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
Hastings Museum of Natural and
Cultural History (Hastings Museum),
Hastings, NE. The human remains were
VerDate Aug<31>2005

removed from Calico Rock, Izard
County, AR.
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
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Osage Nation,
Oklahoma (formerly the Osage Tribe).
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Calico
Rock in Izard County, AR. No additional
site information is available. The human
remains were purchased by the Hastings
Museum from H.L. Talbert and
accessioned into the collection in 1941
(20276, 20277). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Information provided from the
Arkansas Archeological Survey
indicates that there are two known sites
in Izard County by the name of Calico
Rock. One site is an archaic site while
the other is undetermined. Neither site
yielded human remains, but the sites
were identified after the human remains
were donated to the Hastings Museum.
However, the history of the town named
Calico Rock, also located in Izard
County, stated that a flood in 1927
unearthed an American Indian burial
ground near the town site. It is likely
that the human remains in the Hastings
Museum collection are not from the
known sites, but rather from the area of
the town of Calico Rock. The human
remains have been determined to be
those of Native American descent. In
addition, a morphological report
provided on the human remains
determined that the dental attrition was
not consistent with an individual from
the archaic time period making the
likelihood of them coming from the area
of the town more likely.
The Osage were seminomadic people
who lived and hunted in Southwestern
Missouri, northwestern Arkansas,
southeast Kansas, and northeast
Oklahoma. Izard County is located in
Osage treaty land, which was
determined in 1825.
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 two individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Hastings Museum 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 Osage Nation, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Teresa Kreutzer-Hodson,
Hastings Museum of Natural and
Cultural History, PO Box 1286,
Hastings, NE 68902, telephone (402)
461–2399, before September 12, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Osage Nation, Oklahoma may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Hastings Museum is responsible
for notifying the Osage Nation,
Oklahoma that this notice has been
published.
