interpretation. The NPS and the Key 

Partners would develop a coordinated 

land protection plan focused on 

protection of key historic sites that 

would become focal areas. The NPS and 

the Key Partners would develop formal 

agreements to undertake special projects 

and general park management. 

Alternative D is the NPS preferred 

alternative. Under this alternative, 

visitors would experience the park at a 

NPS-developed and managed visitor 

center and at visitor focal areas owned 

and managed by the NPS and the Key 

Partners. The NPS and the Key Partners 

would coordinate interpretive programs 

at these sites. Visitors would access the 

park via auto-touring routes and an 

extensive system of non-motorized trails 

that provides opportunities for 

interpretation and recreation, that 

connect focal areas, and tie to 

communities and resources outside the 

park. The NPS and the Key Partners 

would develop a coordinated land 

protection plan focused on protection of 

cultural landscapes, sensitive natural 

resource areas, and lands providing 

connections between NPS and Key 

Partner properties.

History and Description of the Remains 

Between 1867 and 1870, human 

remains representing a minimum of one 

individual were obtained from an 

unknown location, possibly near Ft. 

Fetterman, in Wyoming. In 1982, the 

human remains were donated to the 

Denver Museum by Linda Stebbins and 

Mark Andrews, who obtained them 

from Charles D. Cobb. The human 

remains were accessioned into the 

collections (A1224.3 (CUI 22)). The 

remains consist of 10 inches of black 

human hair and scalp. The edge of the 

scalp has been perforated and laced 

with sinew. 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), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe.
