SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains under
the control of the Ohio History Connection, Columbus, OH. The human
remains were removed from an unknown location in Northern Montana.
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 human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Ohio
History Connection professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation of Montana.
History and Description of the Remains
On or before January 14, 1921, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed from an unknown location in
Northern Montana by Dr. L.D. Frescoln of Philadelphia. On January 20,
1921, Dr. Frescoln donated the human remains to the Ohio Archaeological
and Historical Society (now known as the Ohio History Connection). The
human remains belong to an individual of unknown age and sex. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation and correspondence from Dr. Frescoln to
Professor Mills, Curator of the Museum of Archaeology at the Ohio
Archaeological and Historical Society at the time, identify the human
remains as those of an individual from the ``Piegan Tribe of Blackfeet,
obtained from a tree burial in Northern Montana.''
Determinations Made by the Ohio History Connection
Officials of the Ohio History Connection have determined that:
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of
Native American ancestry.
<bullet> 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 human remains and the Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation of Montana.
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 these human remains should submit a
written request with information in support of the request to Nekole
Alligood, NAGPRA Specialist, Ohio History Connection, 800 East 17th
Avenue, Columbus, OH 43211, telephone (405) 933-7643, email
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8ee0efe2e2e7e9e1e1eacee1e6e7e1e6e7fdfae1fcf7a0e1fce9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c4aaa5a8a8ada3ababa084abacadabacadb7b0abb6bdeaabb6a3">[email protected]</span></a>, by August 5, 2021. After that date, if no
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to the Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation of Montana may proceed.
The Ohio History Connection is responsible for notifying the
Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation of Montana that
this notice has been published.
