Abstract of Information Available 

A total of 67 cultural items have been 

requested for repatriation. The 67 

objects of cultural patrimony/sacred 

objects were donated to the St. Joseph 

Museums by three collectors: Harry L. 

George, Carol Getty, and Mrs. L.T. 

Golding. Harry L. George was actively 

collecting Indigenous objects during the 

years of 1904–1922, mostly through 

purchasing from other dealers and 

occasionally through direct purchases 

from tribes when on personal trips. The 

Harry L. George Collection was donated 

to the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. in 1944. 

The sacred objects/objects of cultural 

patrimony from the Harry L. George 

collection include five necklaces, one 

pair of earrings, one otter skin case, 16 

weapons, one basket, three bags, five 

rattles, one wand, three bowls, two 

spoons, one knife, one needle, one item 

identified as a ‘‘shot maker’’, one pipe 

stem, one life stick, one buffalo hide 

quiver with arrows, six objects of 

applique or beaded work, one flute, one 

drum staff, one drum, two metal 

armbands, one metal badge, one scalp 

bag, two animal skulls, and one sacred 

bundle with one associated figure that 

was previously separated. The buffalo 

hide quiver has previously been treated 

with arsenic, as noted in written 

communication between Harry L. 

George and the original seller of the 

object. The Getty Collection was 

donated to the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. 

in 2018. The sacred objects/objects of 

cultural patrimony from the Getty 

Collection include one necklace, three 

baskets, and one basket lid. The Mrs. 

L.T. Golding collection was donated to 

the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. in 1953. 

The sacred object/object of cultural 

patrimony from the Golding collection 

is one cradleboard doll. 

Determinations 

The St. Joseph Museums, Inc. has 

determined that: 

• The 67 sacred objects/objects of 

cultural patrimony described in this 

notice are, according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of an 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization, specific ceremonial objects 

needed by a traditional Native American 

religious leader for present-day 

adherents to practice traditional Native 

American religion, and have ongoing 

historical, traditional, or cultural 

importance central to the Native 

American group, including any 

constituent sub-group (such as a band, 

clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or 

other subdivision). 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by any 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization not

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after February 18, 2025. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received,

items are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. The St. 

Joseph Museums, Inc. is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the
