(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of Hastings
Museum of Natural and Cultural
History, Hastings, NE. The human
remains were removed from Douglas
County, NE.
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 Hastings Museum
of Natural and Cultural History
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska; Otoe–Missouria Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma; Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Nebraska;
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; and
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita,
Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from
unknown sites in the area of Omaha,
Douglas County, NE. The human
remains were donated to the Hastings
Museum by A.M. Brooking and
cataloged between 1926 and 1931
(03194, 03195, 03196). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in the area of Omaha,
Douglas County, NE. The human
remains were donated to the Hastings
Museum by J.E. Wallace and cataloged
between 1926 and 1931 (01611). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The above human remains have been
identified in morphology reports as
being of Native American descent. The
region near Omaha has been occupied
by numerous cultures that have been
identified in the archeological records.
These cultures include Plains
Woodland, Central Plains Tradition,
Oneota, and historic tribes of the Oto–
Missouria and Omaha. Pawnee oral
tradition states that the Central Plains
Tradition people are ancestors to the
Arikara and Pawnee, and possibly the
Wichita. According to Pawnee oral
history, the Plains Woodlands people
are ancestors to the Pawnee, Mandan,
Arikara, Hidatsa, and Crow. Oral history

information has some of the people of
Mill Creek staying behind and becoming
part of the Central Plains Tradition
based on common oral traditions
through origin and corn stories.
Museum officials have determined
based on museum records, geographic
location, Pawnee oral tradition, and
anthropological research that the
Central Plains Tradition people are
ancestors to the Arikara and Pawnee,
and possibly the Wichita. In addition,
museum officials have determined
based on museum records, geographic
location, and oral tradition that the
Plains Woodland people are ancestors of
the Arikara, Crow, Hidatsa, Mandan,
and Pawnee.
Based on museum records,
geographical location, and morphology
reports, museum officials have
determined that the human remains are
possibly Plains Woodland, Central
Plains Tradition, Oneota, Omaha, or
Oto–Missiouria. Descendants of the
Plains Woodland, Central Plains
Tradition, Oneota, Omaha, or Oto–
Missiouria are members of the Crow
Tribe of Montana; Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska; Otoe–Missouria Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma; Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of Nebraska;
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; and
Wichita and Affiliated Tribes,
Oklahoma.
The Arikara, Pawnee, and Wichita
have entered into an agreement that
human remains and funerary objects
located between the Missouri River and
the Smokey Hill River shall be claimed
by the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. The
Hidatsa have agreed that the Pawnee
shall make the claim for the human
remains and cultural items affiliated
with the Plains Woodland from
Nebraska. The Omaha Tribe of
Nebraska; Otoe–Missouria Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma; and Ponca Tribe
of Nebraska also have agreed to allow
the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma to
claim the human remains.
Officials of the Hastings Museum
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of four individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Hastings Museum also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2),
there is a relationship of shared group

human remains will be repatriated.
In the Federal Register of October 10,
2002 (FR Doc 02–25871, pages 63151–

corrected by substituting the following

Officials of the Bishop Museum 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
Hawaiian ancestry. Officials of the

there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native Hawaiian human
remains and Hui Kako‘o and Hui

Lastly, officials of the Bishop Museum
have determined that Hui Kako‘o is the
most appropriate claimant for
repatriation of the human remains.
Representatives of any other Native

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 Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Wampanoag
Repatriation Confederation, on behalf of
the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe;
Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah) of Massachusetts; and
Assonet Band of the Wampanoag
Nation, a non–federally recognized
Indian group.
In 1951, a human remain representing
a minimum of one individual was
removed from the Rich Site (19–BN–
163) in Barnstable County, MA, by
Harold Curtis. The human remains were
transferred at an unknown date to Ross
Moffett and later donated to the Robert
S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology in
1969. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The isolated tooth documented in this
inventory appears to come from the
‘‘black earth and shell’’ strata, an upper
level of the site that is presumably a
Middle Woodland/Late Woodland
occupation. The Rich site (19–BN–163)
is one of several sites on the Outer Cape
that reflects a pattern of year–round
occupation and increasing sedentism in
the late Middle Woodland to the Late
Woodland (Massachusetts Historical
Commission 1987 Historic and
Archaeological Resources of Cape Cod
and the Islands). In addition to the area
around Truro, where the Rich site is
located, other comparable cores on the
Outer Cape include Wellfleet Harbor
and the Nauset area in Eastham. In each
site, there is a concentration of
settlement not previously seen in the
archeological record and strong
evidence for year–round occupation.
This includes floral and faunal data, as
well as an array of site locations (and
orientations) in each core area that fits
the known range of seasonally exploited
resources (Francis P. McManamon, ed.
Chapters in the Archaeology of Cape
Cod, Volumes I and II, 1984).
Concomitant with this evidence for
year–round occupation are mortuary
data that indicate a significantly
different pattern than evident on earlier
sites. This includes the use of defined
cemeteries, as well as ossuaries, which
elsewhere in the Northeast are strongly
