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 WWU, and 

additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in its inventory or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible

Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

During a repatriation and rehousing 

project in 2016, a WWU osteologist 

identified a single human remain in an 

unlabeled bag. Inside the bag, was a slip 

of paper indicating it was from ‘‘Dr. 

Kenyon’s Teaching Collection, Oneida 

County, Rome, New York.’’ No known 

individuals were identified. No 

hazardous chemicals are known to have 

been used to treat the human remains or 

associated funerary objects while in the 

custody of WWU. 

The human remains in this notice are 

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 

information, archaeological information, 

geographical information, historical 

information, and oral tradition. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The WWU has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains described in this notice 

and the Oneida Indian Nation. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the authorized representative 

identified in this notice under 

ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation 

may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. 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 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization with cultural affiliation. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after October 10, 2024. 

If competing requests for repatriation 

are received, the WWU must determine 

the most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The WWU is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice.
