Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2006 / Notices
published by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency on July 9, 2004 (69
FR 41476), commencing the required
30-day no-action period. The final EIS
describes and analyzes the
environmental impacts of four action
alternatives and a no-action alternative.
The NPS has decided to adopt the
Preferred Alternative as presented in the
final EIS. This will result in conveyance
of 1,034 acres to the state of Alaska. The
Preferred Alternative is a slight
variation of the final EIS Maximum
Boundary Alternative. The Maximum
Boundary Alternative included the
entire 1,145 acres of Glacier Bay park
land identified in the Act as potentially
available for exchange and the
development of a hydroelectric power
project. Because 95 acres in the upper
portion of the Falls Creek area was not
needed for construction of the
hydroelectric power project, the
Maximum Boundary Alternative was
reduced by this amount. To compensate
for the 1,034 acres in Glacier Bay that
will be exchanged to the state of Alaska,
the state of Alaska will transfer to NPS,
approximately 1,040 acres of Chilkoot
parcels within Klondike Gold Rush.
This land will be administered as part
of the historical park. Upon completion
of the exchange of land under this Act,
the Secretary shall adjust, as necessary,
the boundaries of Glacier Bay to exclude
the land exchanged to the State of
Alaska and at Klondike Gold Rush to
include the land acquired from the State
of Alaska.
In accordance with Section 2(b) of the
Boundary Act, to compensate for the
1,034 acres deleted from the National
Wilderness Preservation System at
Glacier Bay, the unnamed island near
Blue Mouse Cove and Cenotaph Island,
totaling 1,069 acres, will be designated
as wilderness. The wilderness
boundaries in the Falls Creek, Blue
Mouse Cove, and Cenotaph Island areas
will be adjusted accordingly.
Dated: March 21, 2006.

Regional Director, Alaska.

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
American Museum of Natural History,
New York, NY. The human remains
were collected from Morton and Oliver
Counties, ND, and Hughes County, SD.
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 American
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
Prior to 1877, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from a village
site, Fort Lincoln, Morton County, ND,
on the Missouri River. The human
remains were collected by an unknown
person. It is unclear how the museum
received the remains. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The individual has been identified as
Native American based on museum
documentation that describes the
remains as ‘‘Hidatsa?’’ The human
remains have not been dated, but
originated from an area occupied during
the early postcontact period by the
Mandan people, who are now part of the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.
Given the description of their
geographic origin, the human remains
may have come from On-a-Slant Village,
a Mandan settlement abandoned in
1781.
In 1916, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
collected from Old Fort Clark in Oliver
County, ND, by Rev. Gilbert L. Wilson.
The American Museum of Natural
History purchased the human remains
from Rev. Wilson in 1917. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The individual has been identified as
Native American based on geographic
origin. The location of the human
remains is consistent with the
postcontact territory of the Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota. In 1827,
most of the Arikara and some of the
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
25607
Mandan people settled near Fort Clark.
An Arikara cemetery is present at Fort
Clark. Based on the association of the
human remains with historic Fort Clark,
the remains are most likely postcontact.
In 1939, human remains representing
a minimum of six individuals were
collected from the Arzberger site,
Hughes County, SD, by Columbia
University. The American Museum of
Natural History acquired the human
remains as a gift from Columbia
University in 1964. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The individuals have been identified
as Native American based on geographic
origin, mortuary practices, and catalog
records. The catalog indicates the
remains are ‘‘probably Arikara.’’ Flexed
inhumations on elevated land forms
immediately outside villages are
consistent with late precontact and
postcontact Arikara mortuary practices.
Officials of the American Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the American
Museum of Natural History 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 Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Nell Murphy, Director of
Cultural Resources, American Museum
of Natural History, Central Park West at
79th Street, New York, NY 10024–5192,
telephone (212) 769–5837, before May
31, 2006. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The American Museum of Natural
History is responsible for notifying the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota that
this notice has been published.
Dated: March 24, 2006.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
