County. The Southern Ute Indian Tribe
map, ‘‘Original Ute Domain,’’ includes
Larimer County as a part of the original
domain of the Utes. Through both oral
tradition and written records, the Lakota
were known to have been in Larimer
County and other northern Colorado
counties by at least the early 1800s.
Furthermore, during consultations with
official representatives of the culturally
affiliated tribes, folklore, oral tradition,
and geographical and historical
evidence provided indicates that
Larimer County is part of their
traditional territory.
In addition to musuem records,
osteological evidence, and dental
characteristics, oral traditions,
archeological context, ethnographic
research, and ethno-historic documents
support cultural affiliation between the
human remains and descendants of the
Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne,
Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, and Ute
tribes as members of the Apache Tribe
of Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming;
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, South
Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma;
Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma;
Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico;
Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma;
Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine

Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud
Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian
Reservation, South Dakota; Southern
Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock
Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota;
Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah; and the Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, &
Utah.
In April 2002, representatives of
several of the above-mentioned Indian
tribes were consulted regarding the
cultural affiliation and disposition of
the human remains in this notice, as
well as the human remains of four
individuals described in a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register on September 12, 2002
(FR Doc. 02–23127, pages 57838–
57839). Following the April 2002
consultation, a joint claim of cultural
affiliation was authorized by nine tribes
with two other tribes subsequently
adding their signatures. The joint claim
of cultural affiliation identified the
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma
as the lead Indian tribe in the
repatriation of the four other
individuals. Reburying of the
individuals occurred in June 2003.

Since that time, further consultations
with the above-mentioned tribes have
resulted in verbal agreement to support
the joint claim of cultural affiliation and
the request that the Cheyenne-Arapaho
Tribes of Oklahoma take the lead in
repatriating and reburying the 13
individuals described in this notice.
Officials at the Fort Collins Museum
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of 13 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the Fort
Collins 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 Native American human
remains and the Apache Tribe of
Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the Wind
River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne
River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River
Reservation, South Dakota; CheyenneArapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache

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 Fort
Collins Museum, Fort Collins, CO. The
human remains were most likely
removed from Death Valley, Inyo
County, CA.
This notice is published as part of the

agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National

of the Lone Pine Community of the Lone
Pine Reservation, California.
On March 25, 1953, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were donated to the Fort
Collins Museum, by Carl W. Swanson of
Greeley, CO. Although the specific
provenience of the human remains is
unknown, according to museum
records, Mr. Swanson stated at the time
of his donation, that the skull was a
‘‘Skull from Death Valley, California.’’
In April 1999, Dr. Ann Magennis,
Professor of Anthropology at Colorado
State University, documented that the
skull and the cranial morphology
indicate that the human remains are
most probably of Native American
descent. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Death Valley, CA, is within the
traditional territory of the Paiute and
Shoshone people. Furthermore,
supporting osteological evidence, oral
traditions, archeological and
ethnographic research, and
ethnohistoric documents support a
cultural affiliation of the human
remains to the Paiute and Shoshone
tribes. Descendants of the Paiute and
Shoshone from the Death Valley area are
members of the Big Pine Band of Owens
Valley Paiute Shoshone Indians of the
Big Pine Reservation, California; Death
