SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of 

the Heard Museum, Phoenix, AZ. The 

human remains were removed from 

Camp Verde, Yavapai County, AZ. 

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. 

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; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Hualapai 

Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Three Affiliated 

Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, 

North Dakota; Yavapai-Apache Nation 

of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe 

(previously listed as the YavapaiPrescott Tribe of the Yavapai 

Reservation, Arizona); and Zuni Tribe of 

the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. 

History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime prior to 1991, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Camp 

Verde in Yavapai County, AZ. The 

circumstances surrounding the removal 

are unknown. In 1991, the human 

remains were in the collection of the 

Heard Museum and were assigned the 

catalog number NA–SW–PR–T–1. The 

human remains are those of an adult. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on consultation, the Camp 

Verde provenience, the type of burial 

(inhumation), and the presence of 

copper oxide stains which are often 

found on burials in the Tuzigoot area 

(Caywood and Spicer 1935:99–100; 

Wilcox 1987:128), the Heard Museum 

has determined that these human 

remains belong to the Sinagua culture. 

The Sinagua period was from A.D. 600 

to A.D. 1450. The following present-day 

Indian Tribes descend from the Sinagua 

culture: Ak-Chin Indian Community 

(previously listed as the Ak Chin Indian 

Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) 

Indian Reservation, Arizona); Fort 

McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; 

Gila River Indian Community of the Gila 

River Indian Reservation, Arizona; 

Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai 

Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the 

Hualapai Indian Reservation, Arizona; 

Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; Yavapai-Apache 

Nation of the Camp Verde Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Yavapai-Prescott 

Indian Tribe (previously listed as the 

Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of the Yavapai 

Reservation, Arizona); and Zuni Tribe of 

the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

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(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and The Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit 

a written request with information in 

support of the request to David Roche, 

Director/CEO, Heard Museum, 2301 

North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 

85004, telephone (602) 252–8840, email 

director@heard.org, by August 13, 2018. 

After that date, if no additional 

requestors have come forward, transfer 

of control of the human remains to The 

Tribes may proceed. 

The Heard Museum is responsible for 

notifying The Tribes that this notice has 

been published.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices 32321 

unassociated funerary objects 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 Superintendent, Grand Canyon 

National Park. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

In 1935, three cultural items were 

removed from GC 62 in Coconino 

County, AZ, during a vegetation project 

by the Works Progress Administration 

and the National Park Service. The three 

objects were kept by Claude A. Wagner 

Jr. until 1974 when he donated them to 

Grand Canyon National Park. The three 

unassociated funerary objects are one 

copper bracelet and two metal bells. 

GC 62 is described as a cremation site, 

about six feet in diameter with evidence 

of a large fire. No human remains were 

collected from GC 62. The site is located 

in an area traditionally used by the 

Havasupai Tribe and cremation was a 

Havasupai burial practice. The 

Havasupai Tribal Council has identified 

the items as likely coming from a tribal 

cremation. 

Determinations Made by Grand Canyon 

National Park 

Officials of Grand Canyon National 

Park have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the three cultural items 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 and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Christine Lehnertz, Superintendent, 

Grand Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 

129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, 

telephone (928) 638–7945, email chris_

lehnertz@nps.gov, by August 13, 2018. 

After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the unassociated funerary 

objects to the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona may 

proceed. 

Grand Canyon National Park is 

responsible for notifying the Havasupai 

Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation, 

Arizona that this notice has been 

published.
