Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 168 / Thursday, August 30, 2007 / Notices
The Pa cxapu band of the Weyiiletpuu
(Cayuse) wintered in the area presently
known as the City of Walla Walla. The
Weyiiletpuu had fishing sites and
summer camps along the Walla Walla
River. Oral histories identify the area as
where the Weyiiletpuu, Imatalamlama,
and Waluulapam live, and also
identified many burial places of their
ancestors within the valley and city
limits of Walla Walla. Descendants of
the Weyiiletpuu, Imatalamlama, and
Waluulapam are members of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon.
Officials of the Augusta Museum of
History have determined that, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the two cultural
items 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of an Native American individual.
Officials of the Augusta Museum of
History 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 unassociated funerary objects and
the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon.
Representatives of any other Indian
Tribes that believes itself to be
culturally affiliated with the
unassociated funerary objects should
contact Misty Tilson, Registrar, Augusta
Museum of History, 560 Reynolds St.,
Augusta, GA 30901, telephone (706) 722
– 8454, before October 1, 2007.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Augusta Museum of History is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon that this notice has
been published.
Dated: August 8, 2007.

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 control of Safety Harbor Museum
of Regional History, Safety Harbor, FL.
The human remains were removed from
Pasco County, FL.
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 was made by Safety Harbor
Museum of Regional History
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida; Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations).
In 1925, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a farm near Elfers, Pasco
County, FL, by a private land owner.
The daughter of the land owner donated
the human remains to an unnamed
museum in Oldsmar, FL. Subsequently,
the human remains were delivered by
that museum to the Safety Harbor
Museum of Regional History. In 2003,
the human remains were found in the
Safety Harbor Museum of Regional
History’s collection. Eight pottery
sherds found with the human remains
are reasonably believed to be associated
funerary objects. No known individual
was identified.
Museum records indicate that the
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from ‘‘Indian
Mound – Feb. 7, 1925, Elfers, Fla.’’
Based on dental morphology, the human
remains are believed to be Native
American. The associated funerary
objects date to the Weeden Island Period
(A.D. 200 – 900). The Tocobaga tribe
inhabited the central Florida region
during the Weeden Island Period.
Although most of the Tocobaga perished
within 200 years after the arrival of the
Spanish explorers in the early part of
the 16th century, it is reasonably
believed that those that did survive
assimilated into what became known as
the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes.
Historical and archeological evidence
establish that Seminole and Miccosukee
PO 00000

people have been residents in central
and southern Florida for several
hundred years. The Seminole and
Miccosukee are represented today by
the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of
Florida; Seminole Nation of Oklahoma;
and Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania,
Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood &
Tampa Reservations).
Officials of the Safety Harbor Museum
of Regional History 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 Safety Harbor Museum
of Regional History also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the eight 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 Safety
Harbor Museum of Regional History
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
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida;
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and
Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa
Reservations).
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Walter Bowman,
Assistant Office Manager, Safety Harbor
Museum of Regional History, 329
Bayshore Blvd. South, Safety Harbor, FL
34695, telephone (727) 726–1668, before
October 1, 2007. Repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida; Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations) may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
Safety Harbor Museum of Regional
History is responsible for notifying
