Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, FL
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), HISTORY Fort Lauderdale intends to
repatriate a certain cultural item that meets the definition of an
object of cultural patrimony and that has a cultural affiliation with
the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations in this notice. The
cultural item was removed from the Great Lakes Region.
DATES: Repatriation of the cultural item in this notice may occur on or
after October 2, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Tara Chadwick, HISTORY Fort Lauderdale, 219 SW 2nd Avenue,
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301, email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2753444f4643504e444c67414b4f4409485540"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="790d1a11181d0e101a12391f15111a57160b1e">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of
HISTORY Fort Lauderdale. The National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice. Additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation,
can be found in the summary or related records held by HISTORY Fort
Lauderdale.
Description
In 1969, a beaded belt with yarn ties was donated to the Fort
Lauderdale Historical Society (HISTORY Fort Lauderdale) by Fulton
Wells, who stated that the item had been gifted by ``Connecticut
Indians'' to his father, Phillip Wells. After consulting with Indian
Tribes in Connecticut and subject matter experts, HISTORY Fort
Lauderdale has determined that this item (accession X-281) most likely
is associated with the Great Lakes area and not Connecticut. Based on
information provided by the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin, HISTORY Fort
Lauderdale also has determined that the beaded panel belt meets the
definition of an object of cultural patrimony.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural item in this notice is connected to one or more
identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a
relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier
groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or
Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were
used to reasonably trace the relationship: geographical, historical,
oral traditional, and expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, HISTORY Fort Lauderdale has determined that:
<bullet> The one cultural item 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> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the cultural item and the Ho-Chunk Nation
of Wisconsin.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item
in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by any lineal
descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not
identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or a culturally
affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the cultural item in this notice to a requestor may
occur on or after October 2, 2023. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, HISTORY Fort Lauderdale must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural item is considered a single request and
not competing requests. HISTORY Fort Lauderdale is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribe identified in this
notice.
