SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the Maryland Center for History and 

Culture, Baltimore, MD. The human 

remains were removed from an 

unknown site in Nebraska. 

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 human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Maryland 

Center for History and Culture 

professional staff in consultation with a 

representative of the Pawnee Nation of 

Oklahoma, Elizabeth Blackowl, and 

archeologists Ronald Thomas and Tyler 

Bastian. 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown site in Nebraska. 

Subsequently, they entered the 

archeological collection of the Maryland 

Academy of Sciences. In 1975, the 

Maryland Academy of Sciences donated 

these human remains to the predecessor 

of the Maryland Center for History and 

Culture (the Maryland Historical 

Society) as part of a much larger 

collection of archeological artifacts. The 

accession ledger corresponding to these 

human remains reads, ‘‘Donated to Md. 

Hist. Soc. In box marked ‘Pawnee Bones 

from Nebraska.’ ’’ The fragmentary 

human remains are represented by 

crania, arm and leg bones, and belong to 

two adults and one juvenile. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Maryland 

Center for History and Culture 

Officials of the Maryland Center for 

History and Culture have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Pawnee Nation of 

Oklahoma. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit 

a written request with information in 

support of the request to Vivien Barnett, 

Curatorial & Collections Assistant, 

Maryland Center for History and 

Culture, 610 Park Avenue, Baltimore, 

MD 21201, telephone (410) 685–3750 

Ext. 332, email vbarnett@mdhistory.org, 

by May 23, 2022. After that date, if no 

additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to the Pawnee Nation of 

Oklahoma may proceed. 

The Maryland Center for History and 

Culture is responsible for notifying the 

Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma that this 

notice has been published. 

Dated: April 13, 2022.
