SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the
summary or related records. The National Park Service is not

Abstract of Information Available
A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation.
The one object of cultural patrimony is a silver gorget. This gorget
was purchased in 1959; however further acquisition information is
unknown. Affiliation was assumed based on the inscription,
``MOHICKANS,'' and confirmed through consultation. No treatments have
been documented; hazardous treatments have not been historically used
at The Henry Ford.
Determinations
The Henry Ford has determined that:
<bullet> The one object of cultural patrimony described in this
notice has 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 item
described in this notice and the Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
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 August 12, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, The Henry Ford 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 Henry Ford 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.
