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 the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science, Denver, CO. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Arapahoe
and Weld Counties, 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 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 Denver Museum
of Nature & Science professional staff in
consultation with the Arapahoe Tribe of
the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming;
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the
Cheyenne River Reservation, South
Dakota; Comanche Nation of Oklahoma;

In 1972, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a construction site on
private land in Aurora, Arapahoe
County, CO, by the County Coroner for
the Department of Health and Hospitals
and turned over to the museum (DMNS
catalogue numbers A786.1–9). No
known individual was identified. The
12 associated funerary objects are 6 vials
of white and light blue Italian glass
pony beads (including one soil sample
with beads intermixed); strands of an
animal’s hair; fragments of 1 metal belt
buckle; and 4 sets of fragments of
textiles, probably wool.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that the individual is Native American.
During the first half of the 19th century
the larger Italian glass seed beads were
widely traded from the Upper Missouri
River Valley south into the Great Plains
and were used by Indian tribes of the
Colorado High Plains. The textile
fragments are a basic twill and plain
weave in simple stripe patterns using
hand spun yarns. Analysis suggests that
the textiles could have originated from
any of the Navajo, Pueblo, or Spanish
American weaving areas of the
Southwest. Textiles from these areas
were commonly traded to the Plains
Indians throughout the 19th century. On
the basis of the funerary objects
associated with the human remains, the
estimated date of the burial is between
A.D. 1800 and 1860.
In 1939, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from a construction site two
miles west of Johnston, Weld County,
CO, by unknown parties associated with
the Works Progress Administration.
Later that same year, Forest L. Powers
of the Works Progress Administration

donated the human remains to the
museum (DMNS catalogue numbers
A53.1–15). No known individuals were
identified. The 19 associated funerary
objects are 2 fragments of copper wire;
1 fragment of a wooden bow; 1 catlinite
pipe bowl fragment; 1 leather clothing
fragment with blue pony beads; rusted
fragments of 1 metal animal trap; 1
rusted commercial coffee grinder; 1
leather belt, in pieces; 1 leather bag, in
fragments, with possible human ribs
embedded; 4 woodpecker beaks; 2 bird
bones; 1 belt buckle; 1 leather sheath;
fragments of 1 leather strap; and
fragments of 1 piece of cloth.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that the individuals are Native
American. Copper stains near the
mastoid processes of one individual
suggest that the individual wore copper
ear ornaments, which supports Native
American identification for the human
remains. The associated funerary objects
are consistent with possible belongings
of Indian people of Colorado during the
mid–1800s. The items include
traditional items of Native gathering,
construction, and use, as well as EuroAmerican trade items. Catlinite pipes
were widely traded from the Minnesota
mine source to tribes throughout the
Great Plains. The Euro-American
artifacts date from the mid–19th
century. On the basis of the funerary
objects associated with the human
remains, the estimated date of the
burials is between A.D. 1840 and 1870.
A 2001 map published by the
Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs,
The Estimated Tribal Territories in
Colorado during the Late Nineteenth
Century, shows that the two locations
from which the human remains were
removed were within the historic
territories of the Arapaho, Cheyenne,
Jicarilla Apache, Kiowa, Lakota (Sioux),
and Pawnee peoples. Consultation with
the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado and
Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah established that the Ute tribes also
used the area from which the human
remains were removed. Historic records
and statements from members of the
consulted tribes further corroborate the
presence of Arapaho, Cheyenne, Jicarilla
Apache, Kiowa, Lakota (Sioux), Pawnee
peoples, in or near the area during the
Protohistoric and Historic periods.
Documentary evidence suggests Iowa,
Ottawa, and Paiute peoples in or near
the area during the Protohistoric and
Historic periods. Descendants of the
Arapaho, Cheyenne, Jicarilla Apache,
Iowa, Lakota, Ottawa, Paiute, Pawnee,
and Ute are members of the Arapahoe
Tribe of the Wind River Reservation,

Hawaii at Hilo professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Big Island Burial Council, Department
of Hawaiian Homelands, Hui Malama I
Na Kupuna O Hawaii Nei, and the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

(site 50–10–37–7702) and a small
adjacent lava tube (site 50–10–37–5611)
in Kahalu’u, North Kona, HI, by the
University of Hawaii at Hilo and Paul H.
Rosendahl, Inc., during excavations for
the West Hawaii Housing Foundation,
as mitigation prior to a federal housing
development. Human remains
discovered at the time were determined
to be prehistoric and reburied. Midden
deposits from both sites are in the
possession of the University of Hawaii
at Hilo. During the NAGPRA inventory
process, additional human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals from 50–10–37–7702 and
one individual from 50–10–37–5611
