Long Walk National Historic Trail 

Feasibility Study, Abbreviated Final 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

National Trails Intermountain Region, 

NM 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Abbreviated Final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Long Walk 

National Historic Trail Feasibility 

Study. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 

(NEPA) 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the 

National Park Service announces the 

availability of the Abbreviated Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Long Walk National Historic Trail 

Feasibility Study, National Trails 

Intermountain Region, New Mexico. 

Four alternatives and their respective 

environmental consequences were 

presented in the feasibility study. Under 

alternative A, the no-action alternative, 

current practices and policies would 

continue. A national historic trail would 

not be designated, and interpretation 

and protection of Long Walk-related 

events and resources would not be 

coordinated. Under alternative B, 

Congress would designate two national 

historic trails (dual designations) to 

emphasize the unique removal 

experiences of the Mescalero Apache 

and Navajo tribes within the contextual 

history. An auto tour route would be 

established. Interpretation and 

education would emphasize the 

distinctive tribal and individual 

removal histories. Under alternative C 

(Environmentally Preferable 

Alternative) one national historic trail 

would be designated, emphasizing the 

removal experiences common to both 

tribes. An auto tour route would be 

established. Interpretation and 

education would emphasize overviews 

of the Long Walk events. Under 

alternatives B and C, the Secretary of the 

Interior would administer the trail 

through partnerships, primarily with the 

Mescalero Apache Tribe and Navajo 

Nation. Under alternative D, Congress 

would provide a grant program to the 

tribes focusing on interpretation and 

education projects and resource 

protection on tribal lands. All decisions 

about strategy, level of protection, etc., 

would be made by the tribes. A national 

historic trail would not be designated. 

No other alternatives were considered 

during the course of the study. 

The feasibility study determined the 

Long Walk routes fully meet the criteria 

for designation as national historic 

trails. The overall nature of public 

comments during the review period for 

the draft study supported designation. 

Neither the draft feasibility study nor 

the abbreviated final environmental 

impact statement identified a preferred 

alternative. The National Park Service 

has subsequently identified Alternative 

A, the no-action alternative, to be the 

preferred alternative after requesting 

and considering comments on the draft 

plan from the Navajo Nation. 

DATES: The National Park Service will 

execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no 

sooner than 30 days following 

publication by the Environmental 

Protection Agency of the Notice of 

Availability of the Abbreviated Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

ADDRESSES: Information will be 

available for public inspection online at

Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural 

Items: University of Pennsylvania 

Museum of Archaeology and 

Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA 

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. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate cultural items in the 

possession of the University of 

Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology 

and Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA, 

that meet the definitions of sacred 

objects and/or objects of cultural 

patrimony under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The eight Tlingit objects are one 

wooden box drum (catalogue number 

NA6828); one hide robe (catalogue 

number NA6829); two carved wooden 

masks (catalogue numbers NA6831 and 

NA6832); one carved wooden headdress 

(catalogue number NA6835); one head 

cover (catalogue number NA6836); one 

carved wooden rattle (catalogue number 

NA6845); and one carved wooden pipe 

(catalogue number NA6862). 

The first cultural item is a drum 

(NA6828) made of two pieces of cedar 

wood, called Old-Man-of-War Box 

Drum. One narrow side is carved to 

represent the ‘‘old-man-of-war’’ and the 

opposing side is open; the broad sides 

are painted in geometric figures in red 

and black. The drum measures 

approximately 65.0 cm long, 32.0 cm 

wide and 85.0 cm high.

The second cultural item is a robe 

(NA6829) made from three panels of 

caribou hide sewn together, called the 

Lituya Bay Robe. The seams are fringed 

and the top and sides are trimmed with 

marten fur. The imagery on the robe is 

painted with black and red, and either 

yellow or white pigment. The central 

figure of the image represents a rock in 

Lituya Bay and two side images 

represent rapids. The robe measures 

approximately 157.0 cm wide and 127.0 

cm long. 

The third cultural item is a mask 

(NA6831) that consists of carved wood 

painted with red, black and white 

pigment, representing a tree stump, and 

called the Owl-of-the Heavens. On the 

top of the stump sits a taxidermic owl 

that can be moved by the performer 

wearing the mask. The mask measures 

approximately 24.5 cm high and 20.5 

cm wide. 

The fourth cultural item is a mask 

(NA6832), called Commander-of-theTides. The face is painted with red and 

black pigmented designs representing 

feathers, and includes actual bird 

feathers crowning the mask and a wide 

leather band at the back. The eyes are 

movable and made to represent the 

movements of the changing ocean tides. 

The mask measures approximately 35.0 

cm high and 24.0 cm wide. 

The fifth cultural item is a headdress 

or shakee.at (NA6835), called Little 

Ravine, after a passageway over a sand 

mount at Dry Bay, near Yakutat. It is 

elaborately carved with multiple figures 

painted with red, black and blue-green 

pigment, and ornamented with abalone, 

ermine fur, eagle down and feathers. 

The carving represents an episode of the 

Raven’s Journey that took place near the 

sand mount. The headdress measures 

approximately 53.0 cm high and 22.0 

cm wide. 

The sixth cultural item is a head cover 

(NA6836) formed from a corner piece of 

a Chilkat blanket made of twisted wild 

mountain goat wool. A piece of red felt 

was added as a border and a second 

small piece of red felt covers the lower 

front of the head cover. The head cover 

is ornamented with mountain goat hair 

and a fox tail. A carved wooden figure, 

painted with black, red and blue-green 

pigment, and representing the Raven, is 

positioned at the top front of the head 

cover. The head cover measures 

approximately 31.8 cm high and 21.6 

cm long. 

The seventh cultural item is a rattle 

(NA6845) carved to represent a loon, 

with a recumbent human figure and a 

raven’s head on top. It is painted with 

black, red and blue-green pigment. The 

rattle measures approximately 32.5 cm 

long, 7.7 cm wide and 9.5 cm high. 

The eighth cultural item is a tobacco 

pipe (NA6862) carved with a 

representation of a spirit or animal, 

which remains unidentified. It is 

painted with blue pigment at the base 

only and a metal strip, probably copper, 

is attached around the opening of the 

bowl. The pipe is large, measuring 

approximately 20.0 cm high and 14.5 

cm wide. 

In 1924, Louis Shotridge, a Tlingit 

Curator employed by the University of 

Pennsylvania Museum, purchased the 

eight objects as part of a collection of 49 

objects, which are represented by 38 

catalogue numbers, referred to as the 

‘‘Snail House Collection,’’ for $500.00 

from a Tlingit individual, Archie White 

(Dimitri Tukk’axaaw), the Mt. 

Fairweather/Snail House headmaster of 

the T’akdeintaan Clan of Hoonah, AK, 

for the collections of the University of 

Pennsylvania Museum. 

The cultural affiliation of the eight 

cultural items is with the Tlingit 

T’akdeintaan Clan of Hoonah, AK, as 

indicated through museum records, and 

by consultation evidence presented by 

the Hoonah Indian Association, a 

Federally-recognized Indian Tribe, and 

the Huna Heritage Foundation, a nonFederally recognized Indian group, 

acting on behalf of the Huna Totem 

Corporation and the Tlingit 

T’akdeintaan Clan of Hoonah, AK. 

Based on consultation, museum 

documentation, anthropological 

literature, and expert opinion, six of the 

cultural items are considered to be 

sacred objects, one is considered to be 

an object of cultural patrimony, and one 

is considered to be both an object of 

cultural patrimony and sacred object. 

The six cultural items that are sacred 

objects are the two carved wooden 

masks (NA6831 and NA6832); the 

headdress (NA6835); the head cover 

(NA6836); the carved wooden rattle 

(NA6845); and the carved wooden pipe 

(NA6862). The cultural item that is 

considered an object of cultural 

patrimony is the wooden box drum 

(NA6828). Lastly, the cultural item that 

is considered to be both a sacred object 

and an object of cultural patrimony is 

the hide robe (NA6829). 

Officials of the University of 

Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology 

and Anthropology have determined, 

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

cultural items described above are 

specific ceremonial objects needed by 

traditional Native American religious 

leaders for the practice of traditional 

Native American religions by their 

present-day adherents. Officials of the 

University of Pennsylvania Museum of 

Archaeology and Anthropology also 

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

3001(3)(D), two cultural items described 

above have ongoing historical, 

traditional, or cultural importance 

central to the Native American group or 

culture itself, rather than property 

owned by an individual. Lastly, officials 

of the University of Pennsylvania 

Museum of Archaeology and 

Anthropology have determined, 

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

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the sacred objects and the objects of 

cultural patrimony and the Hoonah 

Indian Association, a Federallyrecognized Indian Tribe, and the Tlingit 

T’akdeintaan Clan of Hoonah, AK. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

Tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the sacred objects and/or 

objects of cultural patrimony should 

contact Dr. Richard Hodges, Director, 

University of Pennsylvania Museum of 

Archaeology and Anthropology, 3260 

South St., Philadelphia, PA 19104– 

6324, telephone (215) 898–4050, before 

January 13, 2011. Repatriation of the 

sacred objects and objects of cultural 

patrimony to the Hoonah Indian 

Association, a Federally-recognized 

Indian Tribe, and the Tlingı ́t 

T’akdeintaan Clan of Hoonah, AK, may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

The University of Pennsylvania 

Museum of Archaeology and 

Anthropology is responsible for 

notifying the Hoonah Indian 

Association, a Federally-recognized 

Indian Tribe, and the Huna Heritage 

Foundation, a non-federally recognized 

Indian group, that this notice has been 

published.
