Another item in the Federal Register this morning (79 Fed. Reg. 53777) concerned a dog figurine in grave of Spotted Wolf, whose burial items are described in a Department of the Interior (NPS) “Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items” as follows: “In 1966, 29 cultural items were removed from the gravesite of Spotted Wolf who was interred near Canton, OK. The remains of Spotted Wolf were exhumed and moved to Chief’s Knoll at the Fort Sill Post Cemetery, but the cultural items were not reinterred with the human remains. It is unknown when the cultural items were given to the Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum. Spotted Wolf died in 1897, and is identified as Southern Arapaho on his gravestone at the Fort Sill Post Cemetery and as Arapaho in Fort Sill records. The 29 unassociated funerary objects are 12 pieces of red ochre, 2 rings, 1 metal cane handle, 1 belt buckle, 1 box, 9 metal disks, 1 metal button, 1 ceramic dog figurine, and 1 ceramic figurine. “ I am looking for a picture of the dog figurine. Any help would be appreciated. I can be contacted directly at jensminger@msn. doglawreporter.blogspot/2012/01/dogs-of-great-plains-nations.html
