DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Cosumnes River College, Los Rios 

Community College District, 

Sacramento, 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 in the possession of Cosumnes 

River College, Los Rios Community 

College District, Sacramento, CA. The 

human remains were removed from 

Sacramento 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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Cosumnes River 

College professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ione Band of Miwok Indians of 

California. 

In the 1920s, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from the 

Gallup Farm in Wilton, Sacramento 

County, CA, by the daughter of the 

landowner, Bernice Gallup. In 1974, the 

human remains were given to David 

Abrams, professor of Anthropology, 

Cosumnes River College. The human 

remains were in Professor Abram’s 

personal possession until his death in 

2004. In September 2006, Professor 

Abram’s widow donated the human 

remains to Cosumnes River College. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

According to museum records, the 

Gallup Farm was a known Miwok burial 

ground and was traditionally and 

historically the aboriginal land of the 

Ione Miwok. A forensic analysis of the 

human remains was conducted in 

October 2006. Dental wear patterns are 

consistent with known Miwok remains. 

Consultation with a representative of 

the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of 

California confirmed the identification 

of the human remains as Miwok. Based 

on museum records, donor statements, 

osteological evidence, and geographical 

information the Cosumnes River College 

officials reasonably believe that the 

human remains are Native American 

dating from before 1920, and are Ione 

Miwok. Descendants of the Ione Miwok 

are members of the Ione Band of Miwok 

Indians of California. 

Officials of the Cosumnes River 

College 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 Cosumnes River College 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 Ione 

Band of Miwok Indians of California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact William Karns, VicePresident of Instruction, Cosumnes 

River College, 8401 Center Parkway, 

Sacramento, CA 95823, telephone (916) 

691–7326, before April 16, 2007. 

Repatriation of the human remains to 

the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of 

California may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward. 

Cosumnes River College is 

responsible for notifying the Buena 

Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of 

California; California Valley Miwok 

Tribe, California; Cher-Ae Heights 

Indian Community of the Trinidad 

Rancheria, California; Chicken Ranch

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Tongass National Forest, 

Juneau, 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 and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Forest Service, Tongass 

National Forest, Juneau, AK. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from Admiralty Island 

National Monument in southeast 

Alaska. 

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 U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Angoon Community Association; 

Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida 

Indian Tribes; Kake Tribal Corporation; 

Kootznoowoo Incorporated; Organized 

Village of Kake; Sealaska Corporation; 

Shee Atika Inc.; and Sitka Tribe of 

Alaska. The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service also 

consulted with the Alaska Native 

Brotherhood and Sisterhood Camps in 

Angoon, Kake and Sitka, non-federally 

recognized Indian groups. 

In August 1989, human remains 

representing a minimum of 18 

individuals were removed from the 

Wilson Cove Rockshelter site, southwest 

Admiralty Island, AK, by Forest Service 

archeologists. No known individuals 

have been identified. The four 

associated funerary objects are four 

wood planks. 

The Wilson Cove Rockshelter site is 

divided into three sites called 

Rockshelter 1, 2, and 3. The four wood 

planks are believed to have been part of 

a bentwood box associated with the 

human remains at Rockshelter 3. 

Radiocarbon dates from charcoal and 

shell from Rockshelter 1 were 755 B.C. 

- 200 B.C. and 40 B.C - A.D. 230. A 

radiocarbon date for Rockshelter 3 was 

390 B.C. - A.D. 90. 

A professional physical 

anthropologist analyzed the human 

remains from all three sites and 

determined they are Native American. 

Ethnographic information and 

archeological data indicate that the 

Wilson Cove Rockshelter site is within 

the traditional territory of the Angoon 

Tlingit. Oral traditions of the Angoon 

Tlingit confirm their affiliation with this 

site. Descendants of the Angoon Tlingit 

are members of Kootznoowoo 

Incorporated. 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service have 

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

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of 18 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service also have determined that, 

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

four objects described above are 

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 U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service 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 objects and 

Kootznoowoo Incorporated. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Forrest Cole, Forest Supervisor, 

Tongass National Forest, Federal 

Building, Ketchikan, AK 99901–6591, 

telephone (907) 225–3101, before April 

16, 2007. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to Kootznoowoo Incorporated may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

Forest Service is responsible for 

notifying the Angoon Community 

Association; Central Council of the
