History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

At some time prior to January 1968, 

one cultural item was removed from its 

location in Sandoval County, NM. The 

item was collected by private 

individual(s) without the permission or 

knowledge of the USDA Forest Service 

and donated anonymously to the 

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, 

University of New Mexico, 

Albuquerque, at some time prior to 

January 1968. The object was identified 

as a NAGPRA item in the winter of 

2013/2014 and the USDA Forest Service 

took possession of the object in the late 

spring of 2014. This object of cultural 

patrimony is comprised of prayer sticks 

held together by woven basketry. 

Consultations with representatives of 

the Hopi Tribe, Arizona; the Pueblo of 

Acoma, New Mexico; the Pueblo of 

Cochiti, New Mexico; the Pueblo of 

Isleta, New Mexico; the Pueblo of Jemez, 

New Mexico; the Pueblo of Laguna, New 

Mexico; the Pueblo of San Felipe, New 

Mexico; the Pueblo of Sandia, New 

Mexico; the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New 

Mexico; and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 

Reservation, New Mexico, indicated that 

this object of cultural patrimony is most 

closely affiliated with the Pueblo of San 

Felipe, New Mexico, and the Pueblo of 

Santa Ana, New Mexico. 

Determinations Made by the USDA 

Forest Service 

Officials of the USDA Forest Service 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one cultural item described above 

has 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 Pueblo of San Felipe, New 

Mexico, and the Pueblo of Santa Ana, 

New Mexico. 

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 

should submit a written request with

Coordinator, Southwestern Region, 

USDA Forest Service, 333 Broadway 

Blvd. SE., Albuquerque, NM 87102,

fwozniak@fs.fed.us, by January 21, 2015. 

After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the object of cultural 

patrimony to the Pueblo of San Felipe 

and the Pueblo of Santa Ana may 

proceed.
