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 

University of California, Berkeley, 

Berkeley, CA, that meet the definition of 

unassociated funerary objects and 

objects of cultural patrimony, 

respectively, 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 

Items 

In 1940 or 1941, one lot of beans was 

removed from Santa Clara Pueblo in Rio 

Arriba County, NM. At that time, George 

F. Carter collected the beans from 

representatives of the ‘‘East Delaware 

Indians of Okla.’’, a term used for the 

modern Delaware Tribe of Indians. The 

exact breed of bean is unknown. The 

one object of cultural patrimony is one 

vial of beans. 

In c. 1900, one hank of wampum was 

removed from an unknown location in 

Nebraska. It was collected by Frank B. 

Hutchens ‘‘from Indians who were being 

relocated by the government.’’ The 

items were made of shell, and the place 

of manufacture was recorded as New 

Jersey. The one object of cultural 

patrimony is a hank of wampum 

consisting of 27 strands of cylindrical 

shell beads. 

In 1904, 1,895 funerary objects were 

removed from the vicinity of Abbott 

Farm in Mercer County, NJ. These items 

were collected by Ernest Volk as part of 

his annual excavations in the area and 

sent to the University of California. The 

items collected were from funerary sites 

south of Trenton that stretch along 

Crosswicks Creek, from the Delaware 

River to Yardville, NJ. The 1,895 

unassociated funerary objects are: 842 

items described as ‘‘lithics and pottery’’; 

three sets of faunal remains; 62 items 

described as ‘‘hammerstones and 

flakes’’; 511 lithics; 21 items described 

as ‘‘lithics and mica’’; 27 items 

described as ‘‘lithics, pottery, and 

bone’’; 115 items described as ‘‘lithics, 

pottery, and charcoal’’; 93 items 

described as ‘‘lithics, pottery, antler, 

and pipe’’; 220 items described as 

‘‘lithics, pottery, bone, charcoal and 

botanical remains’’; and one piece of 

pottery. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of California, Berkeley 

Officials of the University of 

California, Berkeley have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 1,895 cultural items collected from 

New Jersey and 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(3)(D), 

the two cultural items collected from 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
30472 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 8, 2021 / Notices 

New Mexico and Nebraska and 

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 unassociated funerary 

objects and objects of cultural 

patrimony 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

History and Description of the Remains 

On March 30, 2009, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were recovered in 

association with looting activity at 

Ferdinand State Park in Dubois County, 

IN. Conservation officers were 

contacted, and the Indiana Department 

of Historic Preservation and 

Archaeology (DHPA) assigned 

accidental discovery number 2009019 to 

the looting area and associated 

materials. An archeologist from the 

Indiana Department of Natural 

Resources, Division of Forestry, was 

then contacted to assess the looting. 

Based on the archeologist’s assessment, 

no other information could be 

determined, and it appeared that the 

looters quickly deposited/discarded the 

material as they were retreating. In July 

2013, the human remains were 

transferred to the ISMHS.
