determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in the summary or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of four cultural items have 

been requested for repatriation. The four 

objects of cultural patrimony are four 

woven satchels/bags collected by Dr. 

Mark Raymond Harrington from the 

‘‘Osage Tribe, Oklahoma’’ in 1908 or 

1909 and accessioned by the PMAE in 

1909. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The four objects of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice 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), according to the 

Native American traditional knowledge 

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and The Osage Nation. 

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 

identified in this notice who shows, by 

a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

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, 

the PMAE must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the cultural items are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The PMAE is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice and to any other consulting 

parties.

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The one 

sacred object is an akua hulu manu 

(feathered god image) of Kekuaokalani 

from Hawai‘i. The akua hulu manu is 

associated with Kekuaokalani, a chief 

and the nephew of Kamehameha I, who 

died in battle at Kuamo‘o in 1819. 

Sometime between 1819 and 1833, 

Reverend William Richards acquired the 

akua hulu manu and donated it to the 

Andover Theological Society. Alfred M. 

Tozzer acquired the akua hulu manu 

from the Andover Theological Society 

and donated it to the PMAE in 1937. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The one sacred object described in 

this notice is a specific ceremonial 

object needed by a traditional Native 

American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional 

Native American religion, according to 

the Native American traditional 

knowledge of a lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• A known lineal descendant (name 

withheld per request) is connected to 

the cultural item described in this 

notice.

Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 94

located in Lancaster County, 

Pennsylvania. The 156 associated 

funerary objects are four awls; two axes; 

one lot of bark; 34 lots of beads; one 

blade; eight lots of bones; one lot of 

brass; one burial stone; two celts; nine 

lots of ceramics; six ceramic sherds; 15 

lots of ceramic vessels; one lot of 

charcoal; two chisels; one comb; two 

lots of disc ornaments; one lot of flints 

and chert; two lots of iron fragments; 

one knife; one lot of miscellaneous pit 

materials; two musket balls; five lots of 

necklaces; one needle; eight lots of

ceramic vessel is currently missing from

1963 and 1965, Dr. Jacob Gruber from 

the Department of Anthropology at 

Temple University excavated the Site 

and removed human remains and 

associated funerary objects. In 1968, the 

individuals and funerary objects were 

accessioned by Temple University.

individuals were cleaned and, in some 

instances, reconstructed with glue.

record of the presence of any potentially 

hazardous substances, if any, were used 

for cleaning.
