Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Texas A&M
University (TAMU) professional staff in
1995. In 2010, representatives of the
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe;
and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes
(Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie),
Oklahoma, were invited to consult with
TAMU for the purpose of determining
the place and manner of the
repatriation. The Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma contacted TAMU with an
interest in having these remains
repatriated; no representatives from the
other tribes contacted TAMU in
response to this invitation.
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the Kent
Creek site (41HL66) in Hill County, TX,
by a private individual. At the time of
donation to TAMU, it was indicated that
these human remains (TAMU NAGPRA
40) dated to the Palo Duro phase (710
A.D. ± 120) based on artifacts recovered
from the site. The human remains were
determined to be one adult female and
one adult of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Smith site (41LN294) in Leon County,
TX, as part of a salvage excavation. At
the time of their donation, these human
remains (TAMU NAGPRA 41) were
indicated to be prehistoric, without
further explanation. Analysis of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
human remains by physical
anthropologists indicates that this
individual was of Native American
origins. The human remains were
determined to be one adult male. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on geographic location of all
the sites in this notice, TAMU staff
found it reasonable to trace a shared
identity between the human remains in
this notice and the following historic
groups: Cantona, Ervipiame, Mayeye,
Yojuane, Delaware, Kickapoo, Tonkawa,
Tunica, Biolixi, and Wichita.
Archeological and linguistic evidence,
historical records, and/or traditional
beliefs indicate that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
between these historic groups and the
present-day Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Nation, Oklahoma;
Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma; Tonkawa
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; TunicaBiloxi Indian Tribe; and the Wichita and
Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco
& Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by Texas A&M
University
Officials of Texas A&M University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma; Delaware Nation, Oklahoma;
Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma; Tonkawa
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; TunicaBiloxi Indian Tribe; and the Wichita and
Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco
& Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Dr. Suzanne L.
Eckert, Department of Anthropology,
Texas A&M University, College Station,
TX 77843–4352, telephone (979) 845–

if no additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to the Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe;
and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes
