DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: Alutiiq 

Museum and Archaeological 

Repository, Kodiak, AK 

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 Alutiiq 

Museum and Archaeological Repository, 

Kodiak, AK. The human remains were 

most likely removed from the Kodiak 

Archipelago, AK. 

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 Alutiiq Museum 

and Archaeological Repository 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of Native Village of 

Akhiok, Akhiok-Kaguyak, Inc., and 

Koniag, Inc. 

In the late 1960s, a cranium was 

purchased by Mr. Hass in a Kodiak bar. 

It is believed that the cranium was 

removed from Tugidak Island, at the 

southern end of the Kodiak Island 

archipelago, AK, by an unknown 

individual. In May of 1996, Mrs. Hass, 

the former wife of Mr. Hass, 

relinquished the human remains to the 

Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository to determine cultural 

affiliation and for repatriation (number 

AM238). No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1996, Dr. William Bergen, a 

physical anthropologist, examined the 

cranium and determined it is 

archeological and represents the human 

remains of an older, adult, female of 

Eskimo ancestry. This information, and 

the cranium’s most likely Tugidak 

Island origins, suggests that it is the 

human remains of an ancestral Alutiiq 

person. Specifically, Tugidak Island 

falls within the area traditionally used 

by the Native Village of Akhiok. 

Officials of the Alutiiq Museum and 

Archaeological Repository 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 

Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository 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
