SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.

LMA, and additional information on the determinations in this notice,
including the results of consultation, can be found in the inventory or
related records. The National Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual has been reasonably identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. The preponderance of evidence suggests
that the human remains representing one individual were removed from
Chatham County, GA, between 1937 and 1939 by physical anthropologist
Dr. Frederick S. Hulse. The human remains were removed from an unknown
archaeological site, possibly the Irene Mound site. The human remains
came into the LMA collections after 1949 when Dr. Hulse left Colgate
University.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this
notice.
Determinations
The LMA has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
described in this notice and The Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
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 May 16, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation
are received, the LMA 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
LMA is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian
Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
