AGENCY:
The individual has been identified as
Native American based on museum
documentation that describes the
human remains as ‘‘Dakota.’’ The
human remains were collected from the
Standing Rock Reservation, which is
inhabited by Standing Rock Sioux
Indians.
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 Sioux County, ND.
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 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 Crow Creek
Reservation, South Dakota; Flandreau
Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota;
Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower
Brule Reservation, South Dakota; Lower
Sioux Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the

In 1885, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
collected from Fort Yates, Standing
Rock Indian Reservation, Sioux County,
ND, by Mr. DeCost Smith. In 1902, the
American Museum of Natural History
acquired the human remains as a gift
from Mr. Smith. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Although the lands from which the
human remains were collected are
currently under the jurisdiction of the
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Indian Affairs, the American Museum
of Natural History has control of the
human remains since their removal
from tribal land predates the permit
requirements established by the
Antiquities Act of 1906.
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 one
individual 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 Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe of North & South 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
