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 associated funerary object. 

The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the 

associated funerary object was made by 

the Gilcrease Museum professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

Muskogean Speaking Tribes that 

include the Seminole Tribe of Florida 

(previously listed as Seminole Tribe of 

Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations)); 

The Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw 

Nation of Oklahoma; The Muscogee 

(Creek) Nation; and The Seminole 

Nation of Oklahoma (hereafter referred 

to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the 

Associated Funerary Object 

In 1929, one associated funerary 

object was removed from the 

Moundville site in Greene County, AL, 

by William L. Holton, a curator of the 

Alabama Museum of Natural History, 

University of Alabama. Holton removed 

this item from a burial and traded this 

item with Dr. P.F. Titterington of St. 

Louis, Missouri in July 1930. Harry J. 

Lemley, a judge and prominent collector 

from Arkansas, acquired the item from 

Titterington between 1930 and 1955. 

Thomas Gilcrease purchased Harry J. 

Lemley’s entire collection, including 

this item, in 1955. Thomas Gilcrease 

transferred his collection to the City of 

Tulsa in 1955 and 1963–64, forming the 

Gilcrease Museum. The associated 

funerary object is a stone palette (catalog 

number 61.1872). 

This item and the site from which it 

was removed are culturally affiliated to 

the Muskogean Speaking Tribes that 

include the Seminole Tribe of Florida, 

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, The 

Chickasaw Nation, The Muscogee 

(Creek) Nation, and The Seminole 

Nation of Oklahoma. The Tribal 

communities in and around the site of 

Moundville have clear connections and 

continuities with Muskogean Speaking 

Tribes, as seen in the archeological and 

anthropological records, and in oral 

traditions. 

Determinations Made by the Gilcrease 

Museum 

Officials of the Gilcrease Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the one object described in this notice 

is 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. 

• 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 associated 

funerary object and 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 request transfer of control 

of this associated funerary object should 

submit a written request with

Tucker Drive, Tulsa, OK 74104,

requestors have come forward, transfer 

of control of the associated funerary 

object to The Tribes may proceed. 

The Gilcrease Museum is responsible 

for notifying The Tribes that this notice 

has been published.

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the 

associated funerary objects was made by 

the University of Nebraska State 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. 

History and Description of the 

Associated Funerary Objects 

In December of 1998, a box containing 

23 objects was discovered on the 

campus of the University of NebraskaLincoln. Nine of the objects were 

labeled ‘‘25DK2A.’’ UNSM determined 

that these items were funerary objects 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects 

removed in 1939 from site 25DK2A, a 

historic cemetery dating to A.D. 1780– 

1820, in Dakota County, NE, during 

excavations conducted under the 

direction of Stanley Bartos, Jr. All the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects under the control of UNSM that 

are clearly from site 25DK2A have been 

repatriated to the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

In 2017, the box containing the other 

14 objects was discovered at UNSM. 

Consultations conducted in 2017 and 

2022 with representatives of the Omaha 

Tribe of Nebraska resulted in the 

determination that these 14 items are 

funerary objects that either are 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects from 

site 25DK2A or are associated with the 

human remains and other associated 

funerary objects removed in 1940 from 

site 25DK10, a historic cemetery dating 

to A.D. 1780–1820, in Dakota County, 

NE, during excavations conducted 

under the direction of John Champe. All 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects under the control of 

UNSM that are clearly from site 25DK10 

have been repatriated to the Omaha 

Tribe of Nebraska. The 14 associated 

funerary objects are three lots of black 

glass beads, one lot of turquoise-blue 

glass beads, one lot of red wire-wrapped 

glass beads, four lots of mixed-color 

glass beads, one lot of white glass beads, 

one lot of black and white glass beads, 

one bone core of a bear claw, one bison 

bone rattle, and one brass crucifix 

pendant. 

In May of 2017, one pottery sherd was 

discovered in the UNSM collections in 

an envelope labelled ‘‘Nov. 3, ’40 

Stanton, Nebr. Emil Entenmann’s 

cornfield in fallow on the hill. Central 

ridge on way to cemetery near bead 

location found sherd.’’ Consultations 

conducted in 2017 and 2022 with 

representatives of the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska resulted in the determination 

that this item is a funerary object that is 

associated with the human remains and 

other associated funerary objects 

removed in 1940 from site 25ST0, a 

Native American burial from the 

historic period discovered in Emil 

Entenmann’s cornfield. All the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

under the control of UNSM that are 

clearly from site 25ST0 have been 

repatriated to the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. The associated funerary 

object is a small gray body sherd 

decorated with four parallel, incised 

lines. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Nebraska State Museum 

Officials of the University of Nebraska 

State Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 15 objects described in this notice 

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. 

• 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 associated 

funerary objects and the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these associated funerary objects
