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 a 

cultural item under the control of the 

Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, OK, that 

meets the definition of an object of 

cultural patrimony 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 Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

In 1958, one cultural item was 

removed from McAlester, OK. In 1958, 

Thomas Gilcrease acquired the item 

from Louie LeFlore, great-granddaughter 

of Chief Greenwood LeFlore, whose 

family had held it since the 1830 Treaty 

of Dancing Rabbit Creek. In 1963–1964, 

Gilcrease transferred his collection to 

the City of Tulsa, including this item. 

The one object of cultural patrimony is 

a limestone figural pipe. 

This pipe was used in a traditional 

ceremony as a sign of peace at one of the 

most defining moments in Choctaw 

History, the signing of the Dancing 

Rabbit Creek Treaty. That Treaty 

ushered in the removal of the Choctaw 

people from their aboriginal land over a 

70-year period. The pipe has ongoing 

historical importance for the creation of 

The Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. 

While it may have been in the 

stewardship of one family, it is 

communally owned by The Choctaw 

Nation of Oklahoma. 

Determinations Made by the Gilcrease 

Museum 

Officials of the Gilcrease Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one cultural item 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 object of cultural patrimony 

and The Choctaw 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 claim this cultural item 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Laura Bryant, Gilcrease Museum, 800 S 

Tucker Drive, Tulsa, OK 74104, 

telephone (918) 596–2747, email laurabryant@utulsa.edu, by June 17, 2022. 

After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the object of cultural 

patrimony to The Choctaw Nation of 

Oklahoma may proceed. 

The Gilcrease Museum is responsible 

for notifying The Choctaw Nation of 

Oklahoma 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 the Walsh 

Gallery, Seton Hall University, South 

Orange, NJ, that meet the definition of 

unassociated funerary objects 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

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 in the 1950s, 70 cultural 

items were removed from Aakawaxung 

Munahanung (Island Protected from the 

Wind), an archeological site in 

Richmond County, NY. Staff at the 

Walsh Gallery believe the items were 

initially collected by an amateur 

archeologist. They were either collected 

by Brian Templeton or transferred to his 

care sometime before June of 1961. 

Seton Hall University purchased the 

unassociated funerary objects from 

Brian Templeton in 1961. In 2015, care 

of the University’s archeological 

collection was transferred to the Walsh 

Gallery. The 70 unassociated funerary 

objects are one brass buckle, one 

triangular point, one side notched point, 

one corner notched point, one lobate 

point, one blank for a triangular notched 

point, three leaf shaped points, one 

shell, two jasper knives, one end 

scraper, one pebble chopper, one pebble 

hammerstone, one inner core of whelk, 

and 54 pottery fragments. 

Determinations Made by the Walsh 

Gallery, Seton Hall University 

Officials of the Walsh Gallery, Seton 

Hall University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 70 cultural items described above 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and the Delaware Nation, 

Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; 

and the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

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

objects to The Tribes may proceed.

The Tribes that this notice has been
