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 Alaska
State Office, Bureau of Land
Management, Anchorage, AK, and in the
possession of the Arizona State
Museum, University of Arizona,
Tucson, AZ, and Museum of the
Aleutians, Unalaska, AK. The human
remains were removed from St.
Lawrence Island, AK.
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 Alaska State
Office, Bureau of Land Management;
Arizona State Museum; Museum of the
Aleutians; and Smithsonian Institution
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Native Village of
Savoonga.
In 1928, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from an unknown location on
St. Lawrence Island, AK, by the nowdeceased Otto Geist. The human
remains were reportedly collected from
the surface and the condition of the
bone indicates exposure to the elements.
The human remains were donated to the
University of Alaska Museum at an
unknown date. In 1941, the human
remains were sent to the Arizona State
Museum as part of an exchange. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date in the 1950s or
1960s, human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from an unknown location on
St. Lawrence Island, AK, by an
unknown person. The human remains
were probably collected from the
surface because the condition of the
bone indicates exposure to the elements.
The human remains came into the
possession of the now–deceased Dr.
William Laughlin of the University of
Wisconsin at an unknown date and
under unknown circumstances. In 1999,
the human remains were sent to the
Museum of the Aleutians. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Cranial characteristics of all three sets
of human remains are highly consistent
with Native American ancestry. The
Native Village of Savoonga is located on
St. Lawrence Island. Ethnohistorical
data indicate a continuity of cultural
occupation of St. Lawrence Island from
approximately A.D. 300 to the present.
Oral tradition presented by
representatives of the Native Village of
Savoonga supports this evidence of
occupation. Based on the provenience
and condition of the human remains,
the human remains are determined to be
Native American and ancestors of the
members of the Native Village of
Savoonga.
Officials of the Alaska State Office,
Bureau of Land Management; Arizona
State Museum; and Museum of the
Aleutians have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
PO 00000

human remains described above
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Alaska State
Office, Bureau of Land Management;
Arizona State Museum; and Museum of
the Aleutians 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 Native Village of Savoonga.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Robert E. King,
Alaska State NAGPRA Coordinator,
Bureau of Land Management, 222 W.
7th Avenue, Box 13, Anchorage, AK
99513–7599, telephone (907) 271–5510,
before June 23, 2008. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Native Village of
Savoonga may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
The Alaska State Office, Bureau of
Land Management is responsible for
notifying the Native Village of Savoonga
that this notice has been published.

Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation
of New York; Seneca Nation of New
York; Seneca–Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe,
New York (formerly the St. Regis Band
of Mohawk Indians of New York);
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New
York.
At an unknown date prior to 1891,
human remains representing a
minimum of seven individuals were
removed from unidentified locations in
New York State. Three individuals
represented by Field Museum of Natural
History catalog numbers 41800 and
41803 were removed by F.M. Noe from
‘‘New York’’ and ‘‘northern New York.’’
Mr. Noe was a collector and dealer of
natural history specimens and Native
American ‘‘relics.’’ His correspondence
specifically identifies the human
remains as Iroquois. Mr. Noe sold the
human remains to Franz Boas. The other
four individuals represented by Field
Museum of Natural History catalog
numbers 41804 and 41805 were
removed from ‘‘northern New York’’
probably by Mr. Boas. Mr. Boas then
sold all seven sets of human remains to
the Field Museum of Natural History in
1894. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object consists of one small fragment of
yellow ochre.
All of the human remains were
removed from sites in New York State.
Based on the conditions of the skeletal
elements and Mr. Noe’s correspondence,
the human remains date to the historic
period. The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
craniometric analysis, and the specific
cultural and geographic attribution in
Field Museum of Natural History
records. All seven individuals were
identified as ‘‘Iroquois’’ in Mr. Noe’s
and Mr. Boas’s notes. Descendants of
the Iroquois are the Cayuga Nation of
New York; Oneida Nation of New York;
Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin;
Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca
Nation of New York; Seneca–Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe, New York; Tonawanda Band of

Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the

the one object described above is
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. Officials of

At an unknown date prior to 1891, human remains representing a
minimum of seven individuals were removed from unidentified locations
in New York State. Three individuals represented by Field Museum of
