Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Notices
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the
University of Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO. The human remains were
removed from Montezuma 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 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 University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain
Ute Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah.
In 1954, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
excavated by Hod Stevenson on his
property at the edge of Yellow Jacket
Canyon, Montezuma County, CO. In
1959, Mr. Stevenson donated the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the museum. No known individual
was identified. The seven associated
funerary objects are two plain–weave,
diyugi–style Navajo blankets; one coil of
braided rawhide; one small piece of
twined hair; one basket in the shape of
a dipper; one lot of juniper bark; and
one lot of charcoal. A piece of rolled
leather was not collected when the
burial was excavated.
The human remains were found in a
flexed, seated position facing east and
wrapped in two plain–weave, diyugi–
style Navajo blankets in an east–facing
rock shelter, and appear to have been
placed in a shallow pit. The burial had
been covered with juniper bark and the
pit had been filled with sandy sediment.
In 1959, University of Colorado
Museum curator, Joe Ben Wheat, visited
the site and found a small charcoal
pictograph of a long–legged horse and
rider at the back of the rock shelter from
which the burial had been removed.
Based on the burial context, the human
remains are Native American.
The Indian Land Areas Judicially
Established 1978 Map indicates the
claim to land in southwestern Colorado
is based upon historic use by the Ute
and Navajo tribes. The style of the
drawing found in the rock shelter is
similar to historic Ute pictographs
(Legacy on Stone, Sally J. Cole, 1990).

places their manufacture at
approximately A.D. 1800. Navajo
diyugi–style blankets were commonly
traded to northern allies in Colorado,
such as the Ute, in the late 18th century.
In the last 250 years, the presence of the
Ute tribes in the area of western
Colorado has been historically
documented by both Spanish and U.S.
records. The present northern boundary
of the Ute Mountain Reservation is only
12 miles to the south of the burial site.
In consultations, representatives of the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado and
Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New
Mexico & Utah provided evidence in the
form of histories and oral traditions that
place their tribes in a very large area
that encompasses the location of the
burial. Representatives from both Indian
tribes identified details about the burial
as possibly Ute.
At the estimated time of the burial,
historical accounts located the Ute
bands whose descendants are now
members of the Southern Ute Indian
Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation,
Colorado and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of
the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah in an
area stretching from southwestern to
south central Colorado to northwestern
New Mexico. Historical accounts placed
the other Ute bands whose descendants
are members of the Ute Indian Tribe of
the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah in
an area between the Gunnison River in
Colorado and the Uintah Basin in Utah
in A.D. 1800. Officials of the University
of Colorado Museum reasonably believe
the human remains are Ute based on the
preponderance of the evidence
including geographical, archeological,
historical, oral–tradition, and expert
opinion. Descendants of the Ute are
members of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe
of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation,
Utah; and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of the
Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado,
New Mexico & Utah
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 one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
seven 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 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 associated funerary objects and the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah; and 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 and
associated funerary objects should
contact Steve Lekson, Curator of
Anthropology, University of Colorado
Museum, Henderson Building, Campus

objects to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
of the Southern Ute Reservation,
Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
University of Colorado Museum is
responsible for notifying the Southern
Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe
of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation,
Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New
Mexico & Utah that this notice has been
