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 

Honolulu Museum of Art 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 that has control of the 

Native American cultural item. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

In the early 1920s, a totem pole was 

removed by John Barrymore from 

Tuxican in Alaska, on the west coast of 

Prince of Wales Island. In 1981, it was 

given to Honolulu Museum of Art by 

Vincent and Mary Grant Price, who had 

obtained it from the estate of Barrymore. 

The one object of cultural patrimony is 

a Henya Tlingit totem pole, circa 1900, 

redwood with traces of polychrome, 

height 243⁄4 ft. 

In a letter dated January 21, 2013, Don 

Nickerson, Jr. wrote to Stephan Jost of 

Honolulu Museum of Art requesting to 

consult on the object. As President of 

the Klawock Cooperative Association, 

the federally recognized IRA tribe of the 

Henya Tlingit people of Klawock, AK, 

Mr. Nickerson stated that one of their 

traditional villages was Tuxican, AK, on 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
76366 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 245 / Monday, December 22, 2014 / Notices 

the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. 

He further stated that this village was 

the location of numerous totem poles 

erected by their ancestors, most of 

which were mortuary poles dedicated to 

the memory of the deceased. Mr. 

Nickerson explained that according to 

information that they obtained, the pole 

was taken from the village site by the 

party of the actor John Barrymore who 

was traveling through the area by yacht. 

He explained that the village was not 

occupied at that time because residents 

had relocated to Klawock. In February 

2013, the Klawock Cooperative 

Association sent their representative, 

the anthropologist Dr. Steve J. Langdon, 

to visit Honolulu Museum of Art to 

examine and photograph the totem pole. 

Dr. Langdon published a report dated 

March 1, 2013, titled, Tuxican Photo 

Commentary Related to Tlingit Pole 

Located as the Honolulu Museum of Art. 

In it he stated that ‘‘Tlingit carver Jon 

Rowan, a descendant of Tuxican village 

residents now residing in Klawock, 

Alaska and myself consider the pole to 

be representative of Wuckitan clan 

crests of the Raven moiety. It was likely 

raised to commemorate the death of a 

wife of a high-ranking Tuxican chief of 

the Wolf moiety in the latter half of the 

19th century.’’ In a series of archival 

photographs Dr. Langdon identified the 

pole in the oldest known image of the 

entire village of Tuxican around the 

1880s. He identified the totem pole in 

association with the surrounding houses 

and other totem poles and gives 

approximate dates, thereby establishing 

the precise identity of the totem pole 

and substantiating the claim of the 

Klawock Cooperative Association. 

Determinations Made by the Honolulu 

Museum of Art 

Officials of the Honolulu Museum of 

Art have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one totem pole 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 Klawock Cooperative Association. 

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 

information in support of the claim to 

Stephan Jost, Director, Honolulu 

Museum of Art, 900 South Beretania St., 

Honolulu, HI 96814, telephone (808) 

532–8717, email sjost@

honolulumuseum, by January 21, 2015. 

After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the object of cultural 

patrimony to Klawock Cooperative 

Association may proceed. 

The Honolulu Museum of Art is 

responsible for notifying the Klawock 

Cooperative Association that this notice 

has been published.

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

In 1959, the University of Colorado 

Museum of Natural History acquired 

two Jemez Kachina masks through an 

exchange from the Denver Art Museum, 

which purchased the masks in 1948, 

from Nat Stern via Henriette Harris of 

Santa Fe, NM. The female mask, 

represented by catalog number 10353, is 

comprised of rawhide, paint, turkey 

feathers, cotton cord, and cotton cloth. 

The male mask, represented by catalog 

number 10354 is comprised of wood, 

leather, and paint. 

During consultation, the Pueblo of 

Jemez provided evidence in support of 

cultural affiliation. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Colorado Museum of Natural History 

Officials of the University of Colorado 

Museum of Natural History have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 

the two cultural items described above 

are specific ceremonial objects needed 

by traditional Native American religious 

leaders for the practice of traditional 

Native American religions by their 

present-day adherents. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the two cultural items 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 sacred objects and the 

Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico.
