Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Notices 11583 

Washington University. The one 

associated funerary object is a bone tool. 

Documentation with the human 

remains states that the remains were 

recovered from ‘‘Colville’’ in Stevens 

County, WA. Based on osteological 

evidence and the associated funerary 

object, the human remains are Native 

American. The geographic location 

within the Plateau Culture Area, oral 

tradition, anthropological and historical 

research all indicate that the town of 

Colville lies within an area occupied by 

the San Poil and Nespelem tribes or 

bands, who are members of and legally 

represented by the Confederated Tribes 

of the Colville Reservation, Washington. 

Both the Colville and the Lakes tribes 

were part of the twelve tribes or bands 

that comprise the Confederated Tribes 

of the Colville Reservation, Washington. 

Determinations Made by the Central 

Washington University, Department of 

Anthropology 

Officials of Central Washington 

University Department of Anthropology 

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), 

the one object described above is 

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. 

• 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 object 

and the Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary object should

Department of Anthropology, 400 

University Drive, Ellensburg, WA 

98926–7544, telephone (509) 963–2671,

funerary object to the Confederated 

Tribes of the Colville Reservation, 

Washington, may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward.

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the professional 

staff at the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila 

National Forest, and the Field Museum 

of Natural History in consultation with 

representatives of the Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; 

and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 

Reservation, New Mexico (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

Between 1935 and 1955, human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were recovered from several sites in the 

Gila National Forest, Catron County, 

NM, by Dr. Paul Martin of the Field 

Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL. 

There have been several Notices of 

Inventory Completion (NICs) published 

in the Federal Register for human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

from these sites (63 FR 39293–39294, 

July 22, 1998; 70 FR 44686–44687, 

August 3, 2005; 70 FR 56483–56484, 

September 27, 2005; 71 FR 38413– 

38415, July 6, 2006; and 76 FR 43718– 

43719, July 21, 2011). Following these 

publications, the Gila National Forest 

and the Field Museum of Natural 

History staffs identified three additional 

sites on lands administered by the Gila 

National Forest. These sites are closely 

related to all of the other sites published 

in previous NICs and contain 

fragmentary human remains identified 

as Native American. 

Between 1935 and 1955, Paul Martin 

excavated the Cordova Cave site. 

Human remains representing six 

individuals were identified from the 

site. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Between 1935 and 1955, Paul Martin 

excavated the Hinkle Park Cliff 

Dwellings site. Human remains 

representing one individual were 

identified from the site. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Between 1935 and 1955, Paul Martin 

excavated the Pine Lawn Valley Pueblo 

site. Human remains representing one 

individual were identified from the site. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on material culture, 

architecture and site organization, the 

sites have been identified as Upland 

Mogollon sites. Continuities of 

ethnographic materials, technology and 

architecture indicate affiliation of 

Upland Mogollon sites with historic and 

present-day Puebloan cultures. Oral 

traditions presented by representatives 

of The Tribes support cultural affiliation 

with these Upland Mogollon sites in 

this portion of southwestern New 

Mexico. 

Determinations Made by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Gila National Forest 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila 

National Forest have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of eight 

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 human remains and The 

Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Frank E. Wozniak, 

NAGPRA Coordinator, Southwestern 

Region, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

Forest Service, 333 Broadway Blvd. SE, 

Albuquerque, NM 87102, telephone

Repatriation of the human remains to 

The Tribes may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

Forest Service, Gila National Forest is 

responsible for notifying The Tribes that 

this notice has been published.
