The diamonds are 

between two rows of triangles; the top 

row is red and the bottom row is yellow. 

Below these rows is a painted disc with 

an outer border that consists of yellow 

triangles. The inner border of the disc is 

composed of green triangles that face

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 44 / Monday, March 9, 2009 / Notices 10071 

inward. Below the disc are two bands of 

painted hide, each of which is bordered 

with red and black lines. In between 

these borders are diamond shaped cutouts exposing red cotton cloth. Below 

the second border is another painted 

design that appears to be a jagged line 

with alternating yellow and white 

chevrons. Attached to the line are green 

crescents. Just below this is another 

border of red/yellow triangles encasing 

green/yellow diamonds. 

The one bow consists of a piece of 

wood, and a bow string made of sinew. 

Three quarters of the bow’s interior has 

been painted red. At the end of the bow, 

there is a secondary piece of hide. 

The 20 arrows are made of reed. The 

fletching of each consists of portions of 

what appear to be three different types 

of feathers. Each arrow has the same 

three feather types and each feather is 

attached by sinew; this sinew also 

attaches a piece of down. Three quarters 

down the shaft is inserted a solid piece 

of wood that is attached with sinew. 

That sinew has a black or blue painted 

band. At the end are attached arrow 

points of quartz. The wood appears to 

have been treated with a substance – 

perhaps pitch or sap. Eight arrows are 

painted on the shaft end with a band of 

black/brown followed by an unpainted 

band and then a band of red; four 

arrows exhibit the same pattern 

described above except the black/brown 

is green; and six arrows are painted at 

the shaft end with a wide swatch of red 

with four narrow black bands. 

In 1910, the cultural items were 

acquired by Dr. Pliny E. Goddard on a 

museum-funded expedition and the 

museum accessioned the items later that 

same year. The cultural affiliation of the 

cultural items is White Mountain 

Apache, as indicated by museum 

records and by consultation evidence 

presented by the Western Apache 

Working Group, which consists of the 

authorized NAGPRA representatives 

from the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the 

San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto 

Apache Tribe of Arizona; White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona; and 

Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp 

Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. 

Officials of the American Museum of 

Natural History have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, the 37 

cultural items meet the definition of 

cultural items and are subject to 

repatriation under NAGPRA. Officials of 

the American Museum of Natural 

History also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is 

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the cultural items and the White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the cultural items should 

contact Nell Murphy, Director of 

Cultural Resources, American Museum 

of Natural History, Central Park West at 

79th Street, New York, NY 10024, 

telephone (212) 769–5837, before April 

8, 2009. Repatriation of the cultural 

items to the White Mountain Apache 

Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, 

Arizona may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward. 

The American Museum of Natural 

History is responsible for notifying the 

San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San 

Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto 

Apache Tribe of Arizona; White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona; and 

Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp 

Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona that 

this notice has been published.
