Goldendale, WA; Correction 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate cultural items in the 

possession of the Maryhill Museum of 

Art, Goldendale, WA, that meet the 

definition of ‘‘unassociated funerary 

objects’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

This notice corrects a Notice of Intent 

to Repatriate Cultural Items published 

in the Federal Register (73 FR 16902, 

March 31, 2008) by including the 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington, and the 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

In the Federal Register (73 FR 16902, 

March 31, 2008), paragraph numbers 6 

– 7 are corrected by substituting the 

following: 

Officials of the Maryhill Museum of 

Art have determined that, pursuant to 

25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the two cultural 

items 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 and are believed, by a 

preponderance of the evidence, to have 

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual. 

Officials of the Maryhill Museum of Art 

also 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 unassociated funerary objects and 

the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon, and 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington. 

Furthermore, officials of the Maryhill 

Museum of Art have determined that 

there is a cultural relationship between 

the unassociated funerary objects and 

the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary 

objects should contact Colleen 

Schafroth, Executive Director, Maryhill 

Museum of Art, 35 Maryhill Museum 

Drive, Goldendale, WA 98620, 

telephone (509) 773–3733, before June 

26, 2009. Repatriation of the 

unassociated funerary objects to the 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and the 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, may proceed 

after that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. The Confederated Tribes 

of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, 

Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands 

of the Yakama Nation, Washington; and 

the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, are jointly 

claiming the unassociated funerary 

objects. 

The Maryhill Museum of Art is 

responsible for notifying the 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and the 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, that this notice 

has been published.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: Field 

Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL 

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 Field 

Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL. 

The human remains were removed from 

Kodiak, 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 Field Museum of 

Natural History professional staff in 

consultation with professional staff of 

the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository, Kodiak, AK, on behalf of 

Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi 

Village (aka Woody Island); Natives of 

Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun’aq Tribe of 

Kodiak. 

In 1893, employees of the Field 

Museum of Natural History purchased 

human remains representing one 

individual from Ward’s Natural Science 

Establishment, Rochester, NY (Field 

Museum of Natural History accession 

number 407, catalog number 41470). No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains have been 

identified as Native American based on 

specific cultural and geographic 

attributions in Field Museum of Natural 

History records. The records identify the 

human remains as ‘‘Eskimo’’ from an 

‘‘ancient dwelling near St. Paul, Kodiak 

Isl., Alaska.’’ St. Paul, Kodiak Island, 

AK, is present-day Kodiak, Kodiak 

Island, AK. The term ‘‘Eskimo’’ is used 

by anthropologists to refer to both the 

prehistoric and historic Native peoples 

of the Kodiak region, who are the 

ancestors of the present-day Alutiiq 

people. Specifically, the human remains 

are from an area of the Kodiak 

archipelago traditionally used by 

shareholders and citizens of Koniag, 

Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka 

Woody Island); Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; 

and Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak. 

Officials of the Field Museum of 

Natural History 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 Field Museum of Natural 

History also have determined that,
