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 cultural items under the
control of History Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, FL, that meet the
definition of 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 Native
American cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural Items
In 1980, Frederick Anderson donated three lithic projectile points
with a Michigan provenience to the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society
(History Fort Lauderdale). In 2021, History Fort Lauderdale was
contacted by the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Bay Mills
Indian Community, Michigan. According to information provided by the
Bay Mills Indian Community, these projectile points are considered a
sacred symbol of the Tribe's cultural identity. Based on consultation
information provided by the Bay Mills Indian Community, History Fort
Lauderdale has determined that these lithic items meet the definition
of objects of cultural patrimony.
Determinations Made by History Fort Lauderdale
Officials of History Fort Lauderdale have determined that:
<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 objects
of cultural patrimony and the Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan.
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 Tara Chadwick, History Fort Lauderdale, 219
SW 2nd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301, telephone (954) 463-4431,
email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6612050e0702110f050d26000a0e0548091401"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="691d0a01080d1e000a02290f05010a47061b0e">[email protected]</span></a>, by June 8, 2022. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the Bay
Mills Indian Community, Michigan may proceed.
The History Fort Lauderdale is responsible for notifying the Bay
Mills Indian Community, Michigan that this notice has been published.
Dated: April 27, 2022.
