Mr. Healy donated the human remains 

to the Museum of Peoples and Cultures 

(Catalog Nos. 1967.70.31.1–3 and 

1967.70.33.1; and No. 1967.73.1). No

2 mile east of the mouth of the canyon. 

The site consists of a single burial

associated funerary objects date the 

burial to circa A.D. 1860–1870. 

At an unknown time prior to 1967,

individuals were removed from site 

42UT225, Water Canyon, east of Salem, 

Utah County, UT, by unknown persons. 

The human remains were donated to the 

Museum of Peoples and Cultures in 

1967 by unknown individuals (Catalog 

No. 1967.66.1, 1967.66.2, and 

1967.66.4). No known individuals were

approximately 10 leather strips, 4 pistol 

parts, 1 iron lock plate, 4 rifle parts, 1 

brass gun cap box, 6 glass buttons, 2

sizes, 10 metal scraps, 1 wood fragment, 

and 4 wood and metal fragments 

(possibly parts of pocket knives). 

Site 42UT225 is located about 500 feet 

from the mouth of Water Canyon, at the 

foot of a rock slide. The associated 

funerary objects date the burials to circa 

A.D. 1860–1870. 

Consultation with representatives of 

the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & 

Ouray Reservation, Utah and Ute 

Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain 

Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & 

Utah indicate that the types of 

associated funerary objects and manner 

of burial were consistent with Ute 

practices dating to the mid- to late1800s. The location of the burials and 

associated funerary objects are also 

within historic Ute territory. 

Officials of the Brigham Young 

University, Museum of Peoples and 

Cultures have determined that, pursuant 

to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human 

remains described above represent the 

physical remains of a minimum of five 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Brigham Young 

University, Museum of Peoples and 

Cultures also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 

439 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 Brigham Young 

University, Museum of Peoples and 

Cultures 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 

Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 

Reservation, Utah and Ute Mountain 

Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, 

Colorado, New Mexico & Utah. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Paul Stavast, Museum of 

Peoples and Cultures, Brigham Young 

University, 105 Allen Hall, Provo, UT 

84602–3600, telephone (801) 422–0018, 

before April 13, 2009. Repatriation of 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects to the Ute Indian Tribe 

of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah 

and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute 

Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New 

Mexico & Utah may proceed after that 

date if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The Brigham Young University, 

Museum of Peoples and Cultures is 

responsible for notifying the Ute Indian 

Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 

Reservation, Utah and Ute Mountain 

Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,

Native American Human Remains and 

Associated Funerary Objects from 

Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise 

Counties in the Control of the 

Coronado National Forest, United

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 and associated funerary objects 

in the control of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado 

National Forest, Tucson, AZ, and in the 

possession of the Arizona State 

Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ. 

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 and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

This notice corrects the number of 

sites where Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed, increases the minimum 

number of Native American individuals 

and associated funerary objects from 

those sites, and also amends the 

determination of shared group 

relationships in a Notice of Inventory 

Completion published in the Federal 

Register (63 FR 49025–49026, 

September 18, 1997). Since publication 

of the notice, Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were found to be removed during the 

ANAMAX-Rosemont Project from an 

additional site, and an additional 118 

Native American individuals and 1,213 

associated funerary objects were 

discovered in the Arizona State 

Museum collections.

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
