National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of the Arizona

State Museum, University of Arizona,

Tucson, AZ

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate cultural items

in the possession of the Arizona State

Museum which meet the definition of

‘‘object of cultural patrimony’’ under

Section 2 of the Act.

The cultural items consist of two

Kehtahn Yelte, or Twin Fetishes. The

fetishes are made of two stones wrapped

with yarn.

Prior to 1942, one Kehtahn Yelte was

collected by Mary Cabot Wheelwright

and donated to the Arizona State

Museum in December, 1942. Also prior

to 1942, the second Kehtahn Yelte was

collected by Mrs. Margaret Scheville

and donated to the Arizona State

Museum in April, 1942. The only other

accession information is that the

cultural items are Navajo.

These Kehtahn Yelte are used in

several Navajo ceremonies, including

Tl’ee’ji (Night Way), Dzilk’ji (Mountain

Top Way), and Hozhoo ji (Blessing

Way). Consultation evidence provided

by representatives of the Navajo Nation

indicates the Kehtahn Yelte should

never be taken outside the four

mountains of the Dinetah, nor can they

be ‘‘owned’’ by any individual who is

not a chanter.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Arizona

State Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), these

two cultural items have ongoing

historical, traditional, and cultural

importance central to the culture itself,

and could not have been alienated,

appropriated, or conveyed by any

individual. Further, officials of the

Arizona State Museum have also

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001 (2), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these items

and the Navajo Nation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Navajo Nation. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact Dr. Nancy

Odegaard, Conservator and Acting

Curatory of Collections, Arizona State

Museum, University of Arizona,

Tucson, AZ 85721; telephone (520) 621–

6314 before April 25, 1997. Repatriation

of these objects to the Navajo Nation

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: March 11, 1997.

Departmental Consulting Archeologist,

Manager, Archeology and Ethnography

Program.

BILLING CODE 4310–70–F

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains

From the Vicinity of Juneau, AK, in the

Possession of the Alaska State

Museum, Juneau, AK

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains from the vicinity of Juneau, AK,

in the possession of the Alaska State

Museum, Juneau, AK.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Alaska State

Museum professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Auk Kwaan Tlingit Clan and the Central

Council of Tlingit and Haida Tribes of

Alaska.

In 1949, human remains representing

one individual were donated to the

Alaska State Museum by John Harris.

Accession information indicates this

individual came from Shaman Island,

northwest of Douglas Island and

identified by John Harris as possibly the

skull of Teetklen. No associated

funerary objects are present.

In 1957, human remains representing

one individual was removed from

Mendenhall Valley and presented to the

Alaska State Museum by the U.S. Forest

Service. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present. Officials of the U.S.

Forest Service have reviewed the

inventory information, and support and

concur with the findings of the Alaska

State Museum.

At an unknown date, human remains

representing one individual were

donated to the Alaska State Museum

after being recovered from federal or

private lands in the area of Norway

Point. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Although the actual circumstances of

the recovery of these individuals is

unknown, it is likely that one individual

was recovered on Shaman Island, a

known burial area for the Auk Kwaan

Tlingit, the second individual was

possibly recovered during highway

construction on U.S. Forest Service or

private lands in the Mendenhall Valley,

and the third individual may have been

recovered during construction on public

or private lands in the area of Norway

Point. Morphological evidence indicates

these individuals are Native American

based on anatomical structure.

Consultation evidence presented by

representatives of the Auk Kwaan

Tlingit Clan and the Central Council of

Tlingit and Haida Tribes of Alaska

indicates that Tlingit peoples have

inhabited southeastern Alaska for

thousands of years.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Alaska State

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of three

individuals of Native American

ancestry. Lastly, officials of the Alaska

State Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

a relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and the Central Council of Tlingit and

Haida Tribes of Alaska.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Auk Kwaan Tlingit Clan and the
