SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 376acre Fort Dupont Park is one of the Civil War Defenses of Washington and is one of the Fort Circle Parks managed by the NPS. In 2004, the NPS completed the Final Management Plan for Fort Circle Parks and an action to transfer these lands to the District will likely result in amendment of that plan. The transfer is to facilitate the development of new recreational facilities and programs on the subject property by the District, including a proposal to create a baseball academy and another to expand an existing indoor ice skating arena. The District’s proposal would involve the help of private-sector partners. The current Proposed Action is to transfer approximately 14 acres of NPS property situated on the north side of Fort Dupont Park along Ely Place in Southeast Washington, DC, to the District. This land is not in an area associated with the Civil War Defense of Washington, and does not contain earthworks or other historic or archeological resources. Once transferred, this property will no longer be part of the Park and no longer be managed or administered by the NPS. This transfer is part of an effort by the District to expand public facilities and recreational opportunities for area youth the NPS supports. The new recreational facilities and programs would be developed and operated by the District and its partners. Information and comments gathered during scoping and public meetings will be used to identify the range of issues and potential impacts of this proposed action. It may also be used for other planning and decision-making. VerDate Aug<31>2005 12:39 Jun 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 Dated: April 23, 2008. Joseph M. Lawler, Regional Director, National Capital Region.

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 Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA. The human remains were removed from Yachats, Lincoln County, OR. 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 Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound professional staff and a consultant in consultation with representatives of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; and Coquille Tribe of Oregon. At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the vicinity of Yachats, Lincoln County, OR, by Dr. L. E. Hibbard. Dr. Hibbard gave the human remains to Stanley G. Jewett. Mr. Jewett donated the human remains to the Slater Museum in 1955. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual is most likely of Native American ancestry as indicated by morphological features. Writing on the skull indicates that the human remains were removed from the vicinity of ‘‘Yahats,’’ which is reasonably believed to be a misspelling of Yachats. The geographical location where the human remains were recovered is consistent with the historically PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35709 documented territory of the tribes now represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. Members of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon and Coquille Tribe of Oregon were moved to the Yachats area where they lived from 1859–1875. Absent additional information about the burial period, officials of the Slater Museum of Natural History reasonably believe that the human remains are most likely affiliated with the Alsea Tribe who had villages in the vicinity of Yachats, which had inhabited the area prior to the arrival of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon and Coquille Tribe of Oregon, and continued to inhabit the area afterwards. The Alsea Tribe from the Yachats area are now members of the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. Furthermore, based on information provided during consultation with tribal representatives, there is a reasonable belief that the human remains share a common ancestry with members of tribes now represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. Officials of the Slater Museum of Natural History 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 Slater Museum of Natural History 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 Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Peter Wimberger, Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, WA 98416, telephone (253) 879–2784, before July 24, 2008. Repatriation of the human remains to the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Slater Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; and Coquille Tribe of Oregon that this notice has been published.

In the late 1970s or early 1980s, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown shoreline location near the old Kona Airport in the North Kona District, Hawai‘i Island, HI. An unknown student delivered the human remains to faculty in the anthropology department at that time. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The human remains are heavily weathered and come from an area where shoreline erosion of Native Hawaiian human remains is well documented. Property ownership in the area includes both State land and private land and it is unclear where the human remains originated. Based on the lack of definitive information of removal and location, the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo has proceeded as the responsible entity.

Notice of Inventory Completion: Slater Museum of Natural History, 
University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, 
WA. The human remains were removed from Yachats, Lincoln County, OR.
    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 Slater 
Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound professional staff 
and a consultant in consultation with representatives of the 
Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of 
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; and 
Coquille Tribe of Oregon.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one 
individual were removed from the vicinity of Yachats, Lincoln County, 
OR, by Dr. L. E. Hibbard. Dr. Hibbard gave the human remains to Stanley 
G. Jewett. Mr. Jewett donated the human remains to the Slater Museum in 
1955. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    The individual is most likely of Native American ancestry as 
indicated by morphological features. Writing on the skull indicates 
that the human remains were removed from the vicinity of ``Yahats,'' 
which is reasonably believed to be a misspelling of Yachats. The 
geographical location where the human remains were recovered is 
consistent with the historically documented territory of the tribes now 
represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, 
Oregon. Members of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and 
Siuslaw Indians of Oregon and Coquille Tribe of Oregon were moved to 
the Yachats area where they lived from 1859-1875. Absent additional 
information about the burial period, officials of the Slater Museum of 
Natural History reasonably believe that the human remains are most 
likely affiliated with the Alsea Tribe who had villages in the vicinity 
of Yachats, which had inhabited the area prior to the arrival of the 
Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon 
and Coquille Tribe of Oregon, and continued to inhabit the area 
afterwards. The Alsea Tribe from the Yachats area are now members of 
the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. Furthermore, 
based on information provided during consultation with tribal 
representatives, there is a reasonable belief that the human remains 
share a common ancestry with members of tribes now represented by the 
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon.
    Officials of the Slater Museum of Natural History 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 Slater Museum of Natural History 
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 Confederated Tribes 
of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon.
    Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Peter 
Wimberger, Slater Museum of Natural History, University of Puget Sound, 
1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, WA 98416, telephone (253) 879-2784, before July 
24, 2008. Repatriation of the human remains to the Confederated Tribes 
of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon may proceed after that date if no 
additional claimants come forward.
    The Slater Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying 
the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of 
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; and 
Coquille Tribe of Oregon that this notice has been published.
