Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 38420 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 129 / Thursday, July 6, 2006 / Notices In the early 1970s, the Institute for American Indian Studies purchased the two cultural items from the Rogers family as part of their acquisition of the Edward H. Rogers collection. Mr. Rogers was a collector residing in Devon, CT, who excavated, traded, and bought archeological items from throughout the Western Hemisphere. The bulk of his collection is from New England. It was accumulated during the early and midtwentieth century. According to Mr. Rogers’ notebooks, he purchased the two elbow pipes from Mr. Harry Hathaway of Devon, CT, in 1940. According to Mr. Rogers’ notes, Mr. Hathaway believed that Mr. Andrew Chase had removed the two elbow pipes, along with a glass bottle and spectacles, from an ‘‘Indian Grave’’ in Tiverton, RI, in 1900. Nothing further is known about the present disposition of the glass bottle and spectacles. Since the lands presently known as Rhode Island are claimed by the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island as their ancient homelands, and the claim appears to be supported by historical documents, the Institute for American Indian Studies believes that a preponderance of evidence shows a cultural affiliation with the Narragansett peoples. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the two cultural items described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony and are believed, by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed from a specific burial site of a Native American individual. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies 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 two unassociated funerary objects and the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should contact Dr. Lucianne Lavin, Director of Research and Collections, Institute for American Indian Studies, Washington, CT 06793, telephone (860) 868–0518, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the two unassociated funerary objects to the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Institute for American Indian Studies is responsible for notifying the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:01 Jul 05, 2006 Jkt 208001 Island that this notice has been published.

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 and associated funerary objects in the possession of the University of Nebraska State Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE. The human remains were collected from Dakota, Douglas, and Thurston Counties, NE and from an unknown location. 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 University of Nebraska State Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. At an unknown time, human remains representing a minimum of four individuals were removed from an unknown location. In 1998, the human remains, which were labelled ‘‘Omaha 2,3,4,5’’ were found in Bessey Hall on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The human remains show evidence of having been the subject of scientific analysis, but the sample numbers cannot be related to any records of prior study. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The condition of the human remains is consistent with archeological derivation. Given the designation ‘‘Omaha’’ on the labels, and that prior studies on Omaha human remains have PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 been conducted under University of Nebraska auspices, it has been determined that the individuals are affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. On December 8, 1932, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from the Omaha Creek site in Dakota and Thurston Counties, NE, by the University of Nebraska Archaeological Survey. No known individuals were identified. The 71 associated funerary objects are 8 copper thimbles, 19 copper feather holders, 5 metal buttons, 8 textile scraps, 2 mirror fragments, 27 iron fragments, 1 chipped stone tool fragment, and 1 gunflint. Based on the condition of the human remains, the individuals have been determined to be Native American. Based on the apparent historic age of the human remains, the location of the burial, and the historic nature of the associated funerary objects, the individuals have been determined to be affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. In 1907, human remains representing a minimum of four individuals were removed from the Ponca Creek District in Douglas County, NE, by Robert F. Gilder under the auspices of the University of Nebraska State Museum. The site is approximately 10 miles north of the city of Omaha on the south side of Ponca Creek. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Preservation resembles that of human remains from historic sites. A tag on the human remains states ‘‘from presumably Omaha burial.’’ Based on the condition of the human remains, the individuals have been determined to be Native American. Based on the apparent historic age and location of burial, the individuals have been determined to be affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. Officials of the University of Nebraska have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of ten individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the University of Nebraska also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 71 objects described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.

    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 and associated funerary 
objects in the possession of the University of Nebraska State Museum, 
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE. The human remains were 
collected from Dakota, Douglas, and Thurston Counties, NE and from an 
unknown location.
    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 University 
of Nebraska State Museum professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska.
    At an unknown time, human remains representing a minimum of four 
individuals were removed from an unknown location. In 1998, the human

remains show evidence of having been the subject of scientific 
analysis, but the sample numbers cannot be related to any records of 
prior study. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    The condition of the human remains is consistent with archeological 
derivation. Given the designation ``Omaha'' on the labels, and that 
prior studies on Omaha human remains have been conducted under 
University of Nebraska auspices, it has been determined that the 
individuals are affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska.
    On December 8, 1932, human remains representing a minimum of two 
individuals were removed from the Omaha Creek site in Dakota and 
Thurston Counties, NE, by the University of Nebraska Archaeological 
Survey. No known individuals were identified. The 71 associated 
funerary objects are 8 copper thimbles, 19 copper feather holders, 5 
metal buttons, 8 textile scraps, 2 mirror fragments, 27 iron fragments, 
1 chipped stone tool fragment, and 1 gunflint.
    Based on the condition of the human remains, the individuals have 
been determined to be Native American. Based on the apparent historic 
age of the human remains, the location of the burial, and the historic 
nature of the associated funerary objects, the individuals have been 
determined to be affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska.
    In 1907, human remains representing a minimum of four individuals 
were removed from the Ponca Creek District in Douglas County, NE, by 
Robert F. Gilder under the auspices of the University of Nebraska State 
Museum. The site is approximately 10 miles north of the city of Omaha 
on the south side of Ponca Creek. No known individuals were identified.

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above 
represent the physical remains of ten individuals of Native American 
ancestry. Officials of the University of Nebraska also have determined
