"Notice of intent to repatriate a cultural item in the possession of the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA (March, 26, 2001). In 1902 a stone bear effigy washed out of a grave on the Klamath Reservation in Oregon. An unidentified Klamath Indian gave the object to a Mr. L. Warren, who, a year later, turned it over to the Peabody. By NAGPRA standards, this is an 'unassociated funerary object,' which the Peabody agreed to repatriate to the Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon."American Indian Art, Vol. 27(2):85, Spring 2002
In approximately the 1940s or 1950s, 193 cultural items of ivory, bone, wood, and stone were removed from the Iyatet site, in Nome County, AK, by anthropologist Mr. J.L. Giddings and local guide Mr. Louis Nakarak. The objects were subsequently purchased by Mr. William Holman of Pacific Grove, CA. Mr. Holman then donated the objects to the Monterey Museum of Art on November 20, 1978. The 193 objects of cultural patrimony are 42 harpoon or projectile points, 38 pendants or beads, 3 fire-starters, 4 hand tools, 6 fishing weights, 37 carvings, 1 scraper, 3 dogsled runners, 1 club, 4 needles or awls, and 54 other objects made of ivory, bone, wood and stone.
