DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: New 

York University College of Dentistry, 

New York, NY 

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 in the possession of New York 

University College of Dentistry, New 

York, NY. The human remains were 

removed from an unknown location or 

locations. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by New York 

University College of Dentistry 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Comanche Nation, 

Oklahoma. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown location or locations. At an 

unknown date, Dr. Joseph Jones of 

Louisiana added the human remains to 

his collection. In 1906, the widow of Dr. 

Jones sold his collection to the Museum 

of the American Indian, Heye 

Foundation. In 1956, the human 

remains were transferred to Dr. 

Theodore Kazamiroff, New York 

University College of Dentistry. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The original records of Dr. Jones 

identify the human remains as 

Comanche, but do not list a locality for 

them. Museum records also identify the 

human remains as ‘‘Comanche.’’ The 

attribution of a tribal affiliation of 

Comanche in the museum records 

suggests that the human remains may 

date to the historic period. Forensic data 

corroborate the tribal attribution and 

estimated age for the individuals. One 

cranium has cutmarks that appear to 

have been made near the time of death 

by a metal knife. The other cranium 

shows evidence of cradleboarding, 

which was practiced by the Comanche 

in the historic period. Both sets of 

remains exhibit weathering that would 

be expected for the rock or scaffold 

burial locations that were preferred by 

the Comanche during the historic 

period. During consultation, the tribal 

representative for the Comanche Nation 

supported the identification of the 

human remains as Comanche. 

Officials of New York University 

College of Dentistry 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 New York 

University College of Dentistry also 

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 the 

Comanche Nation, Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New 

York University College of Dentistry, 

345 East 24th St., New York, NY 10010, 

telephone (212) 998–9917, before 

October 23, 2009. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Comanche 

Nation, Oklahoma may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The New York University College of 

Dentistry is responsible for notifying the 

Comanche Nation, Oklahoma, that this 

notice has been published.
