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

Natural and Cultural History, Eugene, 

OR. The human remains were removed 

from a location northwest of Nixon, 

Washoe County, NV. 

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

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the University of 

Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 

History professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of the 

Pyramid Lake Reservation, Nevada. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1950, human remains representing 

one individual were removed from an 

eroding area along Route 33, about one 

mile south of the extreme end of 

Pyramid Lake, Washoe County, NV. In 

1950 the human remains were donated 

to the museum by the private party who 

initially recovered them. The human 

remains (cat. #11–257) represent a 

single adult male. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Historical documents, ethnographic 

sources, and oral history indicate that 

the Northern Paiute have occupied the 

Pyramid Lake region since precontact 

times. Based on skeletal evidence, the 

remains were determined to be of Native 

American ancestry and Northern Paiute. 

The Northern Paiute are represented 

today by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe 

of the Pyramid Lake Reservation, 

Nevada. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Oregon Museum of Natural and 

Cultural History 

Officials of the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

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 Pyramid Lake Paiute 

Tribe of the Pyramid Lake Reservation, 

Nevada. 

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 Dr. Pamela
