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 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

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:

According to Western Apache
traditional cultural authorities, the 56

the Creator. The Creator is the only One
who has the right to possess the cultural
items after their use by humans. The
cultural items must be put away

as such, the cultural items are sacred
objects. The Western Apache are
represented today by the federally
recognized 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.
These four tribes are members of the
Western Apache NAGPRA Working

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 in the possession of the Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum (Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains were removed from Chelan
County, WA.
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. National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington and Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Sometime before 1948, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Stehekin
in Chelan County, WA, by Harold
Wheeler. In 1948, the human remains
were loaned to the Burke Museum by
Mr. Wheeler (Burke Accn. #3512). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were previously
determined to not be Native American.
After further review based on
osteological information, the
preponderance of the evidence
identifies the human remains as Native
American.
According to early and late
ethnographic documentation, the
Stehekin area was occupied by the
Chelan tribe and is their aboriginal land
(Miller 1998; Ray 1936; Ruby and
Brown 1986; and Spier 1936).
Information provided during
consultation by representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington confirms that
the Chelan tribe traditionally occupied
the Stehekin area. Descendants of the
Chelan Tribe are members of the
PO 00000

Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the Burke Museum 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
Burke Museum 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 Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke
Museum, University of Washington, Box
353010, Seattle, WA 98195–3010,
telephone (206) 685–2282, before May 2,
2007. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying the Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington and Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington
that this notice has been published.

to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the Southwest Museum
of the American Indian, Autry National Center, Los Angeles, CA, that

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,

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

measures approximately 17 inches wide and 18 inches high, is decorated
