compliance, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native
American. Based on the provenience,
the human remains are reasonably
believed to be Puebloan.
All individuals listed in this Notice of
Inventory Completion are reasonably
believed to be Puebloan based on the
provenience; acquisition and loan
circumstances; history of the museum
and excavator; museum’s scope of
collecting; and associated
documentation. Based on a
preponderance of evidence, a shared
group identity can be traced between
Puebloan peoples based on oral
tradition, historical evidence, folklore,
archeology, geography, linguistics,
kinship, and scientific studies, and
modern Puebloan groups. Modern
Puebloan peoples are members of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; 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

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
Oral-tradition evidence, which
consisted of migration stories, clan
histories, and origin stories, was
provided by the Hopi Tribe, Navajo
Nation, Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of
Isleta, Pueblo of Jemez, Pueblo of
Laguna, Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of
Pojoaque, Pueblo of San Ildefonso,
Pueblo of San Juan, Pueblo of Santa
Ana, Pueblo of Santa Clara, Pueblo of
Taos, Pueblo of Tesuque, Pueblo of Zia,
Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, and Zuni Tribe.
Folkloric evidence in the form of songs
was provided by tribal representatives
of the Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of
Cochiti, Pueblo of Isleta, Pueblo of
Nambe, and Pueblo of San Ildefonso.
Tribal representatives of the Pueblo of
Acoma, Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of San
Ildefonso, and Pueblo of Taos provided
linguistic evidence rooted in place
names. Pueblo of Cochiti, Pueblo of
Nambe, Pueblo of San Ildefonso, and
Pueblo of Santa Clara provided
archeological evidence based on
architecture and material culture of
their shared relationship. According to
scientific studies and oral tradition, the
Navajo share some cultural practices

with modern Puebloan peoples; and
during consultation, tribal
representatives of the Navajo Nation
emphasized their long presence in the
Four Corners and their origin in this
area, but there is not a preponderance of
evidence to support Navajo cultural
affiliation to the human remains
described in this notice.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 23
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the University of
Colorado Museum have also determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the one object described above is
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 the University of Colorado
Museum 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 object and the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of
Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico;

UT; and an unknown site in the
Southwestern United States.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by University of Colorado
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of 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 the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Prior to 1941, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from an
unknown site close to Dove Creek,
Dolores County, CO, by an unknown
individual. The human remains were
sent anonymously to the University of
Colorado Museum in the early 1990s
and cataloged into the museum
collection (catalog numbers 99509a and
99509b). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on information sent to the
museum with the human remains,
including a statement that they are from
an ‘‘Indian’’ site, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native
American. Based on the numerous late
Basketmaker and Pueblo I-III sites in the
Dove Creek area, there is a reasonable
belief that the human remains date to
circa A.D. 550–1300.
On an unknown date, but probably in
1925, human remains representing a
minimum of six individuals were
removed from the Morris site, La Plata

Canyon, La Plata County, CO, by Earl H.
Morris of the University of Colorado
Museum, and cataloged into museum
collections (catalog numbers 45219a to
45219d). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains were removed
from either Morris site number 19, 22,
or 23. All three sites are in La Plata
Canyon, 8 miles south of Red Mesa.
Based on the osteological characteristics
and excavator’s collection history, the
human remains are reasonably believed
to be Native American. The osteological
characteristics indicate the human
remains are consistent with betterdocumented Ancestral Puebloan
remains from Southwestern Colorado
dating to the Pueblo I period (A.D. 750–
900).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a site in
Ridges Basin, La Plata County, CO, by
an unknown individual. Ridges Basin is
6 miles southwest of Durango, CO, and
west of the Animas River. The human
remains were acquired by G.W.
Hoofnagle in the 1950s, purchased from
Mr. Hoofnagle by the University of
Colorado Museum in 1961, and
cataloged into the museum collection
(catalog number 21815a). No known
individual was identified. The three
associated funerary objects are one
Chapin Gray pitcher, one Chapin Gray
seed jar, and one Rosa/La Plata Blackon-White bowl.
Ridges Basin is an area of extensive
prehistoric occupation. Based on the
site location and the associated funerary
objects, the human remains are Native
American. Based on the style of the
associated funerary objects, the human
remains are Pueblo I period (A.D. 750–
900).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum three
individuals were removed from a site or
sites near Durango, La Plata County, CO,
by an unknown individual. The human
remains are reasonably believed to have
been excavated in the 1930s or 1940s.
Harold Peterson donated the human
remains to the museum in the early
1990s and the human remains were
cataloged into the museum collection
(catalog numbers 99092, 99093, and
99094). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on information on the
provenience of at least two of the sites,
which suggests they came from the
Ridges Basin area close to Durango, the
human remains are reasonably believed
to be Native American dating to circa
A.D. 750–900.

On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from an
unknown site on the first terrace just
above the Mancos River, Montezuma
County, CO, by an unknown individual.
In 1989, Fred W. Skinner donated the
human remains to the University of
Colorado Museum and the human
remains were cataloged into the
museum collection (catalog numbers
44447–1 to 44447–4). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the site description by the
donor, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native
American and are reasonably believed
to be Ancestral Pueblo. Most pueblo
ruins in the area date to circa A.D. 550–
1300.
In 1914, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a site near Aztec Ruin,
San Juan County, NM, by Mr. Morris.
The human remains were donated to the
museum by the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University, Cambridge, MA, and
cataloged into the museum collection
(catalog number 00235). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on the archeological context,
the human remains are Native
American. Based on the proximity to the
Aztec Ruin site, the human remains date
to approximately A.D. 1100–1300.
In 1916, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Morris site number 39,
located on the western river terrace just
north of the junction of the La Plata
River and Barker Arroyo in San Juan
County, NM, by Mr. Morris of the
University of Colorado. Mr. Morris’s
work was jointly financed by the
University of Colorado Museum and the
American Museum of Natural History.
The collection from this expedition was
later consolidated at the University of
Colorado Museum through the
reimbursement of the American
Museum of Natural History in 1923 and
were cataloged into the museum
collection (catalog number 698). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Morris site number 39 is a large
Ancestral Puebloan Community. Based
on archeological context, the human
remains are Native American. Based on
architecture and ceramics associated
with Morris site number 39, the human
remains are Ancestral Puebloan dating
from circa A.D. 750–1300.

In 1898, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from near Pueblo Pintado, near
the mouth of Chaco Canyon, San Juan
County, NM, by William Ross. Mr.
Morris acquired the human remains
from Mr. Ross. Sometime after 1910, the
human remains were transferred to the
museum where they were cataloged into
the collection (catalog number 760). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Pueblo Pintado is an ancestral Pueblo
community. Based on the proximity to
Pueblo Pintado and Chaco Canyon, the
human remains are reasonably believed
to be Native American. Based on the
architecture and ceramics associated
with Pueblo Pintado and Chaco Canyon,
the human remains are reasonably
believed to be Ancestral Puebloan.
Chaco Canyon occupation dates to
approximately A.D. 500–1300.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Blake
Ranch near Farmington, San Juan
County, NM, by Mr. Morris of the
University of Colorado and cataloged
into the museum collection (catalog
numbers 762–1 and 762–2). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on Mr. Morris’ assessment of
the human remains, they are reasonably
believed to be Native American. Based
on geographic location and mode of
burial, the human remains are Ancestral
Puebloan.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in the Southwestern
United States, by an unknown
individual. According to museum
documentation, a seed jar was found
with the human remains. The human
remains were cataloged into the
museum collection (catalog number
22264), but the seed jar is not in the
collection. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the association with the
seed jar, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native
American. Based on the style of the
associated funerary object, the human
remains are Ancestral Puebloan dating
to circa A.D. 750–1100.
Between 1937 and 1940, human
remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from
Monument Ruin (42SA22760), San Juan
County, UT, by Leonard Leh, an
assistant professor at the University of
Colorado. The site had been purchased
by Mr. Leh prior to excavation and may
have worked as a private collector at the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

site. In 1956, Mr. Leh donated the
human remains to the museum where
they were cataloged into the museum
collection (catalog numbers 6808, 6809,
6811, and 6812). No known individuals
were identified. The two associated
funerary objects are one Mesa Verde
Black-on-white mug and one McElmo
Black-on-White ladle.
Monument Ruin, also known as the
Wilson Ruins or Hedley Site, is adjacent
to a tributary of Monument Canyon near
the Colorado-Utah border and consists
of three separate village areas covering
over a quarter section of land in total
area. The human remains were found in
the westernmost portion of the site,
described in the site report as the West
Hill Ruins. Based on the provenience,
associated funerary objects,
archeological context, and cranial
shaping or cradleboarding, the human
remains are Native American. Based on
the style of architecture and ceramics at
the site, the use of the portion of the site
from which the human remains were
removed dates to circa A.D. 1080–1240.
Based on the style of ceramic vessels,
the human remains date to
approximately A.D. 1100–1225.
All individuals listed in this Notice of
Inventory Completion are Ancestral
Puebloan based on the archeological
context, morphology, or site dating.
Based on a preponderance of evidence,
a shared group identity can be traced
between modern Puebloan peoples and
Ancestral Puebloan peoples based on
oral tradition and scientific studies.
Modern Puebloan peoples are members
of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; 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

Pueblo of Zuni. Folkloric evidence in
the form of songs was provided by
Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of Cochiti,
Pueblo of Isleta, Pueblo of Nambe, and
Pueblo of San Ildefonso. Pueblo of
Acoma, Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of San
Ildefonso, and Pueblo of Taos provided
linguistic evidence rooted in place
names. Pueblo of Cochiti, Pueblo of
Nambe, Pueblo of San Ildefonso, and
Pueblo of Santa Clara provided
archeological evidence based on
architecture and material culture.
According to scientific studies and
oral tradition, the Navajo share some
cultural practices with modern
Puebloan peoples; and during
consultation, tribal representatives of
the Navajo Nation emphasized their
long presence in the Four Corners and
their origin in this area, but there is not
a preponderance of evidence to support
Navajo cultural affiliation to the human
remains described in this notice.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 24
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the University of
Colorado Museum have also determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the five 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 the University of Colorado
Museum 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 Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo
of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion: University of Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO. The human remains and associated funerary objects were
removed from Dolores, La Plata, and Montezuma Counties, CO; San Juan
County, NM; San Juan County,
[[Page 47521]]
UT; and an unknown site in the Southwestern United States.
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 and associated funerary objects. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary
objects was made by University of Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of 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; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah; Ysleta Del Sur
Pueblo of Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Prior to 1941, human remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from an unknown site close to Dove Creek,
Dolores County, CO, by an unknown individual. The human remains were
sent anonymously to the University of Colorado Museum in the early
1990s and cataloged into the museum collection (catalog numbers 99509a
and 99509b). No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on information sent to the museum with the human remains,
including a statement that they are from an ``Indian'' site, the human
remains are reasonably believed to be Native American. Based on the
numerous late Basketmaker and Pueblo I-III sites in the Dove Creek
area, there is a reasonable belief that the human remains date to circa
A.D. 550-1300.
On an unknown date, but probably in 1925, human remains
representing a minimum of six individuals were removed from the Morris
site, La Plata Canyon, La Plata County, CO, by Earl H. Morris of the
University of Colorado Museum, and cataloged into museum collections
(catalog numbers 45219a to 45219d). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were removed from either Morris site number 19,
22, or 23. All three sites are in La Plata Canyon, 8 miles south of Red
Mesa. Based on the osteological characteristics and excavator's
collection history, the human remains are reasonably believed to be
Native American. The osteological characteristics indicate the human
remains are consistent with better-documented Ancestral Puebloan
remains from Southwestern Colorado dating to the Pueblo I period (A.D.
750-900).
On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a site in Ridges Basin, La Plata County,
CO, by an unknown individual. Ridges Basin is 6 miles southwest of
Durango, CO, and west of the Animas River. The human remains were
acquired by G.W. Hoofnagle in the 1950s, purchased from Mr. Hoofnagle
by the University of Colorado Museum in 1961, and cataloged into the
museum collection (catalog number 21815a). No known individual was
identified. The three associated funerary objects are one Chapin Gray
pitcher, one Chapin Gray seed jar, and one Rosa/La Plata Black-on-White
bowl.
Ridges Basin is an area of extensive prehistoric occupation. Based
on the site location and the associated funerary objects, the human
remains are Native American. Based on the style of the associated
funerary objects, the human remains are Pueblo I period (A.D. 750-900).
On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum three
individuals were removed from a site or sites near Durango, La Plata
County, CO, by an unknown individual. The human remains are reasonably
believed to have been excavated in the 1930s or 1940s. Harold Peterson
donated the human remains to the museum in the early 1990s and the
human remains were cataloged into the museum collection (catalog
numbers 99092, 99093, and 99094). No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on information on the provenience of at least two of the
sites, which suggests they came from the Ridges Basin area close to
Durango, the human remains are reasonably believed to be Native
American dating to circa A.D. 750-900.
On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from an unknown site on the first terrace just
above the Mancos River, Montezuma County, CO, by an unknown individual.
In 1989, Fred W. Skinner donated the human remains to the University of
Colorado Museum and the human remains were cataloged into the museum
collection (catalog numbers 44447-1 to 44447-4). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the site description by the donor, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native American and are reasonably believed
to be Ancestral Pueblo. Most pueblo ruins in the area date to circa
A.D. 550-1300.
In 1914, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were removed from a site near Aztec Ruin, San Juan County, NM, by Mr.
Morris. The human remains were donated to the museum by the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA,
and cataloged into the museum collection (catalog number 00235). No
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on the archeological context, the human remains are Native
American. Based on the proximity to the Aztec Ruin site, the human
remains date to approximately A.D. 1100-1300.
In 1916, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were removed from Morris site number 39, located on the western river
terrace just north of the junction of the La Plata River and Barker
Arroyo in San Juan County, NM, by Mr. Morris of the University of
Colorado. Mr. Morris's work was jointly financed by the University of
Colorado Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. The
collection from this expedition was later consolidated at the
University of Colorado Museum through the reimbursement of the American
Museum of Natural History in 1923 and were cataloged into the museum
collection (catalog number 698). No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Morris site number 39 is a large Ancestral Puebloan Community.
Based on archeological context, the human remains are Native American.
Based on architecture and ceramics associated with Morris site number
39, the human remains are Ancestral Puebloan dating from circa A.D.
750-1300.
[[Page 47522]]
In 1898, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were removed from near Pueblo Pintado, near the mouth of Chaco Canyon,
San Juan County, NM, by William Ross. Mr. Morris acquired the human
remains from Mr. Ross. Sometime after 1910, the human remains were
transferred to the museum where they were cataloged into the collection
(catalog number 760). No known individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Pueblo Pintado is an ancestral Pueblo community. Based on the
proximity to Pueblo Pintado and Chaco Canyon, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native American. Based on the architecture
and ceramics associated with Pueblo Pintado and Chaco Canyon, the human
remains are reasonably believed to be Ancestral Puebloan. Chaco Canyon
occupation dates to approximately A.D. 500-1300.
On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Blake Ranch near Farmington, San Juan
County, NM, by Mr. Morris of the University of Colorado and cataloged
into the museum collection (catalog numbers 762-1 and 762-2). No known
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on Mr. Morris' assessment of the human remains, they are
reasonably believed to be Native American. Based on geographic location
and mode of burial, the human remains are Ancestral Puebloan.
On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an unknown site in the Southwestern United
States, by an unknown individual. According to museum documentation, a
seed jar was found with the human remains. The human remains were
cataloged into the museum collection (catalog number 22264), but the
seed jar is not in the collection. No known individual was identified.
No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the association with the seed jar, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Native American. Based on the style of the
associated funerary object, the human remains are Ancestral Puebloan
dating to circa A.D. 750-1100.
Between 1937 and 1940, human remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Monument Ruin (42SA22760), San Juan
County, UT, by Leonard Leh, an assistant professor at the University of
Colorado. The site had been purchased by Mr. Leh prior to excavation
and may have worked as a private collector at the site. In 1956, Mr.
Leh donated the human remains to the museum where they were cataloged
into the museum collection (catalog numbers 6808, 6809, 6811, and
6812). No known individuals were identified. The two associated
funerary objects are one Mesa Verde Black-on-white mug and one McElmo
Black-on-White ladle.
Monument Ruin, also known as the Wilson Ruins or Hedley Site, is
adjacent to a tributary of Monument Canyon near the Colorado-Utah
border and consists of three separate village areas covering over a
quarter section of land in total area. The human remains were found in
the westernmost portion of the site, described in the site report as
the West Hill Ruins. Based on the provenience, associated funerary
objects, archeological context, and cranial shaping or cradleboarding,
the human remains are Native American. Based on the style of
architecture and ceramics at the site, the use of the portion of the
site from which the human remains were removed dates to circa A.D.
1080-1240. Based on the style of ceramic vessels, the human remains
date to approximately A.D. 1100-1225.
All individuals listed in this Notice of Inventory Completion are
Ancestral Puebloan based on the archeological context, morphology, or
site dating. Based on a preponderance of evidence, a shared group
identity can be traced between modern Puebloan peoples and Ancestral
Puebloan peoples based on oral tradition and scientific studies. Modern
Puebloan peoples are members of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; 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. Oral-tradition evidence, which consisted of migration
stories, clan histories, and origin stories was provided by the Hopi
Tribe, Navajo Nation, Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of Isleta, Pueblo of
Jemez, Pueblo of Laguna, Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of Pojoaque, Pueblo of
San Ildefonso, Pueblo of San Juan, Pueblo of Santa Ana, Pueblo of Santa
Clara, Pueblo of Taos, Pueblo of Tesuque, Pueblo of Ysleta del Sur,
Pueblo of Zia, and Pueblo of Zuni. Folkloric evidence in the form of
songs was provided by Pueblo of Acoma, Pueblo of Cochiti, Pueblo of
Isleta, Pueblo of Nambe, and Pueblo of San Ildefonso. Pueblo of Acoma,
Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of San Ildefonso, and Pueblo of Taos provided
linguistic evidence rooted in place names. Pueblo of Cochiti, Pueblo of
Nambe, Pueblo of San Ildefonso, and Pueblo of Santa Clara provided
archeological evidence based on architecture and material culture.
According to scientific studies and oral tradition, the Navajo
share some cultural practices with modern Puebloan peoples; and during
consultation, tribal representatives of the Navajo Nation emphasized
their long presence in the Four Corners and their origin in this area,
but there is not a preponderance of evidence to support Navajo cultural
affiliation to the human remains described in this notice.
Officials of the University of Colorado Museum have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of 24 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the University of Colorado Museum have
also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the five
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 the University
of Colorado Museum 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
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; 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.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary
objects should contact Steve Lekson, Curator of
[[Page 47523]]
