for Chiropractic History, Palmer

College of Chiropractic, Davenport, IA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the possession of the Palmer

Foundation for Chiropractic History,

Davenport, IA.

This notice is published as part of the

National Park Service’s administrative

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR

10.2(c). The determinations within this

notice are the sole responsibility of the

museum, institution, or Federal agency

that has control of these Native

American human remains and

associated funerary objects. The

National Park Service is not responsible

for the determinations within this

notice.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Palmer

Foundation for Chiropractic History

professional staff in consultation with

representatives of the Seneca-Cayuga

Tribe of Oklahoma, the Tonawanda

Band of Seneca Indians of New York,

the Haudenosaunee Standing

Committee on Burials and Regulations,

and the Seneca Nation of New York.

At an unknown time prior to 1960,

human remains representing one

individual were removed from an

unknown location in Baldwinsville, NY,

by unknown persons. They were

donated to the Palmer School of

Chiropractic prior to 1960 by an

unknown person. No known individual

was identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Museum records and osteological

characteristics identify these human

remains as Native American. The degree

of preservation of these remains

indicates a date of burial within the last

millennium. Consultation with

representatives of the Seneca Nation of

New York indicates that Baldwinsville,

NY, is located within the traditional

territory of the Seneca people, and

indicates that a relationship exists

between these human remains and the

Seneca people. Officials of the Palmer

Foundation for Chiropractic History

have found it reasonable to affiliate

these remains, based on consultation

results, with the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of

Oklahoma, the Tonawanda Band of

Seneca Indians of New York, and the

Seneca Nation of New York.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Palmer

Foundation for Chiropractic History

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains

listed above represent the physical

remains of one individual of Native

American ancestry. Officials of the

Palmer Foundation for Chiropractic

History also have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

that can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of

Oklahoma, the Tonawanda Band of

Seneca Indians of New York, and the

Seneca Nation of New York.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of

Oklahoma, the Tonawanda Band of

Seneca Indians of New York, the

Haudenosaunee Standing Committee on

Burials and Regulations, and the Seneca

Nation of New York. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

human remains should contact Alana

Callender, Palmer Foundation for

Chiropractic History, Palmer College of

Chiropractic, 1000 Brady Street,

Davenport, IA 52803, telephone (319)

884–5404, before December 21, 2000.

In 1929, partial human remains

representing 19 individuals were

recovered from the Great Gully site

(Young Farm, Aub 003) in Ledyard,

Cayuga County, NY, by Harrison Follett

during an expedition conducted by the

Rochester Municipal Museum (now the

Rochester Museum and Science Center).

No known individuals were identified.

No associated funerary objects are

present.

Based on skeletal morphology, these

individuals have been identified as

Native American. Based on site location

and the condition of the human

remains, the Great Gully site has been

identified as a Cayuga occupation, and

possibly the site of the Jesuit mission of

St. Joseph to the Cayugas, dating to circa

A.D. 1650–1687.

In 1935, human remains representing

13 individuals were recovered from the

Elmer Rogers site (Wpt 001) in

Savannah, Wayne County, NY, by Dr.

William A. Ritchie during a field

expedition conducted by the Rochester

Museum of Arts and Sciences (now

Rochester Museum and Science Center).

No known individuals were identified.

The 61 associated funerary objects are 1

ceramic pipe bowl, 1 sword blade, 1

iron fishhook, 1 antler powder measure,

1 iron knife, 1 sharpening stone, 4

animal ribs, 1 iron dirk, 1 saw, 2 iron

2 brass kettles, 1 bone-handled iron

knife, 1 iron drill, 2 brass and wood

fragments, 19 worked pieces of shell, 1

iron axe, 1 bear canine, and 3 spherical

glass beads.

Based on skeletal morphology, these

individuals have been identified as

Native American. Based on site location,

the condition of the human remains,

and continuities of material culture, the

Elmer Rogers site has been identified as

a Cayuga occupation, and possibly the

site of the Jesuit mission of St. Rene to

the Cayugas, dating to circa A.D. 1668–

1684.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Rochester

Museum and Science Center have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2(d)(1), the human remains listed

above represent the physical remains of

32 individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Rochester

Museum and Science Center also have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

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.

Lastly, officials of the Rochester
