AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

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

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the control of the Idaho State Office,

Bureau of Land Management, Boise, ID.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Bureau of Land

Management professional staff in

consultation with representatives of

Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck

Valley Reservation, Shoshone-Bannock

Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation, and

the Northwestern Band of Shoshoni

Indians of Utah.

In 1965, human remains representing

two individuals were recovered from

site 10LH 66, Lemhi County, ID during

legally authorized excavations by the

Idaho State University Museum. No

known individuals were identified. The

31 associated funerary objects include

glass beads, leather, harness fragments,

metal buttons, a metal bracelet, textile

fragments, and metal ornament

fragments.

The presence and types of associated

funerary objects indicates these

individuals are Native American. The

associated funerary objects are

consistent with 19th century burials of

the Lemhi Band of the ShoshoneBannock Tribes who lived in this region

until moved to the Fort Hall Reservation

in 1907.

In 1996, one unassociated funerary

object, a stone point, was located during

the Bureau of Land Management’s

review of collections. This unassociated

funerary object was originally associated

with human remains and other

associated funerary objects reburied in

1982 following criminal investigation of

the looting and vandalizing of site 10LH

412, within the Lemhi reservation

cemetery, by person(s) unknown. No

known individuals were identified

during this incident.

The Lehmi reservation cemetery (site

10LH 412) is a known historical

cemetery of the Lehmi Band of the

Shoshone-Bannock tribes. The Lehmi

Band left the Lehmi Reservation in 1907

and went to the Fort Hall Reservation.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Bureau of

Land Management have determined

that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of two individuals

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Bureau of Land Management have

also determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d), the 32 objects listed 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 Bureau of Land

Management have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

a relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and associated funerary objects and the

Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck

Valley Reservation, Shoshone-Bannock

Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation, and

the Northwestern Band of Shoshoni

Indians of Utah.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the

Duck Valley Reservation, ShoshoneBannock Tribes of the Fort Hall

Reservation, and the Northwestern Band

of Shoshoni Indians of Utah.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Daniel J. Hutchinson, State

Office Archeologist, Idaho State Office,

Bureau of Land Management, 1387

South Vinnell Way, Boise, ID 83709;

telephone: (203) 373–3816, before

September 12, 1997. Repatriation of the

human remains and associated funerary

objects to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of

the Duck Valley Reservation, ShoshoneBannock Tribes of the Fort Hall

Reservation, and the Northwestern Band

of Shoshoni Indians of Utah may begin

after that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: July 23, 1997.

Francis P. McManamon,

Departmental Consulting Archeologist,

Manager, Archeology and Ethnography

Program.
