SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha
District. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from site 39BF231, Buffalo
County, SD.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by the State Archaeological
Research Center and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Omaha District,
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Yankton Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1961, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from site 39BF231 in Buffalo
County, SD. The human remains were
collected by Robert W. Neuman of the
Smithsonian Institution, when thirteen
coffin burials were excavated prior to
construction of a new Highway 47. The
human remains are determined to be
Native American based on the location
of the site, which is near the Crow Creek
Indian Reservation. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
PO 00000
Frm 00077

Sfmt 4703
stored at the Midwest Archeological
Center (MWAC). The human remains
were transferred from MWAC in 1964 to
the University of Kansas, then to the
University of Tennessee-Knoxville in
1971, and then to the Smithsonian
Institution in 1979. The human remains
are currently at the Smithsonian
Institution and are not included in the
Notice. MWAC did not transfer the
funerary objects and the human remains
together. Instead, MWAC transferred the
funerary objects to the South Dakota
State Archaeological Research Center
(SARC) in 1987. In 1999 and 2000,
SARC found human remains—
mummified skin and hair—among the
funerary objects. The mummified skin
and hair are from two individual burials
collected by Neuman in 1961. These
human remains are currently housed at
SARC. No known individuals were
identified. The 1,351 associated
funerary objects are 1,046 glass beads,
141 shell beads, 81 brass beads, 1 brass
button, 16 glass buttons, 4 silver
earrings, 1 vial of seeds, 2 wood
fragments, 1 antler and brass handle, 1
chipped stone, 1 mirror with brass
frame, 2 iron nails, 1 brass pendant, 3
pipe preforms, 38 iron pot fragments, 1
iron ring, 1 spoon, 2 brass tacks, 3 linen
fragments, 3 wool fragments, and 2 brass
thimbles.
The use of coffins for Native
American burials and the alignment of
the burials in rows are representative of
the post-1870s, Early Reservation Period
at the nearby Crow Creek Indian
Reservation. By the 1870s, the
reservation was inhabited by the
Yanktonai. The associated funerary
objects are consistent with Yanktonai
historic burials. The Yanktonai today
are represented by the Yankton Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota. Consultation
with the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota indicates that the associated
funerary objects listed in this notice are
the kinds of objects that were typically
placed with individuals at the time of
death.
Determinations Made by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Omaha District
Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Omaha District, have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 1,351 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM
22SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony.
• 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 Yankton Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota.
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 and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Ms. Sandra Barnum, U.S.

Omaha, NE 68102, telephone, (402)

Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota
may proceed.

Correction
In the Federal Register (78 FR 45960,
July 30, 2013), column 2, full paragraph
2, under the heading ‘‘Consultation,’’ is
corrected by substituting the following
paragraph:
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by professional staff of the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources in
consultation with representatives of the Sac
& Fox Nation, Oklahoma; Sac & Fox Nation
of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska; Sac &
Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa; and The
Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage
Tribe).
In the Federal Register (78 FR 45960,
July 30, 2013), column 3, full paragraph

States between 1804 and 1816. The Sauk and
Fox are represented by the present-day Sac
& Fox Nation, Oklahoma; Sac & Fox Nation
of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska; and Sac
& Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
Cultural affiliation was determined based on
tribal history, oral history, and the historical
association of these tribes to the counties
bordering the Mississippi River, including
Pike County, MO.
In the Federal Register (78 FR 45960,
July 30, 2013), column 3, full paragraph
