Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices 10759 

The notice published in the Federal 

Register (63 FR 49025–49026, 

September 18, 1997) is corrected by 

substituting paragraphs 7–9 with the 

following: 

Between 1979 and 1980, human 

remains representing 193 individuals 

were recovered from 11 prehistoric sites 

within the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project 

in the Santa Rita Mountains, Coronado 

National Forest, Pima County, AZ, 

during legally authorized excavations by 

the Arizona State Museum, University 

of Arizona. No known individuals were 

identified. The 1,318 associated 

funerary objects include ceramic bowls 

and jars; pottery sherds; shell, bone and 

turquoise ornaments; bone and stone 

tools; projectile point and groundstone. 

Based on architecture, material 

culture and site organization, the 11 

sites within the ANAMAX-Rosemont 

Project have been identified as PreClassic Hohokam village occupations 

dating between A.D. 450 and 1150. 

Continuities of ethnographic materials, 

technology and architecture indicate the 

affiliation of Hohokam sites in the area 

of the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project with 

present-day O’odham cultures. The oral 

traditions of the Ak-Chin Indian 

Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River 

Indian Community of the Gila River 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt River 

Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of 

the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; and 

Tohono O’odham Nation, Arizona, 

support the cultural affiliation of these 

four Indian tribes with Hohokam sites in 

this area of southeastern Arizona. The 

oral traditions of the Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 

Reservation, New Mexico indicate some 

cultural ties or relationships to certain 

portions of southeastern Arizona in the 

late Post-Classic Period (A.D. 1300– 

1450). While the Hopi Tribe and Zuni 

Tribe have cultural ties to certain 

portions of southeastern Arizona in the 

late Pre-Classic Period, the Ak-Chin 

Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak 

Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila 

River Indian Community of the Gila 

River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt 

River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono 

O’odham Nation, Arizona have a closer 

cultural relationship and affiliation with 

these Pre-Classic Period sites within the 

ANAMAX-Rosemont Project. 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado 

National Forest have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 193 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Officials of the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Coronado National Forest also 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 1,318 objects 

described above 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. Lastly, officials of the 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado 

National Forest have determined that, 

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 

Ak-Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community 

of the Gila River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arziona; Salt 

River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation, Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Dr. Frank E. Wozniak, NAGPRA 

Coordinator, Southwestern Region, 

USDA Forest Service, 333 Broadway 

Blvd., SE, Albuquerque, NM 87102, 

telephone (505) 842–3238, before April 

13, 2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Ak-Chin Indian Community of the 

Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Gila River Indian Community 

of the Gila River Indian Reservation, 

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt 

River Pima-Maricopa Indian 

Community of the Salt River 

Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham 

Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the 

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Notice of Inventory Completion for 

Native American Human Remains and 

Associated Funerary Objects in the 

Possession of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University, Cambridge, MA; Correction 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

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 in the possession of the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology, Harvard University, 

Cambridge, MA. The human remains 

were removed from Columbia County, 

WA. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

This notice corrects the list of 

culturally affiliated groups listed in a 

Notice of Inventory Completion 

published in the Federal Register (66 

FR 17736, April 3, 2001). Information 

derived from recent consultations has 

resulted in the addition of the Coeur 

D’Alene Tribe of the Coeur D’Alene 

Reservation, Idaho; Confederated Tribes 

of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, 

Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the 

Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; 

and Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, to the 

culturally affiliated list. 

The notice published in the Federal 

Register (66 FR 17736, April 3, 2001) is 

replaced with the following: 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Peabody Museum 

of Archaeology and Ethnology 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Coeur D’Alene 

Tribe of the Coeur D’Alene Reservation, 

Idaho; Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington; Nez 

Perce Tribe, Idaho; Spokane Tribe of the

Spokane Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, 

In 1871, human remains representing 

one individual were collected from the 

banks of the Snake River at the mouth 

of Tucannon, near Fort Taylor, 

Columbia County, WA, by C.R. 

Greenleaf. In 1872, Mr. Greenleaf gifted 

these human remains to the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Museum documentation identifies 

this individual as a ‘‘Palouse Indian.’’ 

The attribution of such a specific 

cultural affiliation to the human 

remains indicates that the interment 

post-dates sustained contact between 

indigenous groups and Europeans 

beginning in the early 19th century. The 

human remains were from an area 

commonly considered to be traditional 

Palouse territory during this period. 

Oral traditions and historic evidence 

indicate that although some Palouse 

people occupied their traditional 

territory until the mid–1900s, many 

Palouse people went to live on 

neighboring reservations beginning in 

the late 19th century, where they 

continue to maintain their group 

identity as Palouse people. Based on 

consultation with the Indian Tribes 

listed above, the present-day tribes 

representing the Palouse people are the 

Coeur D’Alene Tribe of the Coeur 

D’Alene Reservation, Idaho; 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Nez Perce 

Tribe, Idaho; Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard 

University also have determined that, 

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 the Coeur D’Alene Tribe of the 

Coeur D’Alene Reservation, Idaho; 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Nez Perce 

Tribe, Idaho; Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Patricia Capone, 

Repatriation Coordinator, Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, 

Harvard University, 11 Divinity Avenue, 

Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617) 

496–3702, before April 13, 2009.
