SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains and associated

removed from the State of Indiana. 

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. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Heard 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of 

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the 

Cheyenne River Reservation, South 

Dakota; Miami Tribe of Oklahoma; and 

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 

Berthold Reservation, North Dakota. 

History and Description of the Remains 

Prior to 1991, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individuals were removed from an 

otherwise unidentified Hopewell site in 

the State of Indiana. In 1991, the 

remains were found in the Heard 

Museum collection and assigned catalog 

number NA–MIS–PR–T–1. The 

individual is believed to be a male aged 

18–25. No known individuals were 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is a hoof core of either a deer or 

antelope. Hopewell culture flourished 

from approximately A.D. 1 to 500 in 

Indiana. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma 

is culturally affiliated with Indiana 

Hopewell remains. 

Determinations Made by the Heard 

Museum 

Officials of the Heard Museum have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
