Abstract of Information Available
The two lots of associated funerary objects are two lots of objects
that belonged to a Seminole leader who died at Ft. Moultrie, South
Carolina, in 1838. The objects were acquired by the ADAH in 1975.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available
about the associated funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
The Alabama Department of Archives and History has determined that:
<bullet> The two lots of objects described in this notice are
reasonably believed to have been intended to be placed intentionally
with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
<bullet> There is a connection between the associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the Seminole Tribe of Florida and
The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the associated funerary
objects 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 an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with
cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the associated funerary objects described in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or after December 26, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are received, the Alabama
Department of Archives

and History must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to

for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
