medicine men who use the objects as
part of their healing ceremonies and
preparation of prayer sticks associated
with solstice offerings. The contents of
Zia medicine bundles are usually kept
individually in small hide pouches tied
with leather or yucca cords, which in
turn are kept in larger bundles. Small
quartz crystals, minerals, beads, flakes
and seeds are commonly used to adorn
and paint prayer sticks.
Officials of Chaco Culture National
Historical Park have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the
cultural items are specific ceremonial
objects needed by traditional Native
American religious leaders for the
practice of traditional Native American
religions by their present-day adherents.
Officials of Chaco Culture National
Historical Park 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 sacred objects and the
Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects should
contact Dennis Carruth, acting
superintendent, Chaco Culture National
Historical Park, Post Office Box 220,
Nageezi, NM 87037, telephone
(505)786–7014, before July 1, 2005.
Repatriation of the sacred objects to the
Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.

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
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest,
Baker City, OR. The human remains
were removed from Wallowa County,
OR.
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 WallowaWhitman National Forest professional
staff in consultation with the Nez Perce
Tribe of Idaho.
In June 1989, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Knight Creek site (35WA767), Wallowa
County, OR. The Knight Creek site is
located approximately 47 miles south of
Lewiston, ID. The Knight Creek site was
looted by an unknown individual or
individuals during the summer or fall of
1984. The 1989 archeological excavation
was conducted by Central Washington
University, under contract with the
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, as
part of a damage assessment study. After
analysis at Central Washington
University, the materials were returned
to the Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest and have been kept at the Hells
Canyon National Recreation
headquarters in Enterprise, OR. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Radiocarbon dates from the Knight
Creek site range between B.P. 1040 (+/
-90 years) and 2,450 B.P. (+/-120 years).

The Nez Perce Indians are believed to
have occupied the area of Wallowa
County, OR for over 7,000 years. The
Knight Creek site is located within the
ancestral and traditional lands of the
Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho. Nothing was
discovered at the site that would
indicate that there was any cultural
influence other than the Nez Perce
people, which is represented today by
the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
Officials of the Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest 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 Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest 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 Nez Perce Tribe of
Idaho.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

should contact Guy A. Marden, Forest
Archaeologist, Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest, P.O. Box 907, Baker

Consultation was also carried out by
Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
professional staff with the Dunlap Band
of Mono Indians, Sierra Foothill
Wuksachi Tribe, Sierra Nevada Native

In 1960, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site CA-Tul–24 (Hospital
Rock) in Tulare County, CA, by J.C. von
Werlhof. In 1961, Mr. von Werlhof
transferred these fragmentary human
remains to the Phoebe A. Hearst
Museum of Anthropology, where they
currently are secured. No known
individuals were identified. No funerary
objects are present.
The Hospital Rock site is a pictograph
and occupation site. Characteristics of
material culture, including Desert series
projectile points, steatite beads, and
brownware ceramics indicate that the
site was inhabited post- A.D. 1500, until
circa A.D. 1860. This suite of artifact
types is most strongly affiliated in the
archeological record with Yokuts and
