Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of the Interior, National 

Park Service, Grand Canyon National 

Park, Grand Canyon, AZ 

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 in the possession of the U.S. 

Department of the Interior, National 

Park Service, Grand Canyon National 

Park, Grand Canyon, AZ. The human 

remains were removed from within the 

boundary of Grand Canyon National 

Park, Coconino and Mohave Counties, 

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 superintendent, Grand Canyon 

National Park. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Grand Canyon 

National Park professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai 

Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of 

Arizona; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the 

Hualapai Reservation, Arizona; Kaibab 

Band of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; Las Vegas 

Tribe of Paiute Indians of the Las Vegas 

Indian Colony, Nevada; Moapa Band of 

Paiute Indians of the Moapa River 

Indian Reservation, Nevada; Navajo 

Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; 

Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band 

of Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, 

Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian 

Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits 

Band of Paiutes) (formerly Paiute Indian 

Tribe of Utah (Cedar City Band of 

Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, 

Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian 

Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits 

Band of Paiutes)); San Juan Southern 

Paiute Tribe of Arizona; YavapaiApache Nation of the Camp Verde 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; and Zuni 

Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New 

Mexico. 

In 1935, human remains representing 

a minimum of two individuals were 

removed from the Grand Canyon Village 

area in Coconino County, AZ. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Between 1954 and 1955, human 

remains representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown cave location in Coconino 

County, AZ. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Prior to 1958, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

unspecified location in Coconino or 

Mohave County, AZ. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

In 1962, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from a ledge south of Bright 

Angel Trail in Coconino County, AZ. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Prior to 1968, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

unspecified location in Coconino or 

Mohave County, AZ. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from an 

unspecified location in Coconino or 

Mohave County, AZ. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Due to a lack of contextual 

information and evidence to support a 

precise cultural affiliation 

determination, the Native American 

human remains described above are 

determined to be ‘‘culturally 

unidentifiable’’ under NAGPRA. 

Officials of Grand Canyon National 

Park have determined that, pursuant to 

25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of nine individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Lastly, officials of 

Grand Canyon National Park have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001(2), a relationship of shared group 

identity cannot reasonably be traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and any present-day Indian 

tribe. 

The Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Review 

Committee (Review Committee) is 

responsible for recommending specific 

actions for disposition of culturally 

unidentifiable human remains. In July 

2009, Grand Canyon National Park 

requested that the Review Committee 

recommend disposition of the nine 

culturally unidentifiable human 

remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona, 

because the human remains were found 

within the tribe’s aboriginal and 

historical territory. The Review 

Committee considered the proposal at 

its October 30–31, 2009, meeting and 

recommended disposition of the human 

remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona. 

A March 4, 2010, letter from the 

Designated Federal Officer, writing on 

behalf of the Secretary of the Interior, 

transmitted the authorization for the 

park to effect disposition of the physical 

remains of the culturally unidentifiable 

individuals to the Havasupai Tribe of 

the Havasupai Reservation, Arizona, 

contingent on the publication of a 

Notice of Inventory Completion in the 

Federal Register. This notice fulfills 

that requirement. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Stephen P. Martin, 

Superintendent, Grand Canyon National 

Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 

86023, telephone (928) 638–7945, before 

July 1, 2010. Disposition of the human 

remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona, may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

Grand Canyon National Park is 

responsible for notifying the Havasupai 

Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation, 

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; 

Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai 

Reservation, Arizona; Kaibab Band of 

Paiute Indians of the Kaibab Indian 

Reservation, Arizona; Las Vegas Tribe of 

Paiute Indians of the Las Vegas Indian 

Colony, Nevada; Moapa Band of Paiute 

Indians of the Moapa River Indian 

Reservation, Nevada; Navajo Nation, 

Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Paiute 

Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band of 

Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, 

Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian 

Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits 

Band of Paiutes); San Juan Southern 

Paiute Tribe of Arizona; YavapaiApache Nation of the Camp Verde 

Indian Reservation, Arizona; and Zuni 

Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New 

Mexico, that this notice has been 

published.
