Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing one
named individual have been reasonably identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. The remains include a piece of skin taken
from the back of Chief Cut Nose, whose Dakota name was Marpiya
Okinajin. The piece of tanned skin is attached to a certificate. This
was donated to the Chicago Historical Society by George S. Knapp in
1883. It is unknown how Knapp acquired the remains. It is known from
the historical record that Marpiya Okinajin was one of the 38 Dakota
men hanged in Mankato, MN in 1862 at the end of the U.S.-Dakota War and
that his remains were removed from his place of burial in Mankato.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available
about the human remains described in this notice.
Determinations
The Chicago Historical Society has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of a named individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
described in this notice and the Lower Sioux Indian Community in the
State of Minnesota.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in this
notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this
notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. 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 human remains in this notice to a requestor may
occur on or after April 19, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the Chicago Historical Society must
determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the human remains are considered a
single request and not competing requests. The Chicago Historical
Society is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian
Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
