remains in the possession of the
Museum of Indian Arts and Culture,
Laboratory of Anthropology, Museum of
New Mexico, New Mexico Department
of Cultural Affairs, Santa Fe, NM. The
human remains were removed from
Torrance County, NM.
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 the Museum of
Indian Arts and Culture, Laboratory of
Anthropology and Department of
Cultural Affairs professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Kiowa Indian
Tribe of Oklahoma; Mescalero Apache
Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santo

New Mexico; Wichita and Affiliated
Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco &
Tawakonie), Oklahoma; Ysleta del Sur
Pueblo of Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
This notice is an addition of a
minimum of 33 individuals from sites
LA 95 (Quarai site) and LA 97 (Abo
site), which were previously described
in a Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register on
August 29, 2000 (FR Doc 00–21974,
pages 52441–52442). The human
remains are extremely fragmentary and
were found mixed in containers of non–
human bone in the museum’s
collection. In 2000, the Museum of
Indian Arts and Culture, Laboratory of
Anthropology repatriated the human
remains of the 29 individuals described
in the Notice of Inventory Completion of
August 29, 2000, to the Ysleta Del Sur
Pueblo of Texas. At that same time,
unassociated funerary objects from the
LA 95 (Quarai site) described in a
Notice of Intent to Repatriate published
in the Federal Register on August 29,
2000 (FR Doc 00–21973, pages 52440–
52441), were also repatriated.
In 2004, the Museum of Indian Arts
and Culture, Laboratory of
Anthropology and Department of
Cultural Affairs found human remains
representing a minimum of five
individuals from site LA 97 (Abo site),
Torrance County, NM, in their
collection. The human remains had
been removed in 1944–1945, and 1958,

during legally authorized excavations
conducted by the Museum of New
Mexico. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on archeological context, the
human remains have been identified as
Native American. Based on material
culture and architectural features, site
LA 97 (Abo site) is dated to the Pueblo
IV through the early historic period
(1300 A.D.–1680 A.D.).
In 2006, the Museum of Indian Arts
and Culture, Laboratory of
Anthropology and Department of
Cultural Affairs found human remains
representing a minimum 28 individuals
from site LA 95 (Quarai site), Torrance
County, NM, in their collection. The
human remains had been removed in
1935–1936 and 1939–1940, during
legally authorized excavations
conducted as part of a multi-year
stabilization project sponsored variously
by the Museum of New Mexico, School
of American Research, and Works
Progress Administration. An additional
undetermined number of individuals
were recovered during the same time,
some of which are curated by the
Smithsonian Institution, and some of
which are missing. The human remains
found in the collections have not been
identified as part of those individuals
that were previously reported missing.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on archeological context, the
human remains have been identified as
Native American. Based on material
culture, architectural features, and
documentary evidence, site LA 95
(Quarai site) is dated to the Pueblo III to
Pueblo IV and through Spanish Contact/
Colonial (1100 A.D.–1680 A.D.).
The determination of material dates is
based on archeological context and the
cultural chronology for this region. Both
sites are classified as Ancestral
Puebloan and the human remains from
these sites were recovered from cultural
deposits containing ceramics that are
materially and stylistically consistent
with objects known to Southwestern
archeologists as Ancestral Puebloan.
Historical evidence also records these
sites as trade centers, which enjoyed
frequent contact with non–Puebloan
tribes. Descendants of Ancestral
Puebloan are members of the Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of

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 cultural items in the
possession of the Southwest Museum of
the American Indian, Autry National
Center, Los Angeles, CA, that meet the
definitions of ‘‘sacred objects’’ and
‘‘objects 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
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
This notice corrects a previously
published Notice of Intent to Repatriate
by increasing the number of cultural
items listed from 55 to 56 cultural items,
as the original notice omitted one
Dilzini Gaan headdress.
In the Federal Register of November
2, 2006, (FR Doc E6–18509, pages
64559–64561), the following corrections
are made –
The third paragraph is corrected by
substituting the following paragraph:
The 56 cultural items are 42 pieces of
Dilzini Gaandance material, 7 Dilzini
Gaan headdresses, 2 Dilzini Gaan dance
wands, 2 crosses, 1 shirt, 1 medicine
bundle, and 1 cap.
Paragraphs 9 and 10 are corrected by
substituting the following paragraphs:
On December 3, 1935, the Southwest
Museum purchased four Dilzini Gaan
headdresses from Ms. Bonnie Gray of
Burbank, CA, with money provided by
the General Charles McCormack Reeve
Fund. According to correspondence
found in the museum records, Ms. Gray
and a companion unearthed the masks
in Arizona from the floor of a deserted
Apache cabin during the middle of the

night. Museum records identify all four
headdresses as Apache ‘‘Devil Dance’’
material.
The first of the four Dilzini Gaan
headdresses is made of wooden slats
tied together with sinew arranged in a
fan shape measuring approximately 31
inches wide and 35 inches high. The
slats are decorated with small mirrors
and red, black, blue and yellow painted
zigzags, arrows, birds, and geometric
designs. A black cloth mask is attached
to the frame with two slits made for the
wearer’s eyes. The second Dilzini Gaan
headdress is made of wooden slats tied
together with sinew arranged in a fan
shape measuring approximately 30.5
inches wide and 36 inches high. Blue,
red–orange, black, purple, green, and
yellow triangles, diamonds, circles, and
other geometric shapes have been
painted on both sides of the wooden
slats. The third Dilzini Gaan headdress
is made of long wooden slats divided
into three groups and connected by
smaller wooden slats to create a fan
shaped arc tied together with sinew. It
measures approximately 26 inches wide
and 40 inches high. Red, yellow, blue,
purple, and green diamonds, scallops,
triangles, and dots have been painted on
both sides of the slats. Mirrors adhere to
the longer slats and one mirror appears
to be missing. Two tassels made of four
slender yellow wooden rods are
attached to the laterally projecting slats.
There is no mask for the headdress. The
fourth Dilzini Gaan headdress is made
of wooden slats tied together with sinew
arranged into three points. The
headdress measures approximately 17
inches wide and 18 inches high, is
decorated with black, red, and purple
chevrons and black dots on one side,
and is decorated with black, green, red,
and purple dots on the opposite side.
Paragraphs 20 to 23 are also corrected
by substituting the following:
Consultation and physical inspection
of the cultural items described above by
knowledgeable Western Apache
traditional cultural authorities of the
San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San
Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto
Apache Tribe of Arizona; White
Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort
Apache Reservation, Arizona; and
Yavapai–Apache Nation of the Camp
Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona have
identified the cultural items as
culturally affiliated with Western
Apache Indian tribes. According to the
traditional cultural authorities, the
cultural items have ongoing historical,
traditional, and cultural importance to
the Western Apache, and today, must be
returned to the tribes representing the
Western Apache to fully complete the
ceremonial cycle into which they were
