Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Indiana 
University professional staff in consultation with representatives of 
the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas (previously listed as the Alabama-
Coushatta Tribes of Texas); Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta 
Tribe of Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal Town; Miccosukee Tribe of Indians 
of Florida; Poarch Band of Creeks (previously listed as the Poarch Band

Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and the Thlopthlocco Tribal Town,

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1956, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were donated to the Department of Anthropology at Indiana University 
from the Cincinnati Society of Natural History. Notes indicate that 
these human remains may have been part of the Chicago Historical 
Society collections prior to 1950. The human remains are labeled as 
being from a Creek individual. No other information is present. No 
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    Descendants of the Creek Confederacy are members of the federally-
recognized tribes of the Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, Oklahoma; 
Kialegee Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Oklahoma; 
Poarch Band of Creek Indians of Alabama; Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of 
Texas; Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; 
Seminole Tribe of Florida; Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida; and

     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of
