DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural
Item: Institute for American Indian
Studies, Washington, CT
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate a cultural item in the
possession of the Institute for American
Indian Studies, Washington, CT, that
meets the definition of ‘‘cultural
patrimony’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
item. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The one cultural item is a ‘‘Dakota
Sioux’’ navel amulet. The amulet was
collected by Bishop Frederick Foote
Johnson of South Dakota (circa 1890–
1900). In 1983, the amulet was donated
to the Institute for American Indian
Studies by Mr. and Mrs. Stanley King of
Newtown, CT. The museum has no
additional information on the
circumstances under which either Mr.
Johnson or the Kings came to possess
this cultural item. Museum records
identify it as ‘‘Dakota Sioux.’’ The
leather amulet is in the shape of a
lizard. It is covered on top with sinewsewn beadwork in green, white, blues,
and red. Red horsehair tassels with tin
cones are sewn with cotton thread to the
ends of the animal’s legs, head, and tail.
It is 5.5 inches long.
The Institute for American Indian
Studies professional staff consulted
with representatives of the SissetonWahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse
Reservation, South Dakota and Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South
Dakota. Tribal representatives
confirmed the traditional cultural
importance of the amulet to the Sioux
tribal peoples and the determination
that the amulet could not be alienated
by a single individual because of its
PO 00000
Frm 00045

symbolic importance to the Dakota
belief system. The Standing Rock Sioux
have made a claim for the cultural item.
Officials of the Institute for American
Indian Studies have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the
cultural item described above has
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
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 object of
cultural patrimony 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 object of cultural
patrimony should contact Dr. Lucianne
Lavin, Director of Research and
Collections, Institute for American
Indian Studies, 38 Curtis Road,
Washington, CT 06793, telephone (860)
868–0518, before August 28, 2006.
Repatriation of the object of cultural
patrimony to the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe of North & South Dakota may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Institute for American Indian
Studies is responsible for notifying the
Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake
Traverse Reservation, South Dakota and
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North &
South Dakota that this notice has been
published.

human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from two separate
sites in the Rincon Mountain District of
Saguaro National Park, Pima County,
AZ.
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 superintendent, Saguaro National
Park.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by Saguaro National Park
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. The Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona was contacted, but did not
attend the consultation meeting and was
represented by the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona.
In 1970, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the Freeman Site in Pima
County, AZ, during legally authorized
excavations under the direction of Jack
R. Zahniser. No known individuals were
identified. The four associated funerary
objects are one Tanque Verde red on
brown pottery bowl, one large stone
flake chopper, one worked stone, and
one soil sample taken from the area
encompassing the remains. Saguaro
National Park took possession of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in 1983 and 1984.
In 1970, human remains representing
a minimum of four individuals were
removed from the Pithouse Village Site
in Pima County, AZ, during legally
authorized excavations under the
direction of Jack R. Zahniser. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Saguaro National Park took possession
of the human remains in 1983 and 1984.
Based on the burial type and location,
as well as available archeological and
historical information, the human
remains have been identified as Native
American. The Freeman Site and the
Pithouse Village Site are both Tucson
Basin Hohokam villages that span the
Rillito and Rincon phases (A.D. 700–
1150).
The Hohokam were a sedentary
agricultural people developing out of
the local Archaic population. Hohokam
settlement pattern was predominantly of

rancheria type, with pithouse or housein-pit architecture. Ballcourts are often
found at Hohokam sites. Pit or urn
cremations were the predominant burial
practice prior to A.D. 1100. Extended
supine inhumations then became more
prevalent, completely replacing
cremations by A.D. 1300. There was a
pronounced, though far from complete,
decline in population after about A.D.
1350.
Overall, the archeological (including
material culture, architectural styles,
and burial practices), ethnographic, and
historical evidence indicate affiliation
with a number of contemporary
indigenous groups including the Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. In
addition, the oral traditions of these six
tribes support ancestral ties to the
Hohokam.
Officials of Saguaro National Park
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
and funerary objects described above
represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Saguaro National
Park also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
four 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. Lastly,
officials of Saguaro National Park 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
associated funerary objects and the Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Sarah Craighead,
