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 and associated 

funerary objects under the control of the 

USDA Forest Service, Kaibab National 

Forest. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from the North Kaibab Ranger 

District, Coconino County, AZ. 

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 and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Kaibab 

National Forest professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Kaibab Band of 

Paiute Indians of the Kaibab Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Navajo Nation, 

Arizona New Mexico & Utah; San Juan 

Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; and 

Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New 

Mexico. 

History and Description of the Remains 

On August 24, 1985, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

North Kaibab Ranger District in 

Coconino County, AZ. On August 23, 

1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s 

Office was contacted in regards to 

human skeletal remains that were 

discovered by a hunter on the North 

Kaibab Ranger District. On August 24, 

1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s 

Office conducted an investigation in the 

area and collected the human remains. 

On August 26, 1985, an anthropologist 

examined the remains and concluded 

that the skeleton was that of a female 

around 50–55 years of age at death and 

approximately 5’0’’ to 5’2’’ in stature. 

The examiner further concluded that the 

remains are possibly from a Hispanic 

individual, but are more likely from a 

Native American person. The 

examination surmised that the 

individual may have died of exposure in 

the 1930s or earlier based on the 

condition of the remains. On November 

14, 1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s 

Office closed the case and turned the 

remains over to Northern Arizona 

University. Later, the remains were 

moved to the Coconino County 

Coroner’s Office in Flagstaff, AZ. In 

2012, the Coconino County Coroner’s 

Office notified the Kaibab National 

Forest of the remains. The five 

associated funerary objects are two 

metal belt buckles, two steel rings, and 

one lot of fragments of a leather horse 

halter with brass rivets. 

Sherriff’s Office detectives and the 

medical examiner dated the remains to 

the 1930s or earlier. Interviews 

conducted during the investigation 

indicated the remains may be affiliated 

with the Paiute people. The area where 

the remains were located is within the 

traditional use area of the Kaibab Band 

of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab Indian 

Reservation, Arizona. 

Determinations Made by the USDA 

Forest Service, Kaibab National Forest 

Officials of the USDA Forest Service, 

Kaibab National Forest 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 five objects described in this 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. 

• 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 objects 

and the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians 

of the Kaibab Indian Reservation, 

Arizona. 

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 and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Michael R Williams, 

Forest Supervisor, Kaibab National 

Forest, 800 S 6th St, Williams, AZ 

86046, telephone (928) 635–8200, email 

mrwilliams01@fs.fed.us by April 15, 

2015. After that date, if no additional 

requestors have come forward, transfer 

of control of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the Kaibab 

Band of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab 

Indian Reservation, Arizona, may 

proceed. 

The Kaibab National Forest is 

responsible for notifying the Hopi Tribe 

of Arizona; Kaibab Band of Paiute 

Indians of the Kaibab Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Navajo Nation, 

Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; San Juan 

Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; and 

Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New 

Mexico, that this notice has been 

published.
