Wellfleet, MA 02667.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
assessment standards outlined in NPS
Management Policies (2001) to
determine if a roadless, undeveloped
area is suitable for preservation as
wilderness are that it is over 5,000 acres
in size or of sufficient size to make
practicable its preservation and use in
an unimpaired condition, and meets
five wilderness character criteria: (1)
The earth and its community of life are
untrammeled by humans, where
humans are visitors and do not remain;
(2) the area is undeveloped and retains
its primeval character and influence,
without permanent improvements or
human habitation; (3) the area generally
appears to have been affected primarily
by the forces of nature, with the imprint
of humans’ work substantially
unnoticeable; (4) the area is protected
and managed so as to preserve its
natural conditions, and (5) the area
offers outstanding opportunities for
solitude or a primitive and unconfined
type of recreation.
The requirement of the NPS to
conduct the Wilderness Suitability
Assessment for Cape Cod National
Seashore was announced and discussed
with the Cape Cod Advisory Committee
members, the public, and local media
representatives at meetings on June 20,
September 26, and December 12, 2005.

Notice of Assessment of Suitability
and Non-Suitability for Further Study
of Lands Within Redwood National
Park for Consideration as Wilderness
Areas
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Civil Action No.
03–04 (RMC), The Wilderness Society v.
Gale Norton, January 10, 2005, and in
accordance with National Park Service
(NPS) Management Policies 2001
section 6.2.1, the NPS has completed a
Wilderness Suitability Assessment to
determine if lands within Redwood
National Park meet criteria indicating
suitability for preservation as
wilderness.
The Redwood National Park staff
reviewed management related
documents that discussed potential
wilderness, reviewed existing resource
conditions, and weighed this

information against Primary Suitability
Criteria, section 6.2.1.1, of Management
Policies 2001.
Since the expansion of Redwood
National Park in 1978, the park has
undertaken an intense watershed
rehabilitation program with a focus on
removing roads. Since park expansion
in 1978, about 219 miles of road have
been removed and another 123 miles are
proposed for removal within the
Redwood Creek portion of the park. The
1999 Final General Management/
General Plan and FEIS for Redwood
National and State Parks states that until
watershed restoration activities are
completed that no wilderness area will
be proposed. The 1979 General
Management Plan concluded that a
wilderness recommendation would be
premature until rehabilitation efforts are
completed because of the continuing
need for large construction vehicles and
the maintenance and heavy use of roads,
activities inconsistent with wilderness
designation.
Based on these findings, the NPS has
concluded that the lands within
Redwood National Park do not warrant
further study for wilderness evaluation
at this time. However, following
successful completion of watershed
restoration activities in 12–15 years, or
during the next General Management
Plan effort, reconsideration of
wilderness suitability for certain tracts
of land within Redwood Creek could be
warranted.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the Wilderness
Suitability Assessment can be obtained
by writing to: Superintendent, Redwood
National Park, 1111 Second Street,
Crescent City, CA 95531.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for further information on this
Determination should be directed to:
Superintendent, Redwood National
Park, 1111 Second Street, Crescent City,
CA 95531.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
assessment standards outlined in NPS
Management Policies (2001) to
determine if a roadless, undeveloped
area is suitable for preservation as
wilderness are that it is over 5000 acres
in size or of sufficient size to make
practicable its preservation and use in
an unimpaired condition, and meets
five wilderness character criteria: (1)
The earth and its community of life are
untrammeled by humans, where
humans are visitors and do not remain;
(2) the area is undeveloped and retains
its primeval character and influence,
without permanent improvements or
human habitation; (3) the area generally
appears to have been affected primarily
by the forces fo nature, with the imprint

of humans’ work substantially
unnoticeable; (4) the area is protected
and managed so as to preserve its
natural conditions; and (5) the area
offers outstanding opportunities for
solitude or a primitive and unconfined
type of recreation.
Public notices announcing the park’s
intention to conduct this suitability
assessment were placed in the Times
Standard Newspaper in Humboldt
County on December 7, 8 and 9, 2005,
and in the Del Norte Triplicate, in Del
Norte County on December 13, 14, and

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
University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology,
Philadelphia, PA. The human remains
were removed from an unknown
location in Wisconsin.
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 the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the
Cheyenne River Reservation, South
Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the

At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in Wisconsin (UPMι L–
606–0605), by Dr. William C. Poole. At
an unknown date, probably between
1830 and 1839, Dr. Poole sent the
remains to Dr. Samuel George Morton,
President of the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia as a
contribution to his collection of human
crania. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
From about 1830, the Academy of
Natural Sciences in Philadelphia
provided storage space for much of Dr.
Morton’s collection, including the
human remains, until his death in 1852.
In 1853, the collection was purchased
from Dr. Morton’s estate and formally
presented to the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia. In 1966, Dr.
Morton’s collection, including the
human remains, were loaned to the
University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology until
1997, when the collection was formally
gifted to the museum.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the specific cultural and geographic
attribution in the museum records.
Collector’s records, museum
documentation, and published sources
(Morton 1839, 1840, and 1849; Meigs
1857) identify the human remains as
those of a female ‘‘Dacota’’ Sioux
warrior of Wisconsin and date them to
the Historic period, probably to the
early 19th century. Scholarly
publications indicate that Wisconsin
was an area settled by the Dakota groups
during the early 19th century. The
Dakota are the eastern group of the
Sioux, and comprised of the Sisseton,
the Wahpeton, and the Santee, who in
turn are composed of the Wahpekute
and Mdewakanton. Dakota descendants
are members of the Flandreau Santee

Officials of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology 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 University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology 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 Flandreau Santee Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux
Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota;

tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Richard M.
