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 control of the Colorado
Archaeological Society, Denver Chapter,
Denver, CO. The human remains were
removed from Jefferson County, CO.
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 Colorado Archaeological Society,
Denver Chapter that has control of the
Native American human remains. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
The Colorado Archaeological Society,
Denver Chapter is a private, non–profit
organization that has not received
federal funding and is not legally
associated with any museum or other
institution that falls under the purview
of NAGPRA. The Colorado
Archaeological Society, Denver Chapter
proposes to repatriate a minimum of
seven individuals to the Ute Mountain
Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Between 1974 and 1984, human
remains representing a minimum of
seven individuals were removed from
sites 5JF52, 5JF48, 5JF211, and 5JF321
in Jefferson County, CO, during
archeological investigations by the
Colorado Archaeological Society,
Denver Chapter. No known individuals
were identified. The associated funerary
objects identified with the human
remains have previously been
repatriated.
The morphologic characteristics of the
human remains are consistent with
Native American lineage. The contexts
of the burials suggest affiliation to the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:34 Jun 01, 2007
Jkt 211001
Middle to Late Archaic Periods (B.C.
3000 to 200 A.D.). Radiocarbon dates on
charcoal found in association with the
burials supports this time frame. During
consultation, representatives of the Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah considered the human remains to
be ancestral to them. Based on
archeological context, morphology,
geography, and tribal consultation, the
Colorado Archaeological Society,
Denver Chapter reasonably believes the
human remains to be culturally
affiliated with the Ute Mountain Tribe
of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Officials of the Colorado
Archaeological Society, Denver Chapter
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of seven individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Colorado Archaeological Society,
Denver Chapter 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 Ute Mountain Tribe of
the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. William Hammond,
635 S. Alton Way ι12C, Denver, CO

At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unspecified site in Minnesota. In 1940,
C.H. Hannington donated the human
remains to the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science, calling them ‘‘Sioux.’’
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are the complete
cranium and mandible of an adult
female. The skull was identified as
Native American by physical
anthropologists at the museum. Copper
staining around the mastoids suggests
that copper ear spools were worn and
provides further evidence of Native
American identification. Native copper
was used prehistorically and copper
earrings were also known trade items of
Indian people of Minnesota during the
historic period.
Written and scholarly accounts of the
presence of the Sioux in Minnesota, and
information from consultation, indicates
that several Sioux groups have occupied
large areas of Minnesota for the past
several hundred years. Based on donor
information, provenience, and tribal
consultation the Native American
human remains are reasonably believed
to be Sioux. The Sioux groups that
occupied Minnesota are represented by
