from the widow of an unknown

American ancestry. Officials of the
Oregon State University Department of
Anthropology have also 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
and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington.

tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. David McMurray,

determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Assiniboine and
Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, Montana.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in either North
Dakota, South Dakota, or Montana, by
George Karl Neumann, a physical
anthropologist working out of Indiana
State University, Terre Haute, IN. In
1976, the Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology acquired
the Neumann Collection from Indiana
State University. This individual is
referenced in the accession records as
N095 and identified in the collection
records as a ‘‘Lakotid Mandan skull.’’
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Officials of the Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology,
in consultation with representatives of
the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana,
and based on collection and database
records, reasonably believe that the
human remains are affiliated with
present-day tribes belonging to the
Lakota Mandan culture group. Tribes
belonging to the Lakota Mandan culture
group are the Assiniboine and Sioux
Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River
Reservation, South Dakota; Oglala Sioux
Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation,
South Dakota; and Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,

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
Oregon State University Department of
Anthropology 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 Assiniboine and Sioux
Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River
Reservation, South Dakota; Oglala Sioux
Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation,
South Dakota; and Three Affiliated
