Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 164 / Thursday, August 25, 2005 / Notices
The Neville Public Museum of Brown
County has determined that the
wampum belt is an object of cultural
patrimony that has ongoing historical,
traditional, or cultural importance
central to the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin. Cultural
affiliation with the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin, and the
museum’s determination that the
wampum belt is an object of cultural
patrimony, are based on museum
documentation and oral history, as well
as consultation evidence presented by
representatives of the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin that
indicates that no individual had or has
the right to alienate a wampum belt.
Officials of the Neville Public
Museum of Brown County have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(D), the one 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. Officials of the
Neville Public Museum of Brown
County 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 object of cultural patrimony and the
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the one object of cultural
patrimony should contact Eugene
Umberger, Director, Neville Public
Museum of Brown County, 210 Museum
Place, Green Bay, WI 54303, telephone
(920) 448–4460, before September 26,
2005. Repatriation of the object of
cultural patrimony to the Stockbridge
Munsee Community, Wisconsin may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
Neville Public Museum of Brown
County is responsible for notifying the
Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin
and Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin that this notice has been
published.
Dated: July 26, 2005.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion:
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University,
Cambridge, MA
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
This notice rescinds the Federal
Register Notice of Intent to Repatriate
Cultural Items of December 10, 2003, FR
Doc. 03–30567, page 68950. This notice
changes the cultural items described in
the previously published notice from
unassociated funerary objects to
associated funerary objects and adds the
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual.
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
in the possession of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,
Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
West Warwick, Kent County, RI.
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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Narragansett
Indian Tribe of Rhode Island.
In 1957, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from West Warwick, Kent
County, RI, by Dave Straight. The
human remains were donated to the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology by the Massachusetts
Archaeological Society through Maurice
Robbins later that same year. The
human remains were found during the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology’s inventory process after the
publication of the Notice of Intent to
Repatriate Cultural Items on December
10, 2003. The two associated funerary
objects are one bag of bark fragments
and one box of brass kettle fragments.
This interment most likely dates to
the post-contact period or later (post
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49949
A.D. 1500). Copper and brass kettles
were European trade items, and
therefore support a post-contact
temporal context for the burial. In
addition, museum documentation
describes the human remains as
‘‘Narragansett.’’ Such a specific
attribution suggests that the burial dates
to the Historic period. The burial
context indicates that the burial was of
a Native American. Oral tradition and
historical documentation indicate that
West Warwick, RI, is within the
aboriginal and historic homeland of the
Narragansett people during the Contact
period. The present-day tribe
representing the Narragansett people is
the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode
Island.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9-10), the human remains listed
above represent the physical remains of
one individual of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
also have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the two objects
listed 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. Lastly, officials of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology 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 associated funerary objects and the
Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode
Island.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Patricia Capone, Repatriation
Coordinator, Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University, 11 Divinity Avenue,
Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617)
496–3702, before September 26, 2005.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode
Island may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology
and Ethnology is responsible for
notifying the Narragansett Indian Tribe
of Rhode Island that this notice has been
published.

Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves

remains and associated funerary objects
for which the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural History, Eugene,
OR, and the U.S. Department of Defense,
Army Corps of Engineers, Portland
District, Portland, OR, have joint
responsibility. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from archeological sites on
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land
located within the John Day Dam project
area in Morrow County, OR, and Benton
County, WA.
This notice is published as part of the

in this notice are the sole responsibility

This notice corrects the number of
human remains and associated funerary
objects reported in a notice of inventory
completion published in the Federal
Register on October 8, 2003 (FR Doc.
03–25535, pages 58139–5140).
In June 2004, representatives of the
cultural resources staff of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon examined the
faunal collections from sites 45 BN 64
(Eye site), 45 BN 77, 45 BN 81, and 35
MW 10 (Tom’s Camp site), for human
remains and associated funerary objects
that might have been misidentified. The
Collections Director and Physical
Anthropologist for the University of
Oregon Museum of Natural History
examined the materials from the faunal
collections that the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon
identified for re-examination. The
examination by the Collections Director
and Physical Anthropologist identified
human remains representing one
additional individual and one

associated funerary object from site 45
BN 81 and one associated funerary
object from site 35 MW 10. In light of
the findings from these examinations,
the original notice of inventory is
amended to include additions to the
minimum number of individuals and
associated funerary objects from 45 BN
81 site, and an addition of one
associated funerary object for site 35
MW 10 (Tom’s Camp).
The October 8, 2003 notice is
corrected by substituting the following
paragraphs:
The following paragraph is
substituted for paragraph 11:

on the south bank of the Columbia
River, in the John Day Dam project area.
No known individuals were identified.
The one associated funerary object is a
