Notice of Intended Repatriation Amendment: New York State Museum, 
Albany, NY

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and 
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the New York State Museum has amended a 
Notice of Intended Repatriation published in the Federal Register on 
August 13, 2024. This notice amends the Indian Tribes or Native 
Hawaiian organizations with cultural affiliation.

DATES: Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice may occur on 
or after January 6, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Lisa Anderson, New York State Museum, 3049 Cultural 
Education Center, Albany, NY 12230, telephone (518) 486-2020, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the 
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA. 
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
New York State Museum, and additional information on the determinations 
in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in 
the summary or related records. The National Park Service is not 
responsible for the determinations in this notice.

Amendment

    This notice amends the determination of cultural affiliation 
published in a Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 65926-65927, August 13, 2024). Repatriation of 
an item in the original Notice of Intended Repatriation, a pottery pipe 
from the Treadway site, Jefferson County, NY, has not occurred. This 
notice amends the Indian Tribes listed in the determinations section. 
Additional information of cultural affiliation was provided to support 
the addition of the Oneida Indian Nation.

Determinations (as Amended)

    The New York State Museum has determined that:
     There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item 
in this notice and the Onondaga Nation and the Oneida Indian Nation.

Requests for Repatriation

    Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items 
in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in 
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by any lineal 
descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not 
identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the 
evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or a culturally 
affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
    Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice to a requestor 
may occur on or after January 6, 2025. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the California State University, Sacramento 
must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. 
Requests for joint repatriation of the cultural items are considered a 
single request and not competing requests. The New York State Museum is 
responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and 
Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
    Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 
25 U.S.C. 3004, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.9.

    Dated: November 22, 2024.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
