and winter habitat (Miller et al. 2005).
Continued expansion of juniper will
lead to further losses of suitable sagegrouse habitat. While the problem of
juniper encroachment is prevalent
across the Resource Area, the Glass
Butte/Rye Grass area was selected to
expand upon a small-scale project
completed there in 2006.
Initial scoping (March 1 to April 1,
2007) for the GSHIP expressed interest
from the public in harvesting downed
juniper for fuel wood, posts and poles.
Additional preliminary issues and
management concerns identified by
BLM personnel and the public include
management of Air Quality, Water
Quality, Migratory Birds, Special Status
Species fauna and flora, Noxious
Weeds, Cultural Heritage and Hazardous
Materials.
An interdisciplinary approach will be
used to develop the EA in order to
consider the variety of resource issues
and concerns identified. Disciplines
involved in the project will include (but
not be limited to) those with expertise
in management of the aforementioned
resources.
1920 (30 U.S.C. 188). We are proposing
to reinstate the lease, effective the date
of termination subject to:
• The original terms and conditions
of the lease;
• The increased rental of $10 per
acre;
• The increased royalty of 162⁄3
percent or 4 percentages above the
existing competitive royalty rate; and
• The $163 cost of publishing this
Notice.

Notice.
AGENCY:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of The Cleveland Museum of
Natural History, Cleveland, OH, that
meet the definition of ‘‘unassociated
funerary object’’ and ‘‘sacred object’’
under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
In 1956, cultural items were acquired
by The Cleveland Museum of Natural
History from the Logan Museum, Beloit
College, Beloit, WI. The two cultural
items are one ceremonial wood bowl
(CMNH 12888/CMNH 19888) and one
silver brooch (CMNH 08169).
Representatives of the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan
attributed the cultural items as Ottawa/
Odawa.
The bowl is well-made with a carved
rim and knobs. The locality and date for
PO 00000

the bowl are recorded as ‘‘Michigan,
Emmet County, early 1900’s.’’ In Odawa
spiritual practices, ceremonial bowls
have a wide range of use and are
utilized in many different ceremonial
activities. It is believed that manidok
(spirits) reside in each individual bowl
and are a part of the community. It is
the Tribe’s continued responsibility to
take care of these bowls and use them
in ceremonies for sacred reasons, as
such Traditional Religious leaders of the
Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa
Indians, Michigan need to use these
bowls in ceremonies for the Tribe.
The one silver brooch (CMNH 08169)
is made from German silver in the shape
of a disk with punched designs of
circles, stars, and ellipses. The locality
and date for the brooch are listed as
‘‘Michigan, Emmet County, late 1800’s.’’
Multiple archeological sites that are
Native American burial sites or
cemeteries in Michigan from the
Historic Period contain an array of
European trade goods, such as knives,
glass beads and silver brooches (Halsey,
286). It is believed that the silver brooch
in the possession of museum came from
an Odawa grave based on similar objects
found in other Odawa graves from
Michigan. In addition, it is believed that
the brooch is a grave item because it has
been recorded as a Native American
item and not just simply a piece of
silver since the designation of such
simple items to be of Native origin
usually originates because it came from
a Native American burial.
Officials of The Cleveland Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the
one cultural item 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 and is
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of The Cleveland
Museum of Natural History also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(C), the one cultural item
described above is a specific ceremonial
object needed by traditional Native
American religious leaders for the
practice of traditional Native American
religions by their present–day
adherents. Lastly, officials of The
Cleveland Museum of Natural History
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
unassociated funerary object and the
sacred object and the Little Traverse Bay
Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
