SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice was previously given in accordance
with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA) of the intent to repatriate five cultural items removed from
Sitka, AK.
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 the Penn Museum. The
National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this
notice. Additional information on the amendments and determinations in
this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the
summary or related records held by the Penn Museum.
Amendment
This notice removes five cultural items from a published in a
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items in the Federal Register
(76 FR 9049-9051, February 16, 2011). Repatriation of five cultural
items in the original Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items has
not occurred. In the Federal Register (76 FR 9050, February 16, 2011),
paragraphs 3 through 11 are removed. The five cultural items are one
Wolf Helmet (catalog number NA8507), one Shark Helmet (29-1-1), one
Ganook Hat (NA6864), one Noble Killer Hat (NA11741), and one Eagle Hat
(NA11742). This amendment is being made upon the resolution of a
competing claim for the five Tlingit Kaagwaantaan Clan cultural items.
A new notice of intent to repatriate cultural items will follow.
The Penn Museum is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, a
Federally-recognized Indian Tribe, acting on behalf of the Tlingit
Kaagwaantaan Clan of Sitka, AK.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
25 U.S.C. 3003, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.8, 10.10,
10.13, and 10.14.
Dated: January 9, 2024.
