In 1936, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an area on the Navajo Reservation west of Shiprock, San Juan County, NM, by U.S. Commissioner J.H. Jackson. Osteological data cannot conclusively identify cultural affiliation. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs 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 Bureau of Indian Affairs also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a relationship of shared group identity cannot reasonably be traced between the Native American human remains and any present-day Indian tribe. Lastly, officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that the physical remains of the one individual of Native American ancestry are culturally unidentifiable. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee (Review Committee) is responsible for recommending specific actions for disposition of culturally unidentifiable human remains. In February 2006, Mesa Verde National Park requested that the Review Committee recommend repatriation of 25 culturally unidentifiable human remains, including one set of culturally unidentifiable human remains under the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:52 Mar 16, 2006 Jkt 208001 control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Juan, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New Mexico; Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico; Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. These 22 Indian tribes had requested the human remains and have demonstrated a cultural relationship to the region.

assessed the cultural affiliation of the cultural items in consultation 
with representatives of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation,

The Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; 
Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas 
were unable to attend the Native American consultation meetings, but 
they requested and received the minutes of these proceedings.
    In 1936, human remains representing a minimum of one individual 
were removed from an area on the Navajo Reservation west of Shiprock, 
San Juan County, NM, by U.S. Commissioner J.H. Jackson. Osteological 
data cannot conclusively identify cultural affiliation. No known 
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs 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 Bureau of Indian Affairs also determined 
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a relationship of shared group 
identity cannot reasonably be traced between the Native American human 
remains and any present-day Indian tribe. Lastly, officials of the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that the physical remains of the 
one individual of Native American ancestry are culturally 
unidentifiable.
    The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review 
Committee (Review Committee) is responsible for recommending specific 
actions for disposition of culturally unidentifiable human remains. In 
February 2006, Mesa Verde National Park requested that the Review 
Committee recommend repatriation of 25 culturally unidentifiable human 
remains, including one set of culturally unidentifiable human remains 
under the control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to the Hopi Tribe of 
Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma,

Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, 
New Mexico. These 22 Indian tribes had requested the human remains and 
have demonstrated a cultural relationship to the region. The Review 
Committee considered the proposal at its March 3, 2006 meeting via

Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, & Utah; 
Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of

of Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New 
Mexico; Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 
Reservation, New Mexico.
    A March 3, 2006, letter from the Designated Federal Official on 
behalf of the chair of the Review Committee to the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs transmitted the Review Committee's recommendation that the 
Agency effect disposition of the physical remains of the one culturally 
unidentifiable individual to the 22 Indian tribes listed above 
contingent on the publication of a Notice of Inventory Completion in 
the Federal Register. This notice fulfills that requirement.
