ADDRESSES: Dr. Trina Roberts, Museum of Natural History, 11 Macbride 
Hall, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, telephone (319) 335-
1313, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item under the 
control of the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History, Iowa City, 
IA, that meets the definition of an object of cultural patrimony under 
25 U.S.C. 3001.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The 
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native 
American cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

History and Description of the Cultural Item

    In November 1983 Betty S. Webber and Catherine S. Chandler donated 
one bear claw necklace to the University of Iowa Museum of Natural 
History along with other cultural items owned by their father, Fred 
Armstrong Soleman, which were purchased or received as gifts during his 
career in Tama, IA. The bear claw necklace was accessioned by the 
University of Iowa Museum of Natural History as SUI 33914. The bear 
claw necklace was identified as an object of cultural patrimony by 
Jonathan Buffalo, Historical Preservation Director of the Sac & Fox 
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, in a letter dated February 3, 2015.
    Consultation with the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa 
confirmed both that this object fits the definition of an object of 
cultural patrimony under NAGPRA and that it was collected in or around 
the boundaries of the traditional property of the Sac & Fox Tribe of 
the Mississippi in Iowa.

Determinations Made by the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History

    Officials of the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the one cultural item 
described above has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural 
importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, 
rather than property owned by an individual.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the bear 
claw necklace and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim 
these cultural items should submit a written request with information 
in support of the claim to Dr. Trina Roberts, Museum of Natural 
History, 11 Macbride Hall, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, 
telephone (319) 335-1313, email [email protected], by September 
4, 2015. After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, 
transfer of control of the object of cultural patrimony to the Sac & 
Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa may proceed.
    The University of Iowa Museum of Natural History is responsible for 
notifying the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa that this 
notice has been published.

    Dated: June 29, 2015.
