jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
indicates a relatively stable population
residing on the Seward Peninsula
continuously for over 1,000 years. The
1893 U.S. Census listed a collective
village on Point Spencer with a
population of 485, of which 236 were
Alaska Natives and 249 were foreign.
The Alaska Native descendants of Point
Spencer are members at the Native
Village of Brevig Mission, Native Village
of Teller, and Native Village of Wales.
Officials of the Rochester Museum &
Science Center 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 Rochester Museum &
Science Center also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Bering Straits Native
Corporation, Native Brevig Mission
Native Corporation, Village of Brevig
Mission, Native Village of Teller, Teller
Native Corporation, Native Village of
Wales, and Wales Native Corporation.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Gian Carlo Cervone,
Rochester Museum & Science Center,
657 East Avenue, Rocherster, NY
14607–2177, telephone (585) 271–4552,
ext. 310, before July 17, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Bering Straits Foundation on behalf
of the Bering Straits Native Corporation,
Native Brevig Mission Native
Corporation, Village of Brevig Mission,
Native Village of Teller, Teller Native
Corporation, Native Village of Wales,
and Wales Native Corporation may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Rochester Museum & Science
Center is responsible for notifying the
Bering Straits Foundation, Bering Straits
Native Corporation, Native Brevig
Mission Native Corporation, Village of
Brevig Mission, Native Village of Teller,

Notice.
AGENCY:
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 possession of the
Rochester Museum & Science Center,
Rochester, NY. The human remains
were removed from Walworth County,
SD.
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 Rochester
Museum & Science Center professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
In the 1920s, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Mobridge site (39WW1), Walworth
County, SD, by W.H. Over. Mr. Over
sold the human remains to the museum
in 1927. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Osteological examination of the
human remains indicates that they are
of likely Native American ancestry. In
Mobridge Site Cemeteries: Controversy
Concerning the Location of the Over and
Stirling Burials, Douglas W. Owsley
identified a number of human remains
from the Mobridge site as Arikara based
on morphological traits (1981).
Diagnostic architecture and artifacts
found at the Mobridge site, including
circular, semi–subterranean structures
and Native–made glass pendants,
indicate that the human remains were
probably buried by the Arikara during
the post–contact Coalescent Traditional
period (A.D. 1675–1780). In 1870, the
Arikara, Hidatsa, and Mandan tribes
were moved to the Fort Berthold Indian
Reservation in North Dakota.
Descendants of the Arikara, Hidatsa,
and Mandan are members of the Three

Officials of the Rochester Museum &
Science Center 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 Rochester Museum &
Science Center 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 Three Affiliated Tribes
of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
