SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Reclamation 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. 

Representatives from the Wichita and 

Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, 

Waco, & Tawakonie), Oklahoma were 

also contacted but declined to consult, 

on the basis that the land from which 

the human remains were removed is 

outside of the Tribe’s traditional 

territory. 

History and Description of the Remains 

On July 1, 1982, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the Little 

Axe Skeletal Remains Site (34CL210) in 

Cleveland County, OK. The burial was 

discovered by a visitor to Little River 

State Park, who noted the presence 

human remains exposed by erosion on 

an access road within the state park near 

Clear Bay and reported the exposed 

human remains at the Little Axe 

Grocery store, whereupon a store 

employee contacted state park officials. 

Larry Neal of the Oklahoma 

Archaeological Society notified 

Reclamation archeologists of the 

discovery on July 6, 1982. After 

consulting with the Oklahoma State 

Medical Examiner’s Office and the 

Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians of 

Oklahoma, Reclamation archeologists 

removed the human remains and took 

them to the Reclamation office in 

Amarillo, TX. Beginning in December of 

1982, the human remains were curated 

at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, St. 

Gregory College in Shawnee, OK. On 

May 23, 1995, the human remains were 

moved to the Museum of the Great 

Plains in Lawton, OK, by Hector Garcia 

and placed on a one-year loan. The 

individual is represented by a nearly 

complete skeleton. The remains 

probably belong to a male 18–20 years 

old. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present.
