DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, Region 7, 

Anchorage, AK, and Alutiiq Museum 

and Archaeological Repository, 

Kodiak, AK 

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 control of the U.S. 

Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, Region 7, 

Anchorage, AK, and in the possession of 

the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human 

remains were removed from Chief Cove 

Island, Kodiak Island, AK. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Alutiiq 

Museum and Archaeological Repository 

professional staff on behalf of the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7, in 

consultation with representatives of 

Koniag, Inc., Native Village of Larsen 

Bay, and Native Village of Port Lions. 

In 1977, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from 49–KOD–00172, an 

archeological site on Chief Cove Island, 

in the Kodiak Island Borough, AK, 

during testing of the site by Mike 

Nowak, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

archeologist. Following the excavation, 

materials from the site were housed at 

the University of Alaska Fairbanks 

Museum, then transferred to the 

University of Alaska’s Department of 

Anthropology under the care of Dr. 

Richard Jordan. Sometime between 1988 

and 1991, it is believed that Dr. Jordan 

inadvertently shipped the human 

remains to the Hunter College 

Department of Anthropology with 

faunal samples intended for analysis. In 

2000, Robert Kopperl, a graduate 

student of University of Washington, 

Department of Anthropology, gained 

permission to move the 49–KOD–00172 

faunal samples from Hunter College to 

Seattle, as part of his dissertation 

research project. During unpacking of 

the collection, the human remains were 

identified. In July of 2006, the human 

remains were hand carried from Seattle 

to the Alutiiq Museum by a visiting 

researcher. The Alutiiq Museum is a 

regional research facility governed by 

representatives of Kodiak’s Alutiiq 

Corporations, and as such, represents all 

of the Alutiiq people of the Kodiak 

region and agreed to care for the human 

remains and to work with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service to complete the 

necessary NAGPRA consultation to 

determine their appropriate disposition. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Site 49–KOD–00172 is a large 

prehistoric settlement on Chief Cove 

Island at the entrance to Spiridon Bay, 

an arm of the Uyak Bay, in Alaska’s 

Kodiak Archipelago. Stratigraphic 

observations, cultural materials, and 

carbon dates indicate that the site 

contains deposits spanning at least 

2,000 years, from both the Late 

Kachemak and Koniag traditions. 

Archeological data indicate that modern 

Alutiiqs evolved from these 

archeologically documented societies. 

As such, the human remains from 49– 

KOD–00172 are likely Native American 

and most closely affiliated with the 

modern Kodiak Alutiiq people. 

According to guidelines of the Kodiak 

Alutiiq Repatriation Commission, the 

culturally related groups for the area of 

Chief Cove Island are the Koniag, Inc., 

Native Village of Larsen Bay, and Native 

Village of Port Lions. Specifically, Chief 

Cove Island falls within the area 

traditionally used by the Native Village 

of Larsen Bay. 

Officials of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Region 7 and Alutiiq Museum 

and Archaeological Repository have 

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

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 and 

Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository also have determined that, 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 197 / Thursday, October 9, 2008 / Notices 59669 

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 

Koniag, Inc., Native Village of Larsen 

Bay, and Native Village of Port Lions. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Region 7, Archaeologist Debbie 

Corbett, 1011 East Tudor Road, 

Anchorage, AK 99503, telephone (907) 

786–3399, before November 10, 2008. 

Repatriation of the human remains to 

the Koniag, Inc., Native Village of 

Larsen Bay, and Native Village of Port 

Lions may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is 

responsible for notifying the Koniag, 

Inc., Native Village of Larsen Bay, and 

Native Village of Port Lions that this 

notice has been published.
