National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural

Item from New Mexico in the

Possession of the Museum of Northern

Arizona, Flagstaff, AZ

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 43 CFR 10.10 (a)(3), of

the intent to repatriate a cultural item

from New Mexico in the possession of

the Museum of Northern Arizona which

meets the definition of ‘‘sacred object’’

under Section 2 of the Act.

The cultural item is a Navajo Male

and Female Shooting Way Chant

bundle.

In 1968, this bundle was donated to

the Museum of Northern Arizona by an

individual whose name is withheld at

the Museum of Northern Arizona’s

request. According to museum

documentation, this individual had

acquired this bundle sometime earlier

from a ‘‘chanter from Clearwater’’ (near

Farmington, NM).

Museum documentation and

consultation with representatives of the

Navajo Nation clearly establish that this

bundle is a product of Navajo culture.

Representatives of the Navajo Nation

have also indicated that this bundle is

needed by traditional religious leaders

for the practice of traditional Native

American religion by their present-day

adherents.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Museum of

Northern Arizona have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(3), this

cultural item is a specific ceremonial

object needed by traditional Native

American religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religions by their present-day adherents.

Officials of the Museum of Northern

Arizona have also determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

this item 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 David R. Wilcox,

NAGPRA Coordinator, Museum of

Northern Arizona, 3101 North Fort

Valley Rd., Flagstaff, AZ 86001;

telephone (520) 774–5211, ext. 244

before July 2, 1998. Repatriation of this

object to the Navajo Nation may begin

after that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: May 27, 1998.

Departmental Consulting Archeologist,

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains from

Port Huron, MI in the Possession of the

Port Huron Museum, Port Huron, MI

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 in the possession of the Port

Huron Museum, Port Huron, MI.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Port Huron

Museum professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of

Michigan; and the Walpole Island First

Nation, ONT, Canada.

In 1971, human remains representing

one individual were recovered from

Lakeside Beach on Lake Huron (north of

Port Huron) by an unknown individual

and donated to the Port Huron Museum

in 1972. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Based on the location of the remains

and the state of preservation, this

individual has been determined to be

Native American. In 1985, the Port

Huron Museum deaccessioned all

Native American human remains in its

collections and turned them over to a

representative of the Walpole Island

First Nation. Although included in the

1985 deaccessioning, the human

remains noted above were accidently

overlooked and discovered in the

Museum’s collections in 1998.

The human remains listed above

constitute newly-found items from a

previously repatriated collection.

Because the previous repatriated

collection was returned prior to the

enactment of NAGPRA, this notice is

being published to document the return

of human remains as part of an action

on a repatriation request pending on the

date of NAGPRA’s enactment. As the

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of

Michigan and the Walpole Island First

Nation communities are culturally

related and working in cooperation

regarding repatriation activities, this

pending repatriation request will now

involve the Saginaw Chippewa Indian

Tribe of Michigan.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Port Huron

Museum 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. Officials of

the Port Huron Museum have not

determined the cultural affiliation of

these Native American human remains

because, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3009 (2),

these human remains are part of an

action on a repatriation request pending

on the date of enactment of NAPGRA

and will therefore be repatriated to the

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of

Michigan.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe

of Michigan and Walpole Island First

Nation of Canada. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes it

may have an interest in these human

remains should contact Stephen R.

Williams, Director, Port Huron Museum,

1115 Sixth Street, Port Huron, MI

48060; telephone: (810) 982–0891.

Dated: May 21, 1998.
