History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from a burial 

context at an unknown location in 

Colorado. In 1975, the human remains 

were accessioned into the collections 

(A1986.1 (CUI 14)). The remains include 

fragmentary cranial remains of one adult 

of indeterminate sex. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Denver 

Museum 

• Based on non-destructive physical 

analysis and catalogue records, the 

human remains are determined to be 

Native American. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), that 

a relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe. 

• According to final judgment of the 

Indian Claims Commission, the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains were removed is the aboriginal 

land of the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind 

River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne 

and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma; 

Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Death 

Valley Timbi-Sha Shoshone Band of 

California; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe 

of the Duckwater Reservation, Nevada; 

Ely Shoshone Tribe of Nevada; Fort 

McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribes
