DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion of Native American Human Remains
in the Possession of the Colorado Historical Society, Denver, CO
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior
ACTION: Notice
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given in accordance with provisions of the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C.
3003(d), of the completion of an inventory of human remains in
the possession of the Colorado Historical Society, Denver, CO.
The inventory and assessment of these human remains has been made
by the Colorado Historical Society staff and representatives of
the Pawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.
The human remain consists of one human scalplock. No known
individual was identified. The scalplock was acquired in 1881 by
John B. Hamilton at Pawhuska, Oklahoma as part of a collection
associated with an Osage tribal leader, Black Dog, and identified
in the extant documentation as the scalplock of a Pawnee. The
scalplock was subsequently acquired by Dr. and Mrs. S. Julian
Lamme and loaned to the Colorado Historical Society in 1944.
Part of the scalplock was turned over by the Lammes in March 1957
to Kohlberg's, a Denver antique dealer, for sale. In April 1957,
a portion of this item was discovered in the Colorado Historical
Society collections and purchased from the heirs of Dr. and Mrs.
S. Julian Lamme.
Based on the above mentioned information, consultations with the
Pawnee Tribe, and the history of conflict between the Osage and
the Pawnee during the 19th century (including Black Dog's
lifetime), officials of the Colorado Historical Society have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C 3001 (2), there is a
relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably
traced between these human remains and the Pawnee Tribe of
Oklahoma.
This notice has been sent to officials of the Pawnee Tribe of
Oklahoma. Representatives of any other Indian tribe which
believes itself to be culturally affiliated with these human
remains should contact Anne Wainstein Bond, Curator of Material
Culture, Colorado Historical Society, 1300 Broadway, Denver, CO
80203, phone (303) 866-4691 before November 24, 1995.
Repatriation of these remains may begin after this date if no
additional claimants come forward.
