DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural 

Items: Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University, Cambridge, MA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 in the 

possession of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University, Cambridge, MA, that meet 

the definitions of ‘‘sacred objects’’ and 

‘‘objects 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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The four cultural items are a medicine 

chord and three buckskin caps. 

In 1912, the medicine cord was 

collected by Grace Nicholson from an 

unknown locality. It was donated to the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology by Lewis Farlow later that 

same year. It measures approximately 86 

cm and is made of a twisted leather 

thong with various leather fringes. The 

leather thong is tied with metal wraps 

at intervals of approximately 12 cm. An 

assemblage of items are attached to the 

bottom of the cord: a large stone 

projectile point; a small hide bundle 

tied with turquoise, coral, shell, and 

abalone beads; a black discoidal bead; a 

clear glass cylindrical bead; a ceramic 

bead; and a violet glass bead. 

Collector’s documentation describes 

this cultural item as White Mountain 

Apache. Consultation with the White 

Mountain Apache Tribe indicates that 

stylistic characteristics of this item are 

consistent with traditional White 

Mountain Apache forms. 

The first cap is made of two hide 

pieces sewn together with sinew. It has 

a twisted hide chin strap on the bottom. 

It measures approximately 12.5 cm x 19 

cm x 17.5 cm. There is a 2 cm high hide 

band which is folded over and sewn 

along the bottom of the cap. On the 

band are black zigzag designs with 

alternating black triangles. Two parallel 

black lines run along the circumference 

of the cap above the hide band. A crosslike design, formed with four black 

converging triangles is painted on the 

front center and back center of the cap. 

Numerous feathers are attached to the 

crown of the cap. There are four 

elements equally spaced along the top of 

the cap: a shell hoop with sinew 

wrapping above one of the painted 

crosses; a worked abalone shell above 

the other painted cross; one piece of 

obsidian with sinew wrapping; and one 

piece of quartz with sinew wrapping. 

The second cap is made of two pieces 

of hide sewn together with sinew. There 

is a hide chin strap on the bottom of the 

cap. The cap measures approximately 9 

cm x 17 cm x 19 cm. It has a band of 

green and blue beads across the bottom. 

There is a band of nine triangular linear 

designs which are composed of red 

triangles within black outlines above the 

band of beads. A cluster of 13 feathers 

are attached to the crown of the cap. 

The third cap is made of three pieces 

of hide sewn together with sinew. There 

is a twisted hide chin strap on the 

bottom. The cap measures 

approximately 12.5 cm x 13.5 cm x 17.5 

cm. There is a strip of red cloth trim 

along the bottom. Above the cloth is a 

row of yellow triangles with black 

outlines which extends across the 

circumference of the cap. Four black 

painted zigzag linear designs ascend 

from the spaces in-between the yellow 

triangles at intervals of every two or 

three triangles. These linear designs 

each branch out into five lines. Each 

line extends all the way to the crown of 

the cap and culminates in a black dot. 

There is a row of six holes below the 

center of the cap which runs across the 

circumference; this suggests that 

additional elements may have been 

present at some point. Ten holes on the 

crown of the cap indicate the presence 

of attachments which are currently 

absent. 

During the summer of 1922, the three 

buckskin caps were purchased by 

Samuel Guernsey from Babbitt’s Store in 

Flagstaff, AZ. Mr. Guernsey donated the 

first cap to the Peabody Museum in the 

same year it was purchased. In 1985, 

William Claflin bequeathed the second 

and third caps to the Peabody Museum. 

Museum documentation describes all 

three buckskin caps as ‘‘Western 

Apache.’’ William Claflin’s catalogue 

states that the two caps in his 

possession came from the ‘‘Trading Post 

on the Apache Reservation.’’ Museum 

accession files list the cap donated by 

Samuel Guernsey as having come from 

‘‘Cibicu Creek Trading Post.’’ Given that 

all three of the caps have similar 

provenience information and were 

purchased by Samuel Guernsey around 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
36742 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 141 / Friday, July 24, 2009 / Notices 

the same time, it is most likely that the 

Trading Post described by Claflin was 

the one at Cibecue Creek. Consultation 

with White Mountain Apache 

representatives indicates that Cibecue 

Creek, AZ, is within the traditional and 

historical territory of the White 

Mountain Apache Tribe. They also agree 

that stylistic characteristics of these 

three caps are consistent with 

traditional White Mountain Apache 

forms. 

Anthropological, historical, and oral 

historical evidence indicate that these 

four 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. In addition, these lines of 

evidence also support that these items 

have ongoing traditional and cultural 

importance central to the White 

Mountain Apache Tribe and could not 

have been alienated, appropriated, or 

conveyed by any individual tribal 

member at the time they were separated 

from the group. 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (3)(C), the four 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. 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology have also 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (3)(D), the four 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. Lastly, officials 

of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology 

and Ethnology have determined that, 

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 objects of cultural 

patrimony and the White Mountain 

Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache 

Reservation, Arizona. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the sacred objects/objects 

of cultural patrimony should contact 

Patricia Capone, Repatriation 

Coordinator, Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University, Cambridge, MA 02138, 

telephone (617) 496–3702, before 

August 24, 2009. Repatriation of the 

sacred objects/objects of cultural 

patrimony to the White Mountain 

Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache 

Reservation, Arizona may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology is responsible for notifying 

the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San 

Carlos Apache Reservation, Arizona; 

Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona; and 

Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp 

Verde Reservation, Arizona that this 

notice has been published.
