Abstract of Information Available
A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation.
The one cultural patrimony object is a horn ladle taken from the camp
of Sitting Bull who was captured by Lt. Frank D. Baldwin, 5th Infantry,
December 8, 1876, at Red Water Creek, Montana. Acquired by Michigan
Historical Commission from an unknown donor at an unknown date.
Determinations
The Michigan History Center has determined that:
<bullet> The one object of cultural patrimony described in this
notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance
central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-
group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other
subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the cultural
items described in this notice and the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of
the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item
in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified
in this notice under 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 July 29, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation
are received, the Michigan History Center must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural item are considered a single request and
not competing requests. The Michigan History Center is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice and to any other consulting
parties.
