History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

On February 15, 1978, The Fort Worth 

Museum of Science and History 

acquired one yucca, stair-step basket, 

object identification number 31N.00139, 

from Lew Meekins. No other 

provenance information is available. 

Museum accession and catalog 

records, as well as consultations with a 

representative of the Santa Rosa 

Rancheria Tachi Tribe, in Lemoore, CA, 

indicated that the basket is of Yokut 

design, and would have been utilized 

during the Tribe’s Traditional Coming of 

Age Ceremonies. The representative of 

the Santa Rosa Rancheria Tachi Tribe 

also provided supporting ethnographic 

documentation for the cultural 

significance of the object. 

Determinations Made by The Fort 

Worth Museum of Science and History 

Officials of The Fort Worth Museum 

of Science and History have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the 1 cultural item described above has 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group or culture itself, 

rather than property owned by an 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the object of cultural patrimony 

and the Santa Rosa Indian Community 

of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to

Museum of Science and History, 1600 

Gendy Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107, 

telephone (817) 255–9300, email 

cscanlon@fwmsh.org, by September 27, 

2017. After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the object of cultural 

patrimony to the Santa Rosa Indian 

Community of the Santa Rosa 

Rancheria, California, may proceed. 

The Fort Worth Museum of Science 

and History is responsible for notifying

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of the 

Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville, 

TN, which 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 Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

On September 28, 1938, two cultural 

items were removed from the Laws site 

(1MS100) on Pine Island in Marshall 

County, AL, after TVA acquired the land 

on April 21, 1937. There appear to have 

been at least four occupations at site 

1MS100: A pre-ceramic period with 

steatite vessels; a village period with 

limestone-tempered pottery during the 

Flint River phase (A.D. 500–1000); a late 

Mississippian occupation with shelltempered ceramics and rectilinear wall 

trench structures (Crow Creek phase, 

A.D. 1500–1700); and burials with EuroAmerican trade goods (circa A.D. 1670– 

1715). The two unassociated funerary 

objects are one brass pendant and one 

brass ring. 

Excavation records from site 1MS100 

indicated that these two unassociated 

funerary objects were found in burial 

unit 1 with the fragmentary remains of 

a child. The human remains are no 

longer present. The brass ring found in 

burial unit 1 is similar to the brass rings 

found in burial units 17 and 40 of the 

same site which were also child burials. 

In a separate Notice of Inventory 

Completion, the human remains from 

burial units 17 and 40 have been 

culturally affiliated to Native American 

descendants of the Koasati/Kaskinampo. 

These descendants include the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas 

(previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe 

of Louisiana; and The Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation. 

On November 29, 1937, two 

unassociated funerary objects were 

excavated from burial unit 6 at site 

1MS121 on Pine Island in Marshall 

County, AL, after TVA purchased the 

land on April 19, 1937. There were 

excavations in both the village and 

adjacent mound. There are no 

radiocarbon dates for this site. Artifacts 

recovered from the site indicate both a 

Woodland and Mississippian 

occupation. The two unassociated 

funerary objects are one Barton Incised 

jar and one Bell Plain carinated bowl. 

Both ceramic vessels are from the 

Mississippian period. 

Excavation documents indicate that 

burial unit 6 did contain human 

remains, with these funerary objects 

placed near the head of the individual. 

These human remains are no longer 

present. The unassociated funerary 

objects are similar to those found in 

burial units 2, 4, and 5 of the same site. 

In a separate Notice of Inventory 

Completion, the human remains from 

burial units 2, 4, and 5 have been

40804 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Notices 

culturally affiliated to Native American 

descendants of the Koasati/Kaskinampo. 

These descendants include the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas 

(previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe 

of Louisiana; and The Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation. 

Chronicles from Spanish explorers of 

the 16th century and French explorers 

of the 17th and 18th century indicate 

the presence of chiefdom level tribal 

entities in the southeastern United 

States which resemble the Mississippian 

chiefdoms. Linguistic analysis of place 

names noted by multiple Spanish 

explorers indicates that Koasati 

speaking groups inhabited northeastern 

Alabama. Early maps and research into 

the historic Native American occupation 

of northeastern Alabama indicates that 

the Koasati (as called by the English) or 

the Kaskinampo (as called by the 

French) were found at multiple sites in 

Jackson and Marshall Counties in the 

17th and 18th centuries. Oral history, 

traditions, and expert opinions of the 

descendants of Koasati/Kaskinampo 

indicate that this portion of the 

Tennessee River valley was a homeland 

of the Koasati/Kaskinampo people. The 

subsequent involuntary diaspora of 

these peoples resulted in descendants of 

the Koasati/Kaskinampo among 

multiple federally recognized Indian 

Tribes. 

Determinations Made by the Tennessee 

Valley Authority 

Officials of the Tennessee Valley 

Authority have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the four 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 

specific burial sites of Native American 

individuals. 

• 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 Alabama-Coushatta 

Tribe of Texas (previously listed as the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas); 

Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town; 

Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; and The 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Dr. Thomas O. Maher, TVA, 400 West 

Summit Hill Drive, WT11D, Knoxville, 

TN 37902–1401, telephone (865) 632– 

7458, email tomaher@tva.gov, by 

September 27, 2017. After that date, if 

no additional claimants have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

unassociated funerary objects to the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas 

(previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe 

of Louisiana; and The Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation may proceed. 

The TVA is responsible for notifying 

the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians 

of Oklahoma; Alabama-Coushatta Tribe 

of Texas (previously listed as the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas); 

Cherokee Nation; Coushatta Tribe of 

Louisiana; Eastern Band of Cherokee 

Indians; Mississippi Band of Choctaw 

Indians; Poarch Band of Creeks 

(previously listed as the Poarch Band of 

Creek Indians of Alabama); The 

Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw Nation 

of Oklahoma; The Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation; The Seminole Nation of 

Oklahoma; and United Keetoowah Band 

of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma that 

this notice has been published.
