Abstract of Information Available
A total of one lot of cultural items have been requested for
repatriation. The one lot of objects of cultural patrimony are a lot of
petroglyphs. The cultural items were believed to be removed from the
Delaware Water Gap or Susquehanna River. The petroglyphs have been in
Special Collections since prior to 2008, but it is unknown how or
exactly when Bryn Mawr College acquired them. Bryn Mawr College has no
knowledge of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the
objects of cultural patrimony.
Determinations
Bryn Mawr College has determined that:
<bullet> The one lot of objects 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 Delaware Nation, Oklahoma;
Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items
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
[[Page 84396]]
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after November 21, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, Bryn Mawr College must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural items are considered a single request and
not competing requests. Bryn Mawr College 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.
