Kanadesaga was the large eastern 

village of the Seneca dating to circa A.D. 

1754–1779, and the home of the Seneca 

chief Sayenqueraghta, known also as 

‘‘Old King’’ and ‘‘Old Smoke.’’ 

Contemporary accounts referred to 

Kanadesaga as the ‘‘Seneca Castle,’’ and 

the village’s prominence on the political 

landscape was recognized by colonial 

leaders. The settlement was the site of 

a blockhouse built on Sir William 

Johnson’s orders, which was the place 

of residence and workplace of several 

colonial blacksmiths to the Seneca, 

briefly the home of Reverend Samuel 

Kirkland, and a base for Butler’s Rangers 

during the American Revolution. The 

settlement was destroyed by the 

American Sullivan-Clinton Campaign in 

1779. In the mid–19th century, E.G. 

Squier and Lewis H. Morgan describe 

the site and associate the burial mound 

with the village’s Seneca occupants. 

Morgan reported that Indians made 

annual visits to the burial mound. 

Historical evidence and oral history 

indicates that the sites discussed above 

are located in a region that was 

occupied by the Seneca Indians from 

A.D. 1450–1779. Archeological evidence 

indicated that these sites were occupied 

during the time of Seneca occupation of 

the region. Based on historical evidence, 

oral history, and archeological evidence, 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects are identified by 

officials of the New York State Museum 

as being Seneca. Descendants of the 

Seneca are represented by the Seneca 

Nation of New York, Seneca-Cayuga 

Tribe of Oklahoma, and Tonawanda 

Band of Seneca Indians 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 54 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the New York State 

Museum also have determined that, 

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

164 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 New York State Museum 

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 

Seneca Nation of New York, SenecaCayuga Tribe of Oklahoma, and 

Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of 

New York. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Lisa M. Anderson, NAGPRA 

Coordinator, New York State Museum, 

3122 Cultural Education Center, Albany, 

NY 12230, telephone (518) 486–2020, 

before November 6, 2008. Repatriation 

of the human remains and associated 

funerary objects to the Seneca Nation of 

New York, Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of 

Oklahoma, and Tonawanda Band of 

Seneca Indians of New York may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

New York State Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Seneca 

Nation of New York, Seneca-Cayuga 

Tribe of Oklahoma, and Tonawanda 

Band of Seneca Indians of New York 

that this notice has been published.

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

Burlington, Gloucester, and Mercer 

Counties, NJ, and Chester County, PA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25

This notice corrects the culturally 

affiliated groups listed in a Notice of 

Inventory Completion published in the 

Federal Register on July 30, 2007 (FR 

Do. E7–14625, pages 41524–41525), by 

the addition of the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, Wisconsin. After 

publication of the notice, additional 

evidence derived from historical 

information and further consultations 

with the Stockbridge Munsee 

Community, led to this revised finding 

of cultural affiliation. Based on the 

additional evidence, officials of the 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology have found that there is a 

relationship of shared group identity 

between the Delaware people (from 

Middle Woodland through Historic 

period) and the Munsee Delaware 

people who are represented by the 

Stockbridge Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin. Descendants of the Delaware 

people are represented by the Cherokee 

Nation, Oklahoma, on behalf of the 

Delaware Tribe of Indians; Delaware 

Nation, Oklahoma; and Stockbridge

In 1983, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from archeological site CASDI–4358 (W–108/954), Carlsbad 

(Encinitas Quadrangle), San Diego 

County, CA, as part of an archeological 

excavation performed in compliance 

with the California Environmental 

Quality Act (CEQA). On June 29, 2007, 

the collection was accessioned by the 

San Diego Archaeological Center, and 

was assessed for objects eligible for 

repatriation in accordance with 

NAGPRA. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary

part of an archeological excavation 

performed in compliance with the 

California Environmental Quality Act
