Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural 

Items: Southwest Museum of the 

American Indian, Autry National 

Center, Los Angeles, CA; Correction 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate cultural items in the 

possession of the Southwest Museum of 

the American Indian, Autry National 

Center, Los Angeles, CA, that meet the 

definitions of ‘‘sacred objects’’ and 

‘‘objects of cultural patrimony’’ under 

25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

This notice corrects a previously 

published Notice of Intent to Repatriate 

by increasing the number of cultural 

items listed from 55 to 56 cultural items, 

as the original notice omitted one 

Dilzini Gaan headdress. 

In the Federal Register of November 

2, 2006, (FR Doc E6–18509, pages 

64559–64561), the following corrections 

are made –

The third paragraph is corrected by 

substituting the following paragraph: 

The 56 cultural items are 42 pieces of 

Dilzini Gaandance material, 7 Dilzini 

Gaan headdresses, 2 Dilzini Gaan dance 

wands, 2 crosses, 1 shirt, 1 medicine 

bundle, and 1 cap. 

Paragraphs 9 and 10 are corrected by 

substituting the following paragraphs: 

On December 3, 1935, the Southwest 

Museum purchased four Dilzini Gaan 

headdresses from Ms. Bonnie Gray of 

Burbank, CA, with money provided by 

the General Charles McCormack Reeve 

Fund. According to correspondence 

found in the museum records, Ms. Gray 

and a companion unearthed the masks 

in Arizona from the floor of a deserted 

Apache cabin during the middle of the 

night. Museum records identify all four 

headdresses as Apache ‘‘Devil Dance’’

material. 

The first of the four Dilzini Gaan 

headdresses is made of wooden slats 

tied together with sinew arranged in a 

fan shape measuring approximately 31 

inches wide and 35 inches high. The 

slats are decorated with small mirrors 

and red, black, blue and yellow painted 

zigzags, arrows, birds, and geometric 

designs. A black cloth mask is attached 

to the frame with two slits made for the 

wearer’s eyes. The second Dilzini Gaan 

headdress is made of wooden slats tied 

together with sinew arranged in a fan 

shape measuring approximately 30.5 

inches wide and 36 inches high. Blue, 

red–orange, black, purple, green, and 

yellow triangles, diamonds, circles, and 

other geometric shapes have been 

painted on both sides of the wooden 

slats. The third Dilzini Gaan headdress 

is made of long wooden slats divided 

into three groups and connected by 

smaller wooden slats to create a fan 

shaped arc tied together with sinew. It 

measures approximately 26 inches wide 

and 40 inches high. Red, yellow, blue, 

purple, and green diamonds, scallops, 

triangles, and dots have been painted on 

both sides of the slats. Mirrors adhere to 

the longer slats and one mirror appears 

to be missing. Two tassels made of four 

slender yellow wooden rods are 

attached to the laterally projecting slats. 

There is no mask for the headdress. The 

fourth Dilzini Gaan headdress is made 

of wooden slats tied together with sinew 

arranged into three points. The 

headdress measures approximately 17 

inches wide and 18 inches high, is 

decorated with black, red, and purple 

chevrons and black dots on one side, 

and is decorated with black, green, red, 

and purple dots on the opposite side. 

Paragraphs 20 to 23 are also corrected 

by substituting the following: 

Consultation and physical inspection 

of the cultural items described above by 

knowledgeable Western Apache 

traditional cultural authorities of the 

San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San 

Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto 

Apache Tribe of Arizona; White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona; and 

Yavapai–Apache Nation of the Camp 

Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona have 

identified the cultural items as 

culturally affiliated with Western 

Apache Indian tribes. According to the 

traditional cultural authorities, the 

cultural items have ongoing historical, 

traditional, and cultural importance to 

the Western Apache, and today, must be 

returned to the tribes representing the 

Western Apache to fully complete the 

ceremonial cycle into which they were

15724 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices 

introduced; as such, the cultural items 

are objects of cultural patrimony. 

According to Western Apache 

traditional cultural authorities, the 56 

cultural items are made and handled 

according to instructions received from 

the Creator. The Creator is the only One 

who has the right to possess the cultural 

items after their use by humans. The 

cultural items must be put away 

properly to return them to the Creator; 

as such, the cultural items are sacred 

objects. The Western Apache are 

represented today by the federally 

recognized San Carlos Apache Tribe of 

the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; 

Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White 

Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort 

Apache Reservation, Arizona; and 

Yavapai–Apache Nation of the Camp 

Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. 

These four tribes are members of the 

Western Apache NAGPRA Working 

Group. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the objects of cultural 

patrimony/sacred objects should contact 

Dr. Duane H. King, Executive Director, 

or LaLena Lewark, Senior NAGPRA 

Coordinator, Southwest Museum of the 

American Indian, Autry National

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Thomas Burke Memorial Washington 

State Museum, University of 

Washington, Seattle, WA 

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 the Thomas 

Burke Memorial Washington State 

Museum (Burke Museum), University of 

Washington, Seattle, WA. The human 

remains were removed from Chelan 

County, WA. 

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. National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Burke Museum 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington and Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington. 

Sometime before 1948, human 

remains representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from Stehekin 

in Chelan County, WA, by Harold 

Wheeler. In 1948, the human remains 

were loaned to the Burke Museum by 

Mr. Wheeler (Burke Accn. #3512). No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were previously 

determined to not be Native American. 

After further review based on 

osteological information, the 

preponderance of the evidence 

identifies the human remains as Native 

American. 

According to early and late 

ethnographic documentation, the 

Stehekin area was occupied by the 

Chelan tribe and is their aboriginal land 

(Miller 1998; Ray 1936; Ruby and 

Brown 1986; and Spier 1936). 

Information provided during 

consultation by representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington confirms that 

the Chelan tribe traditionally occupied 

the Stehekin area. Descendants of the 

Chelan Tribe are members of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington. 

Officials of the Burke Museum 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 

Burke Museum 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 Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke 

Museum, University of Washington, Box 

353010, Seattle, WA 98195–3010, 

telephone (206) 685–2282, before May 2, 

2007. Repatriation of the human 

remains to the Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The Burke Museum is responsible for 

notifying the Confederated Tribes and 

Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington and Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington 

that this notice has been published.
