possibly the early 1600s. The later 

burials are few in number. 

Archeological evidence associated with 

the earlier burials, including diagnostic 

pottery and projectile point types, is 

similar across a broad geographic region 

that later was occupied by both 

Iroquoian– and Algonquian–speaking 

people. 

Pottery types associated with the later 

burials at the site are typical of 

Susquehannock people who occupied 

the Susquehanna River Valley in New 

York and Pennsylvania, while 17th 

century historical records indicate that 

Susquehannock people were living in 

the area where the site is located until 

at least A.D. 1600. After the 

Susquehannock were greatly reduced by 

disease and warfare, they lived among a 

number of Indian Nations including 

Haudenosaunee and Delaware 

communities. Historical records and 

Haudenosaunee oral tradition show that 

individuals and groups, including the 

Susquehannock, were adopted into the 

Confederacy during this time. The 

Haudenosaunee Confederacy includes 

the six Nations: Mohawk, Oneida, 

Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and 

Tuscarora Nations. 

Based on expert opinion, namely the 

findings and recommendations of the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Review Committee (Review 

Committee) made during the October 

11–12, 2008 meeting in San Diego, CA, 

and published in the Federal Register 

(74 FR 9427–9428, March 4, 2009), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity between the human remains 

from the Engelbert site and the 

Federally-recognized Onondaga Nation 

of New York, and the Haudenosaunee 

Confederacy, a non–Federally 

recognized Indian group for the 

purposes of NAGPRA. 

Written and verbal support for 

repatriation to the Onondaga Nation 

were received from the Tonawanda 

Band of Seneca Indians of New York; 

Oneida Nation of New York; Tuscarora 

Nation of New York; Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin; 

Delaware Tribe (part of the Cherokee 

Nation, Oklahoma); Cayuga Nation of 

New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, 

New York; and Seneca Nation of New 

York. 

Officials of the New York State 

Museum have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 180 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the New York State 

Museum also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2) and the 

findings of the Review Committee, there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Federally-recognized 

Onondaga Nation of New York, and the 

Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a non– 

Federally recognized Indian group for 

the purposes of NAGPRA. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

Nation or tribe that believes itself to be 

culturally affiliated with the human 

remains should contact Lisa Anderson, 

New York State Museum, 3049 Cultural 

Education Center, Albany, NY 12330, 

telephone (518) 486–2020, before May 4, 

2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains to the Onondaga Nation of New 

York may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The New York State Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Cayuga 

Nation of New York; Delaware Tribe 

(part of the Cherokee Nation, 

Oklahoma); Delaware Nation, 

Oklahoma; Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin; Oneida Nation of New York;

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

University of Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers 

Laboratory of Anthropology, Moscow, 

ID 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 possession and control of the 

University of Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers 

Laboratory of Anthropology, Moscow, 

ID. The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

Park and Treasure Counties, MT. 

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. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by University of 

Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of 

Anthropology professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Crow Tribe of Montana. 

On July 30, 1961, human remains 

representing a minimum of three 

individuals were removed along a cliff 

ledge on the property of Douglas and 

James Mouat (24TE0401), also known as 

Mouat Cliff Burial site, Treasure County, 

MT, during excavations by the Billings 

Archaeological Society. Prior to the 

excavation by the Billings 

Archaeological Society, the Mouat 

family discovered the burials and 

contacted the Society to document and 

excavate them. The human remains 

were cataloged by the Billings 

Archaeological Society. The human 

remains were then transferred to the 

University of Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers 

Laboratory of Anthropology for further 

inventory. No known individuals were 

identified. The 558 associated funerary 

objects are 220 beads, 26 lots of beads, 

7 clothing items, 47 pieces of cloth, 12 

pieces of leather, 5 pipes, 2 bows, 2 

modified sticks, 1 bottle, 1 toy, 11 

buttons, 26 bracelets, 15 pieces of 

ornamental metal, 134 pieces of 

miscellaneous metal, 13 non-human 

osteological elements, 19 mats of hair, 2 

pieces of shell, 2 lots of feathers, 1 

tobacco leaf, 2 minerals, 1 lithic artifact, 

and 9 ecofacts. 

The inventory of the associated 

funerary items and human remains was 

conducted by the University of Idaho by 

cross-matching existing documents, 

materials, and human remains. Historic, 

ethnographic, and legal documents were 

consulted to determine the cultural 

affiliation of this collection. Based on 

this information, the officials of the 

University of Idaho, Laboratory of 

Anthropology reasonably believe that 

the human remains are culturally 

affiliated to the Crow Tribe of Montana. 

Before April 1968, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from the 

Bullis Creek Burial (24PA0503), Park 

County, MT, during excavations by 

Larry Lahren. No known individual was 

identified. The 43 associated funerary 

objects are 8 lots of beads, 14 nonhuman osteological elements, 2 mats of 

hair, 4 bracelets, 1 miscellaneous piece 

of metal, 3 pieces of cloth, 2 clothing

items, 2 projectile points, 3 pieces of 

leather, and 4 ecofacts. 

Sometime between 1985 and 1990, 

the Museum of the Rockies, Bozeman, 

MT, sent the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

University of Idaho. There is little 

known about the Bullis Creek collection 

before it came into the possession and 

control of the University of Idaho. What 

is known is that the site was 

documented by Mr. Lahren as a primary 

‘‘neo-Indian’’ burial on property owned 

by the Brawner/Bullis families. In 

addition, the Museum of the Rockies 

had determined that the human remains 

were Crow, presumably by the location 

of the interment, clothing and beadwork 

style, and the other associated funerary 

objects. 

Historic, ethnographic, and legal 

documents affirmed the Museum of the 

Rockies’ cultural affiliation of this 

reservation period collection through 

the cultural continuity exhibited in 

patterns of residence and stronglyrepresented painted motifs of the 

beadwork. Based on this information, 

the officials of the University of Idaho, 

Laboratory of Anthropology reasonably 

believe that the human remains are 

culturally affiliated to the Crow Tribe of 

Montana. 

Officials of the University of Idaho, 

Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of 

Anthropology have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of four 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the University of 

Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of 

Anthropology also have determined 

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

the 601 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 University of Idaho, 

Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of 

Anthropology 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 

Crow Tribe of Montana. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Leah K. Evans-Janke, Collections 

Manager, University of Idaho, Alfred W. 

Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology, 

Phinney Hall 101, Moscow, ID 83844–

To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment for Emergency Repairs to 

the Presidio Flood Control Project in 

Presidio, TX 

AGENCY: United States Section, 

International Boundary and Water 

Commission, United States and Mexico. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

that pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the United 

States Section, International Boundary 

and Water Commission (USIBWC) 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the proposed action 

of constructing emergency repairs 

within a 3000-foot reach of the Presidio 

Flood Control Levee. This notice is 

being provided as required by the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations (40 CFR 1501.7) and the 

USIBWC’s Operating Procedures for 

Implementing Section 102 of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), to obtain suggestions and 

information from other agencies and the 

public on the scope of issues to be 

addressed in the EA. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Borunda, Environmental 

Protection Specialist, Environmental 

Management Division, USIBWC, 4171 

North Mesa Street, C–100, El Paso, 

Texas 79932 or e-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The USIBWC operates and maintains 

the Presidio Flood Control Project (FCP) 

located along the Rio Grande within the 

city of Presidio, Texas. The FCP extends 

approximately 15.2 miles, from 

Haciendita, upstream of the Rio 

Conchos confluence, and ending 

downstream of Presidio near Brito 

Creek. In September and October 2008, 

the Presidio FCP levees sustained major 

flood damage from overtopping, underseepage, and erosion. The USIBWC 

intends to prepare an EA to assess 

impacts associated with emergency 

repairs of a 3000-foot section of levee 

near Station 7+000 that is susceptible to 

under-seepage and possible levee 

failure. Recent geotechnical evaluations 

have identified this reach as requiring 

immediate attention in order to provide 

flood control protection to the city of 

Presidio in preparation of the regional 

monsoon season. The levee reach is 

located in the upper levee segment of 

the Presidio Flood Control project near 

the Cibolo Creek. The location of the 

deficient area requires immediate action 

by the USIBWC in order to ameliorate 

the eminent risk of levee failure. 

Alternatives 

In order to remediate the potential 

levee failure, within the 3000-foot reach, 

the USIBWC is proposing several 

alternatives actions, including: (1) Noaction; (2) slurry-trench; (3) slurry 

trench with geotechnical membrane; 

and (4) sheet piling. 

The NEPA analysis and 

documentation will identify and 

evaluate all relevant impacts, 

conditions, and issues associated with 

the proposed alternative actions.
