The site was investigated by Forest 

Service and contract archeologists and 

determined to be a boulder cache 

containing ceramic sherds and human 

skeletal remains. An area of charcoal 

rich soil was screened during the 

investigation, resulting in the recovery 

of a small number of ceramic sherds and 

bone fragments. A total of 478 pieces of 

human bone were recovered. No paired 

bones were identified that would 

indicate more than one individual; 

although differential wear on two teeth 

may indicate it is possible two 

individuals are present. 

Lamar period ceramics present at the 

site, which are associated with the Iron 

Horse, Dyar and Bell phases, suggest a 

date of approximately A.D. 1450–1670. 

Following 1670, this region was 

abandoned by Native Americans for a 

period of time, and the surviving 

populations are thought to have 

eventually joined with the Creek 

Confederacy. Based on a review of the 

archeology, ethnography and history of 

the region, officials of the Forest Service 

believe the human remains are Creek in 

affiliation. The Creek are represented by 

the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas; 

Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Coushatta Tribe of 

Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 

Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek 

Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma. 

Officials of the Chattahoochee-Oconee 

National Forests have determined, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the ChattahoocheeOconee National Forests also have 

determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001(3)(A), the 131 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 

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests 

have determined, 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 Alabama-Coushatta 

Tribe of Texas; Alabama-Quassarte 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Coushatta 

Tribe of Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal 

Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band of 

Creek Indians of Alabama; and 

Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

Tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact James Wettstaed, 

Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests, 

1775 Cleveland Rd., Gainesville, GA 

30501, telephone (770) 297–3026, before 

December 6, 2010. Repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe 

of Texas; Alabama-Quassarte Tribal 

Town, Oklahoma; Coushatta Tribe of 

Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 

Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek 

Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma, may proceed 

after that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Chattahoochee-Oconee National 

Forests are responsible for notifying the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas; 

Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Coushatta Tribe of 

Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 

Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Anthropological Studies Center, 

Archaeological Collections Facility, 

Sonoma State University, Rohnert 

Park, CA 

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 

Anthropological Studies Center, 

Archaeological Collections Facility, 

Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, 

CA. The human remains were removed 

from Mendocino County, CA. 

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 

Anthropological Studies Center 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Round Valley 

Indian Tribes of the Round Valley 

Reservation, California. 

In January 1982, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from the 

Diamond H. Ranch Site #2 (CA–MEN– 

164), in Mendocino County, CA. The 

human remains were collected from a 

prehistoric feature exposed in a road cut 

bank during a surface survey for the 

Diamond H. Ranch Biomass Generating 

Plant. This collection, curated under the 

accession number 82–01, represents 

results of the survey of CA–MEN–164, 

near the town of Covelo, Mendocino 

County, CA. The collection has been 

housed at the Anthropological Studies 

Center since it was accessioned in 1982. 

No known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Analysis of the artifacts found at site 

CA–MEN–164 indicates a probable 

occupation between A.D. 1500 and 

1856. Although the exact age and 

identity of the individual is unknown, 

more likely than not, the human 

remains fall within the period indicated 

above and are Native American. 

Ethnographic documents indicate CA– 

MEN–164 was located within the 

territory of the Ukomno’m division of 

the Yuki. Ethnographic accounts and 

information provided by representatives 

of the Round Valley Indian Tribes of the 

Round Valley Reservation, California, 

demonstrate cultural affiliation with the 

human remains, as the Round Valley 

Indian Tribes are composed of 

descendants of the Yuki, Concow 

Maidu, Little Lake and other Pomo, 

Nomlaki, Cahto, Wailaki and Pit River 

peoples. 

Officials of the Anthropological 

Studies Center, Archaeological 

Collections Facility, Sonoma State 

University, have determined, pursuant 

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

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Lastly, officials of 

the Anthropological Studies Center, 

Archaeological Collections Facility, 

Sonoma State University, have 

determined, 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 the Round Valley 

Indian Tribes of the Round Valley 

Reservation, California. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

Tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Erica Gibson, NAGPRA

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Hiawatha National Forest, 

Escanaba, MI and University of 

Michigan, Museum of Anthropology, 

Ann Arbor, MI 

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 Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Hiawatha National Forest, 

Escanaba, MI, and in the physical 

custody of the University of Michigan, 

Museum of Anthropology, Ann Arbor, 

MI. The human remains were removed 

from Naomikong Point Site, Chippewa 

County, MI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

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 U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Forest Service, 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Bay Mills Indian 

Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse 

Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay 

Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan; 

Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan; and Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan. 

In 1966, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from the Naomikong Point Site 

(20CH2), Chippewa County, MI, during 

excavations by the University of 

Michigan. This site is on Federal land, 

and excavation occurred under a U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Special Use Permit. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Based on archeological context, the 

human remains are identified as more 

likely than not Native American. 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, have 

determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001(2), a relationship of shared group 

identity cannot be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and any present-day Indian 

Tribe. 

These Native American human 

remains are from the aboriginal lands of 

the Chippewa and Ottawa. According to 

the Treaty of Washington, March 28, 

1836 (7 stat. 491), there are five presentday Indian Tribes that have aboriginal 

land in the area where the remains were 

excavated. These five Tribes are the Bay 

Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little 

River Band of Ottawa Indians, 

Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of 

Odawa Indians, Michigan; and the Sault 

Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of 

Michigan. The aboriginal land Tribes 

that are in closest proximity to the site 

are the Bay Mills Indian Community, 

Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of 

Chippewa Indians of Michigan. Letters 

of support for the disposition of the 

Native American human remains to the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan, 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan were sent by the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, 

Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of 

Odawa Indians, Michigan; Sault Ste. 

Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of 

Michigan; and Saginaw Chippewa 

Indian Tribe of Michigan. Therefore, 

officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, will transfer 

the Native American human remains 

from the Naomikong Point Site to the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan, 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan. 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, determined, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Lastly, officials of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Forest Service, have 

determined, pursuant to 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 

human remains is to the Bay Mills 

Indian Community, Michigan, and the 

Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan. 

Representatives of any Indian Tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains or 

any other Indian Tribe that believes it 

satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1) should contact Teresa Chase, 

Acting Forest Supervisor, Hiawatha 

National Forest, 2727 N. Lincoln Road, 

Escanaba, MI 49829, telephone (906) 

786–4062, before December 6, 2010. 

Disposition of the human remains to the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan, 

and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of 

Chippewa Indians of Michigan, may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

requestors come forward. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

Forest Service, is responsible for 

notifying the Bay Mills Indian 

Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse 

Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert
