basis in accordance with Executive 

Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources, will be given due 

consideration. Federal, State, and local 

agencies, along with tribes and other 

stakeholders that may be interested in or 

affected by the proposed action that the 

BLM is evaluating, are invited to 

participate in the scoping process and, 

if eligible, may request or be requested 

by the BLM to participate in the 

development of the environmental 

analysis as a cooperating agency. 

The BLM will evaluate identified 

issues to be addressed in the plan, and 

will place them into one of three 

categories: 

1. Issues to be resolved in the 

analysis; 

2. Issues to be resolved through policy 

or administrative action; or 

3. Issues beyond the scope of the 

Supplemental EIS and potential RMP 

amendment. 

The BLM will provide an explanation 

in the Draft Supplemental EIS as to why 

an issue was placed in category two or 

three. The public is also encouraged to 

help identify any management questions 

and concerns that should be addressed 

in the plan. The BLM will work 

collaboratively with interested parties to 

identify the management decisions that 

are best suited to local, regional, 

national needs, and concerns. The BLM 

will use an interdisciplinary approach 

to develop the Supplemental EIS and, if 

necessary, RMP amendment, in order to 

consider the variety of resource issues 

and concerns identified. Specialists 

with expertise in the following 

disciplines will be involved in the 

planning process: Hydrology, air, 

archaeology, paleontology, wildlife 

biology, oil and gas, geology, sociology 

and economics.

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 and associated 

funerary objects under the control of the 

Binghamton University, Binghamton, 

NY. The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

Chenango County, NY. 

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 Binghamton 

University professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Cayuga Nation; Delaware Nation, 

Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; 

Oneida Nation (previously listed as the 

Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin); 

Oneida Indian Nation (previously listed 

as the Oneida Nation of New York); 

Onondaga Nation; Saint Regis Mohawk 

Tribe (previously listed as the St. Regis 

Band of Mohawk Indians of New York); 

Seneca Nation of Indians (previously 

listed as the Seneca Nation of New 

York); Seneca-Cayuga Nation 

(previously listed as the Seneca-Cayuga 

Tribe of Oklahoma); Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin; 

Tonawanda Band of Seneca (previously 

listed as the Tonawanda Band of Seneca 

Indians of New York); and Tuscarora 

Nation. 

History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime before 1975, human 

remains representing, at minimum, 

three individuals were removed from an 

unknown site in Chenango County, NY, 

possibly the Bates Site. An unknown 

individual donated the human remains 

to the Greene Middle School in the 

Town of Greene, Chenango County, NY 

in 1975. According to the teacher 

interviewed, the human remains came 

from an area that is near (or overlaps) 

the previously recorded Bates site, a 

Late Woodland settlement. The Greene 

Middle School gave the human remains 

to Binghamton University. No known 

individuals were identified. There are 

no associated funerary objects. 

A bioarchaeologist and archaeologist 

from Binghamton University 

determined that the human remains 

were Native American. Archeological 

information from the Bates site includes 

Canandaigua Phase (Sackett Corded) 

pottery and radiocarbon dates that 

cluster around A.D. 1190. 

Haudenosaunee oral tradition states 

that, as The People of the Long House, 

they are affiliated culturally, spiritually, 

biologically, and personally to the 

ancestors located within their 

traditional aboriginal territories. This 

connection is also based upon cultural 

practices, language, and the philosophy 

of respect for those ancestors that have 

passed. This evidence supports a 

relationship of shared group identity 

which can reasonably be traced between 

the Oneida Nation (previously listed as 

the Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin); Oneida Indian Nation 

(previously listed as the Oneida Nation 

of New York); Onondaga Nation; and 

Tuscarora Nation and the human 

remains removed from Chenango 

County, as this location is within the 

traditional aboriginal territory of the 

Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora 

Nations. 

Determinations Made by the 

Binghamton University 

Officials of the Binghamton 

University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals 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 associated funerary objects 

and Oneida Nation (previously listed as 

the Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin); Oneida Indian Nation 

(previously listed as the Oneida Nation 

of New York); Onondaga Nation; and 

Tuscarora Nation. 

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 and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Nina M. Versaggi, Public 

Archaeology Facility, Binghamton 

University, P.O. Box 6000, Binghamton, 

NY 13902–6000, telephone (607) 777– 

4786, email nversagg@binghamton.edu, 

by September 7, 2018. After that date, if 

no additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to Oneida Nation (previously 

listed as the Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin); Oneida Indian Nation 

(previously listed as the Oneida Nation 

of New York); Onondaga Nation; and 

Tuscarora Nation may proceed. 

The Binghamton University is 

responsible for notifying the Cayuga 

Nation; Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; 

Delaware Tribe of Indians; Oneida 

Nation (previously listed as the Oneida 

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin); Oneida 

Indian Nation (previously listed as the 

Oneida Nation of New York); Onondaga 

Nation; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe 

(previously listed as the St. Regis Band 

of Mohawk Indians of New York); 

Seneca Nation of Indians (previously 

listed as the Seneca Nation of New 

York); Seneca-Cayuga Nation 

(previously listed as the Seneca-Cayuga 

Tribe of Oklahoma); Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin; 

Tonawanda Band of Seneca (previously 

listed as the Tonawanda Band of Seneca 

Indians of New York); and Tuscarora 

Nation that this notice has been 

published.
