SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25

control of the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, Nashville, TN, that meet
the definition of either sacred objects or objects of cultural

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
[[Page 12203]]
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural Items
In 1960, Cheekwood received on loan eight sacred objects and three
objects of cultural patrimony. In 1972, Cheekwood formally accessioned
these objects. The eight sacred objects are one t-type pipestone pipe
bowl; one ribbon-wrapped pipe stem attributed to Taoyate Duta (Chief
Little Crow); one beaded, twisted and painted pipe stem; one beaded,
velvet pipe bag; one eagle claw pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbon-wrapped
pipe stem; one war shield; and one whip handle. The three objects of
cultural patrimony are one stone maul, one stone mace, and one bow with
lightning design.
Based on consultation with representatives of the Prairie Island
Indian Community in the State of Minnesota, Cheekwood has determined
the identity of these 11 cultural items and their cultural affiliation
with this Indian Tribe.
Determinations Made by the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens
Officials of the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens have determined that:
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the eight 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.
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the three 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.
<bullet> 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 Prairie Island Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota.
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 Hannah Morgan, Cheekwood Estate and Gardens,
1200 Forrest Park Drive, Nashville, TN 37205, telephone (615) 353-2160,
email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c9a1a4a6bbaea8a789aaa1acaca2bea6a6ade7a6bbae"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cca4a1a3beabada28cafa4a9a9a7bba3a3a8e2a3beab">[email protected]</span></a>, by April 4, 2022. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the
sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony to the Prairie Island
Indian Community in the State of Minnesota may proceed.
The Cheekwood Estate and Gardens is responsible for notifying the
Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota that this
notice has been published.
Dated: February 23, 2022.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
