Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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
the Crow Reservation, Bighorn County,
MT.
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 representatives of
Crow Tribe of Montana.
During 1901–1902, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were obtained from Crow
Agency, on the Crow Reservation,
Bighorn County, MT, by Stephen C.
Simms for the Field Museum of Natural
History. Field Museum of Natural
History records indicate that Assistant
Curator of Anthropology Stephen C.
Simms traveled to the Crow Reservation
in late December 1901 and early January
1902. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the specific cultural and geographic
attribution in Field Museum of Natural
History records. The records identify the
human remains as ‘‘Crow’’ from Crow
Agency, Crow Reservation, MT. Crow
descendants in Montana are represented
by the present-day Crow Tribe of
Montana.
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 two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Field Museum
of Natural History 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 Native American human
remains and the Crow Tribe of Montana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Helen Robbins,
Repatriation Specialist, Field Museum
of Natural History, 1400 South Lake
Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605–2496,
telephone (312) 665–7317, before March
4, 2005. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Crow Tribe of Montana
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Field Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying the Crow
Tribe of Montana that this notice has
been published.

In 1956, human remains representing
at least one individual were removed
from site CA-Son–5, Sonoma County,
CA, by Francis A. Riddell, University of
California, Berkeley during
archeological fieldwork sponsored by
the University of California. The site is
an occupation site located on a bluff
south of Santa Rosa Creek, within the
historic Cabeza de Santa Rosa land grant
at Santa Rosa. No known individual was
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are a stone pestle, a clam shell
bead, and an obsidian blade.
The presence of clamshell disc beads
with the burial indicates that the burial
postdates A.D. 1500.
Based on the manner of burial, the
human remains from site CA-Son–5 are
determined to be Native American in
origin. Site CA-Son–5 is located in a
region that has been occupied by Pomo
speakers since approximately 5,000 B.C.
Based on geographical location, age of
the burial, and information provided
during consultation, the human remains
are culturally affiliated with
descendents of the Pomo. The modern
day representatives of the Pomo are the
