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 two
individuals were removed from Indian
Mounds in Jamestown, Stutsman
County, ND. The human remains,
consisting of two skulls, were donated
to the Department of Anthropology by
Dr. T. Tillman of the Oregon State
University Physical Education
Department upon his retirement. Dr.
Tillman received the human remains
from the widow of an unknown
collector between 1940 and 1978. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The collection records state that both
individuals are ‘‘Indian,’’ and the
Department of Anthropology’s physical
anthropology faculty confirms that the
skulls have cranial morphology
consistent with Native American
ancestry. According to collection
records and tribal consultation, the
human remains were removed from the
traditional territory of the Assiniboine
and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River
Reservation, South Dakota; Crow Creek
Sioux Tribe of the Crow Creek
Reservation, South Dakota; Lower Brule
Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule
Reservation, South Dakota; Lower Sioux
Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the
Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota;
Prairie Island Indian Community in the
State of Minnesota; Rosebud Sioux
Tribe of the Rosebud Indian
Reservation, South Dakota; Santee Sioux
Nation, Nebraska; and Standing Rock
Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota.
Consultation with the Assiniboine and
Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation, Montana supports the
origins of the individuals from the
Stutsman County area.
Officials of the Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of two individuals 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

ACTION:
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 U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Land Management, Colorado State
Office, Denver, CO. and in the
possession of the Museum of Western
Colorado, Grand Junction, CO. The
human remains were removed from
Garfield 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 the Bureau of
Land Management, Smithsonian
Institution, and Museum of Western
Colorado professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah.
In 1976, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site 5GF344 in Garfield
County, CO, by Mary Zang and Ed
Carter. The human remains were
collected from the surface of the site in
an arroyo. The human remains were
turned over to the Garfield County
sheriff, who then contacted the Bureau
of Land Management, as the human
remains had been removed from Federal
land. The human remains were then
transferred to the Museum of Western
Colorado for curation. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1976, it was reported that a scaffold
or platform was located in a tree in close

proximity to the human remains. This
scaffold or platform was never located.
The field check of the site location
provided no further details concerning
the origin of the human remains. All
parties concluded that the human
remains had been carried down the
drainage. In 1999, the human remains
were studied by researchers at the
Smithsonian Institution to determine if
they were Native American. This
analysis concluded that the human
remains were Native American, based
on cranial features and were consistent
with other Ute crania identified from
Utah and Colorado. In addition, near the
location where the human remains were
found is a concentration of Ute sites
within approximately a five mile radius
consisting of a Ute wickiup village and
petroglyphs. This area is historically
associated with the Uintah-Ouray Ute
Tribe. Descendants of the Uintah-Ouray
Ute are members of the Ute Indian Tribe
of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation,
Utah.
Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management 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 Bureau of Land
Management 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 Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Susan Thomas, NAGPRA
Coordinator, Bureau of Land
Management, Colorado, 27501 Highway
184, Dolores, CO 81323, telephone (970)
882–5600, before May 19, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah &
Ouray Reservation, Utah may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Bureau of Land Management is
responsible for notifying the Southern
Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe
of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation,
Utah; Ute Mountain of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New
Mexico & Utah that this notice has been
published.

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Cibola National
Forest professional staff in consultation
with the Pueblo of Ysleta del Sur of
Texas.
In 1987, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from AR 03–03–03–334 in
Socorro County, NM, by Forest Service
personnel following the report of the
presence of a human skull on the
surface of the site from the Socorro
County Sheriff’s Department. The
human remains have been curated in a
secure storage facility at the Forest
Supervisor’s Office of the Cibola
National Forest and were discovered
during a recent review by Forest Service
personnel of the contents of boxes in
that facility. No known individual was
identified. The 15 associated funerary
objects are pottery sherds, charcoal and
chipped stone.
Archeological evidence of both
material culture and settlement patterns
indicate that site AR 03–03–03–334 is a
small pre-historic Puebloan habitation
site that was occupied intermittently
between A.D. 900 to A.D. 1250/1300
(Pueblo II/Pueblo III). The site is
ancestral to the nearby large, late
prehistoric Puebloan site at Gallinas
Springs (occupied from the 14th to 16th
century). The Gallinas Springs site was
