SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the University of 

California, Riverside. The National Park 

Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Additional information on the 

amendments and determinations in this 

notice, including the results of

University of California, Riverside. 

Amendment 

This notice amends the 

determinations published in a Notice of 

Inventory Completion in the Federal 

Register (69 FR 15379–15380, March 25, 

2004). Repatriation of the items in the 

original Notice of Inventory Completion 

has not occurred. The amendment is 

being made to reflect the addition of 

newly identified associated funerary 

objects for two of the collections listed 

in the original notice. 

For CA–RIV–2199, the original notice 

only listed human remains, but tribal 

representatives have reviewed the 

remaining objects in the collection and 

have identified 14 lots of associated 

funerary objects. These objects include 

one lot of ceramics, one lot of unfired 

clay, one lot of glass, one lot of lithics, 

one lot of metal, one lot of plastic, one 

lot of rubber, one lot of shell beads, one 

lot of faunal bones, one lot of fabric, one 

lot of floral materials, one lot of 

geological materials, one lot of 

unmodified shell, and one lot firealtered rock. 

For CA–RIV–4169 the original notice 

only listed human remains, but tribal 

representatives have reviewed the 

remaining objects in the collections and 

have identified six lots of associated 

funerary objects. These objects include 

two lots of ceramics, one lot of shell 

beads, one lot of faunal bones, one lot

of unmodified shells, and one lot of 

glass. 

Determinations (as Amended) 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Riverside has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this amended notice represent the 

physical remains of three individuals of 

Native American ancestry. 

• The 20 lots of objects described in 

this amended notice 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. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Agua Caliente Band 

of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua Caliente 

Indian Reservation, California; 

Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, 

California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla 

Indians (Previously listed as Cabazon 

Band of Mission Indians, California);

Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural 

Items: Beloit College, Logan Museum 

of Anthropology, Beloit, WI 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Beloit 

College, Logan Museum of 

Anthropology (LMA) intends to 

repatriate a cultural item that meets the 

definition of an unassociated funerary 

object that has a cultural affiliation with 

the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations in this notice. The 

cultural item was removed from 

Ashland County, WI. 

DATES: Repatriation of the cultural item 

in this notice may occur on or after 

February 15, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Nicolette B. Meister, Logan 

Museum of Anthropology, 700 College 

Street, Beloit, WI 53511, telephone (608) 

363–2305, email meistern@beloit.edu. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the LMA. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of the consultation, can be 

found in the summary or related records 

held by the LMA. 

Description 

One cultural item was removed from 

Feature 171, Burial 4 of the Marina site 

(47As24) in Ashland County, WI. In 

1975, an excavation was directed by 

Robert J. Salzer under an agreement 

between Beloit College and the 

Interagency Archeological Services 

branch of the National Park Service. The 

one unassociated funerary object is 

wooden plank (7302.6). 

La Pointe is the traditional home of 

the Lake Superior Ojibwa. Burial 4 dates 

to circa 1760–1770 and the assemblage 

is consistent with Ojibwa burials of the 

Late Historic period (1760–1820). The 

associated human remains are not in the 

possession or control of a Federal 

agency or museum because all human 

remains excavated from the site were 

transferred in 1976 from Beloit College 

to the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The cultural item in this notice is 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archeological, geographical, historical, 

and oral tradition. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the LMA has determined 

that: 

• The one cultural item 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 and is believed, by a 

preponderance of the evidence, to have 

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the cultural item and the 

Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES. 

Requests for repatriation may be 

submitted by any lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

who shows, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, that the requestor is a lineal 

descendant or a culturally affiliated
