Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of 

Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and 

Arizona State Museum, University of 

Arizona, Tucson, AZ

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the control of the U.S. Department of 

the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Washington, DC, and in the physical 

custody of the Arizona State Museum, 

University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed from sites within 

the boundaries of the Gila River Indian 

Reservation, Pinal County, AZ.

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice.

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Arizona State 

Museum professional staff and Bureau 

of Indian Affairs professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ak Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community 

of the Gila River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt 

River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. The 

Zuni Tribe has withdrawn from this 

consultation. The Gila River Indian 

Community of the Gila River Indian 

Reservation, Arizona is acting on behalf 

of the Ak Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 

Indian Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono 

O’odham Nation of Arizona; and 

themselves.

In September 1964, human remains 

representing one individual were 

collected from the surface of the 

Snaketown site (AZ:U:13:1 ASM) on the 

Gila River Indian Reservation, Pinal 

County, AZ, by F.V. Crane. No known 

individual was identified. The five 

associated funerary objects are three 

sherds and two lithic artifacts. Other 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects from this site were published in 

a notice of inventory completion in the 

Federal Register on December 29, 2000, 

pages 83079-81, FR Doc. 00-33272.

Mr. Crane removed the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

from the Snaketown site and donated 

them, with M.W.A. Crane, to the Denver 

Museum of Natural History in 1983. In 

July 2002, officials from the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs transferred custody of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to the Arizona State Museum.

The archeological evidence, including 

characteristics of portable material 

culture, attributes of ceramic styles, 

domestic and ritual architecture, site 

organization, and canal-based 

agriculture of the settlement, places the 

Snaketown site within the 

archeologically-defined Hohokam 

tradition and within the Phoenix Basin 

local variant of that tradition. The 

occupation of the Snaketown site spans 

the years circa A.D. 500/700-1100/1150.

At an unknown date between 1931 

and 1934, human remains representing 

one individual were removed from a 

cremation feature at an unknown site in 

the vicinity of Sacaton (AZ U:14:--) area, 

Gila River Indian Reservation, Pinal 

County, AZ, by Carl A. Moosberg. No 

known individual was identified. The 

one associated funerary object is a 

Sacaton Red-on-buff jar in which the 

remains had been placed subsequent to 

cremation. The vessel and the human 

remains were donated to the Arizona 

State Museum by Carl A. Moosberg in 

1935. In 1953, the vessel and the 

remains were sent to the Denver 

Museum of Natural History as part of an 

exchange. In July 2002, officials from 

the Bureau of Indian Affairs transferred 

custody of the human remains and the 

vessel back to the Arizona State 

Museum.

Based on characteristics of the 

mortuary pattern and the attributes of 

the ceramic style, this burial has been 

identified as being associated with the 

Sedentary Phase of the Hohokam 

archeological tradition, which spanned 

the years circa A.D. 950-1150.

Continuities of mortuary practices, 

ethnographic materials, and technology 

indicate affiliation of Hohokam 

settlements with present-day O’odham 

(Piman), Pee Posh (Maricopa), and 

Puebloan cultures. Oral traditions 

documented for the Ak Chin Indian 

Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River 

Indian Community of the Gila River 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe 

of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 

Indian Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico support 

affiliation with Hohokam sites in central 

Arizona.

Officials of the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs and Arizona State Museum have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (9-10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs and Arizona 

State Museum also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the six cultural items described above 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

76782 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2004 / Notices 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

Lastly, officials of the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs and Arizona State Museum have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the Ak 

Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community 

of the Gila River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt 

River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact John Madsen, Repatriation 

Coordinator, Arizona State Museum, 

University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 

85721, telephone (520) 621-4795, before 

January 21, 2005. Repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to the Ak Chin Indian 

Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River 

Indian Community of the Gila River 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe 

of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 

Indian Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward.

The Arizona State Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Ak Chin 

Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak 

Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila 

River Indian Community of the Gila 

River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi 

Tribe of Arizona; Salt River 

Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Nebraska State Historical Society, 

Lincoln, NE

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of Nebraska State 

Historical Society, Lincoln, NE. The 

human remains and cultural items were 

removed from the Oacama site, Lyman 

County, SD.

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice.

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Nebraska State 

Historical Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 

Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.

In 1951 and 1952, human remains 

representing a minimum of three 

individuals were removed from the 

Oacama site, Lyman County, SD, by Dr. 

Martin Kivett of the Nebraska State 

Historical Society. The site was on land 

that was probably private at the time 

that it was excavated. No known 

individuals were identified. The four 

associated funerary objects are two 

animal bones and two fragments of 

burned earth.

The Oacama site was excavated by Dr. 

Kivett in 1951 and 1952. The 

investigation was completed in 

association with the Smithsonian River 

Basin Survey in the area of 

Chamberlain, SD. Oacama is a 

postcontact earthlodge village, which 

Dr. Kivett believes dates to the period 

A.D. 1675–1725 (unpublished 

manuscript on file, Nebraska State 

Historical Society, 1958), and is most 

likely an Arikara village. The pottery 

recovered in association with the 

human remains is typical of that made 

by the Arikara, who occupied a number 

of villages in this area during the 

postcontact period. Cranial morphology 

also supports affiliation to the Arikara. 

The simple–stamped pottery noted by 

Dr. Kivett has not been located. The 

Arikara are today represented by the 

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 

Berthold Reservation, North Dakota

Officials of the Nebraska State 

Historical Society have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Nebraska State 

Historical Society also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the four objects described above are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, 

officials of the Nebraska State Historical 

Society have determined that, pursuant 

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

relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects and the 

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 

Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Rob Bozell, Associate Director, 

Nebraska State Historical Society, 1500 

R Street, P.O. Box 82554, Lincoln, NE 

68501–2554, telephone 402–471–4789, 

before January 21, 2005. Repatriation of 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects to the Three Affiliated 

Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, 

North Dakota may proceed after that 

date if no additional claimants come 

forward.

The Nebraska State Historical Society 

is responsible for notifying Three 

Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold 

Reservation, North Dakota that this 

notice has been published.
