was associated with whaling objects. 

The other individual was a juvenile. 

Forensic examination identified the 

individual in the possession of the 

College of Dentistry as the remains of a 

child. Basketry in the wooden case and 

elsewhere in the house were identified 

as the craftwork of Dase’LtEb. Waterman 

concluded that the human remains of 

the adult were those of Mr. McCarty, the 

husband of Dase’LtEb. Although 

Waterman’s records name the adult as 

Mr. McCarty, they do not name the 

juvenile. Tribal representatives 

discussed this matter with members of 

the McCarty family. Information 

provided by members of the McCarty 

family indicates that the human remains 

of the child may belong to a nephew of 

Mr. McCarty, but no lineal descendants 

have been identified. 

Officials of the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs and 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 one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs 

and 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 Makah Indian Tribe of the 

Makah Indian Reservation, Washington. 

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 

November 12, 2009. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Makah Indian 

Tribe of the Makah Indian Reservation, 

Washington may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

New York University College of 

Dentistry and the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs are responsible for notifying the 

Makah Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian 

Reservation, Washington that this notice

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Riverside Metropolitan Museum, 

Riverside, CA 

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 object 

in the control of the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum, Riverside, CA. 

The human remains were removed from 

Santa Barbara County, CA. 

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 object. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum professional staff 

in consultation with the Santa Ynez 

Band of Chumash Mission Indians of 

the Santa Ynez Reservation, California. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from the site 

for the Potter Hotel, Santa Barbara, 

Santa Barbara County, CA, during the 

excavation for the construction of the 

hotel. Cornelius E. Rumsey donated the 

human remains to the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum in 1925. No 

known individual was identified. The 

one associated funerary object is a stone 

pestle. 

Historic records identify the Chumash 

Indians as the inhabitants of the Santa 

Barbara area. 

In 1949, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from an unknown burial on 

San Miguel Island, Channel Islands, 

Santa Barbara County, CA. Oscar 

Perrine donated the human remains to 

the Riverside Metropolitan Museum in 

1962. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

San Miguel Island is one of the 

Channel Islands, which are historically 

associated with the Island Chumash 

people. Archeologists have suggested 

that there is considerable cultural 

continuity in this area. The 

establishment of Spanish missions 

resulted in the dispersal of the Island 

Chumash. The 109 Chumash Indians, 

who settled on the small plot of land 

near the Santa Ynez Mission given to 

them in 1855, support a historical 

connection between the present-day 

Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission 

Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, 

California, and the Island Chumash 

people. 

Based on collections research, 

geographic location, and historic 

documentation, the human remains are 

of Chumash origin. Descendants of the 

Chumash are members of the Federallyrecognized Santa Ynez Band of 

Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 

Ynez Reservation, California. 

Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan 

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 Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum also have 

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

3001 (3)(A), the one object described 

above is 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 

Riverside Metropolitan 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 object and the Santa 

Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians 

of the Santa Ynez Reservation, 

California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary object should 

contact Ennette Morton, Museum 

Director, Riverside Metropolitan 

Museum, 3580 Mission Inn Avenue, 

Riverside, CA 92501, telephone (951) 

826–5273, before November 12, 2009. 

Repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary object to the Santa 

Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians 

of the Santa Ynez Reservation, 

California may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward. 

The Riverside Metropolitan Museum 

is responsible for notifying the Santa 

Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians 

of the Santa Ynez Reservation, 

California that this notice has been

Protection and Repatriation Act 

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

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the control of the Riverside

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum professional staff 

in consultation with the Crow Tribe of 

Montana. 

In 1930, human remains representing 

a minimum of two individuals were 

removed from an exposed earth bank 

near Greybull, Bighorn County, WY, 

during highway construction by Lt. Col. 

R. J. Pilcher. Lt. Col. Pilcher donated the 

human remains to the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum in 1957. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

It was determined that the human 

remains are Native American. Through 

collections research, and based on the 

geographic location of the discovery, the 

human remains are reasonably believed 

to be of Crow origin. Descendants of the 

Crow are members of the Crow Tribe of 

Montana. 

Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan 

Museum have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of two

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with provisions of the Native American 

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act 

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

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and an associated funerary 

object in the possession of the Ohio 

Historical Society, Columbus, OH. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

object were removed from Lucas 

County, OH. 

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 the Ohio 

Historical Society’s professional staff in 

consultation with Dr. G. Michael Pratt of 

Heidelberg University and the Lucas 

County Coroner’s Office. The Forest 

County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Grand Traverse Band of 

Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little River 

Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan; 

Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa 

Indians, Michigan; and Ottawa Tribe of 

Oklahoma, were notified and sent the 

inventory records. 

On May 23, 2007, human remains 

representing a minimum of three 

individuals were removed from along 

the eastern end of Indian Island in the 

Maumee River, Lucas County, OH, by a 

staff member of the Lucas County 

Coroner’s Office, and Dr. G. Michael 

Pratt. Prior to removal, the Ohio 

Highway Patrol had received a report 

that human remains had been 

discovered. Indian Island is owned by 

the State of Ohio. No known individuals 

were identified. The one associated 

funerary object is a knife. 

Dr. Pratt identified the human 

remains as Native American based on 

the presence of the cranial vault 

configuration, the presence of Wormian 

bones in the lambdoid cranial suture, 

and the attrition present on the teeth. 

The associated funerary object and other 

artifacts found in the vicinity indicate 

that these human remains probably 

were buried during the period from A.D. 

1760 to 1833. 

Archeological and historical 

information indicate that Ottawa bands 

began to settle in the lower Maumee 

valley beginning in A.D. 1740 to 1750. 

Ottawa occupation of this region 

continued until August 1794 when the 

principal villages were burned by 

Anthony Wayne’s expedition in the 

days following the Battle of Fallen 

Timbers. In the following summer of 

1795, the Ottawa Tribe was one of the 

signatories of the Treaty of Greenville 

under the terms of which they ceded 

their claim to much of the land in this 

region. More land was ceded in treaties 

signed between 1807 and 1817, but four 

small reservations were retained for the 

Ottawa in the lower Maumee valley. 

Indian Island was part of the Roche de 

Boeuf reservation established in the 

Treaty of Detroit in 1807. In 1831 to 

1833, the four reservations were ceded 

to the United States in return for lands 

in present-day Franklin County, KS. In 

1867, the Kansas reservation 

organization was dissolved and the 

Ottawa sold their individual allotments 

and moved to Oklahoma, and are 

represented by the Ottawa Tribe of 

Oklahoma. 

Officials of the Ohio Historical 

Society have determined that, pursuant 

to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human 

remains described above represent the 

physical remains of at least three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Ohio Historical
