Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New

Museum that the tribe and the Mohawk
Nation Council of Chiefs are acting in
conjunction with the Mohawk
community of Canada in this matter.

six cultural items described above are
specific ceremonial items needed by
traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents. Officials of the
New York State Museum 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 St. Regis Band of
Mohawk Indians of New York and the
Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects should

Based on skeletal morphology,
geographic location, and associated
artifacts, the four individuals have been
identified as Native American, affiliated
with Athabascan culture. Although the
age of the human remains is unknown,
officials of the University of Alaska
Museum have determined that the
human remains and associated funerary
objects date to the time period of the
Athabascan occupation of the Nenana
and Fairbanks area. The determination
of cultural affiliation with the Nenana
Native Association has been based upon
oral tradition and the continuity of
Athabascan culture in the Nenana and
Fairbanks area. Present-day descendants
of Athabascans in the Nenana and
Fairbanks area are members of the
Nenana Native Association.
Officials of the University of Alaska

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the one object described above is
