Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains from

Gooseberry Valley, Utah in the Control

of the Fishlake National Forest, USDA

Forest Service, Richfield, UT

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 from Gooseberry Valley, Utah

in the control of the Fishlake National

Forest, USDA Forest Service, Richfield,

UT.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by University of Utah

Museum of Natural History, University

of Utah Department of Anthropology,

and USDA Forest Service professional

staff in consultation with

representatives of the Duckwater

Shoshone Tribe, Fort McDermitt Paiute

and Shoshone Tribes, Hopi Tribe,

Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Navajo

Nation, Northwestern Band of Shoshoni

Nation, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah,

Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of Pojoaque,

Pueblo of San Felipe, Pueblo of San

Ildefonso, Pueblo of Sandia, Pueblo of

Santa Ana, Pueblo of Santa Clara,

Pueblo of Santo Domingo, Pueblo of Zia,

Pueblo of Zuni, Shoshone-Bannock

Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation,

Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck

Valley Reservation, Skull Valley Band of

Goshute Indians, Southern Paiute

Consortium (on behalf of the Kaibab

Paiute Band, Cedar City Paiute Band,

Indian Peak Paiute Band, Kanosh Paiute

Band, Koosharem Paiute Band, Las

Vegas Paiute Band, Moapa Paiute Band,

and Shivwits Paiute Band), Southern

Ute Indian Tribe, Summit Lake Paiute

Tribe, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Ute

Tribe of the Unitah and Ouray

Reserveration, and the Yomba Shoshone

Tribe.

During the 1980s, human remains

representing one individual were

recovered from Warezit House (42SV

1060) in the Fishlake National Forest

during legally authorized excavations

conducted by University of Utah

Department of Anthropology and

currently curated at the Utah Museum

of Natural History. No known

individual was identified. No associated

funerary objects are present.

Based on material culture of the site,

the Warezit House site has been

identified as a Fremont occupation

dating between 780–1260 A.D. Based on

the context of the burial, this individual

as been identified as Native American.

On review of the available evidence

concerning Fremont culture and

settlement of this area, continuties of

agriculture, basketry, and ceramics

indicate affiliation between the Fremont

of this area and later puebloan groups.

Additionally, continuities of ceramics

and projectile point chronologies also

indicate cultural affiliation between the

Fremont of this area and the historic

Numic-speaking groups identified in the

area during the contact period.

Consultation evidence provided by

representatives of the Hopi Tribe, the

Paiute Tribe of Utah, the Pueblo of Zuni,

and the Ute Tribe of the Unitah and

Ouray Reservation have presented data

from oral traditions that indicate

ancestral groups and/or specific clans or

lineages from their cultures inhabited

portions of the area associated with the

Fremont from the very earliest times

onward.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the USDA

Forest Service 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. While not

clearly culturally affiliated, officials of

the USDA National Forest Service have

further determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(2)(C), there is a

reasonable belief of shared group

identity given the totality of the

circumstances surrounding the

acquisition of these Native American

human remains with the Hopi Tribe, the

Paiute Tribe of Utah, the Pueblo of Zuni,

and the Ute Tribe of the Unitah and

Ouray Reservation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe, Fort

McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribes,

Hopi Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute

Indians, Navajo Nation, Northwestern

Band of Shoshoni Nation, Paiute Indian

Tribe of Utah, Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo

of Pojoaque, Pueblo of San Felipe,

Pueblo of San Ildefonso, Pueblo of

Sandia, Pueblo of Santa Ana, Pueblo of

Santa Clara, Pueblo of Santo Domingo,

Pueblo of Zia, Pueblo of Zuni,

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort

Hall Reservation, Shoshone-Paiute

Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation,

Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians,

Southern Paiute Consortium (on behalf

of the the Kaibab Paiute Band, Cedar

City Paiute Band, Indian Peak Paiute

Band, Kanosh Paiute Band, Koosharem

Paiute Band, Las Vegas Paiute Band,

Moapa Paiute Band, and Shivwits

Paiute Band), Southern Ute Indian

Tribe, Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, Ute

Mountain Ute Tribe, Ute Tribe of the

Unitah and Ouray Reserveration, Yomba

Shoshone Tribe. Representatives of any

other Indian tribe that believes itself to

be culturally affiliated with these

human remains should contact Robert

National Forest, 115 East 900 North,

Richfield, UT 84602–3600; telephone:

(801) 896–9233, before June 12, 1998.

Repatriation of the human remains to

the Hopi Tribe, the Paiute Tribe of Utah,

the Pueblo of Zuni, and the Ute Tribe

of the Unitah and Ouray Reservation

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

The National Park Service is not

responsible for the determinations

within this notice.
