Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, five individuals were 

removed from St. John’s County, FL. 

The human remains were donated to 

CASA in 1947 with very little 

accompanying documentation 

pertaining to archeological context. In 

1974, Dr Kathleen Deagan dated most 

material in the collection to post-1672 

(the date the fort was constructed). No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1979, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from St. John’s County, FL, 

during an excavation of test pits and 

trenches by Dr. Kathleen Deagan. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Aboriginal Land 

The human remains in this notice 

were removed from known geographic 

locations. These locations are the 

aboriginal lands of one or more Indian 

Tribes. The following information was 

used to identify the aboriginal land: a 

final judgment of the Indian Claims 

Commission, and a treaty. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes, CASA has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of six individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• No relationship of shared group 

identity can be reasonably traced 

between the human remains and any 

Indian Tribe. 

• The human remains described in 

this notice were removed from the 

aboriginal land of the Miccosukee Tribe 

of Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida; 

and The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. 

Requests for Disposition 

Written requests for disposition of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the Responsible Official 

identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for 

disposition may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization

shows that the requestor is an aboriginal 

land Indian Tribe. 

Disposition of the human remains 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after November 24, 

2023. If competing requests for 

disposition are received, CASA must 

determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to disposition. Requests

remains are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. CASA is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes identified in 

this notice.
