SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least, six individuals have been
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
[[Page 12775]]
This collection was received by the Yale Peabody Museum in 1871 and was
collected by members of the Yale College Scientific Expedition. The
human remains were collected from an unknown location in Kansas and
were shipped to the Yale Peabody Museum, among other collections, from
Fort Wallace, Kansas. Additional collecting notes attribute the
collection to Monument, Kansas.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location and acquisition history of the human remains described in this
notice.
Determinations
The Yale Peabody Museum has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of six individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a connection between the human remains described
in this notice and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma; Kaw
Nation, Oklahoma; Northern Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation,
Wyoming; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian
Reservation, Montana.
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 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 human remains described in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after April 18, 2025. If competing requests
for repatriation are received, the Yale Peabody Museum must determine
the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for

and not competing requests. The Yale Peabody Museum is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes identified in this
notice.
