Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 163 / Thursday, August 21, 2008 / Notices
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington.
This notice is an addition to the
minimum number of individuals
removed from the Minard site (45–GH–
15) in Grays Harbor County, WA, which
were previously described in a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register of May 17, 2007 (FR
Doc. E7–9455, pages 27845–27846). In
January of 2008, Dr. Lourdes DeLeon, a
physical anthropologist at Central
Washington University, prepared a
description of a number of sets of
human remains known as the ‘‘Former
Teaching Collection at Washington State
University.’’ During the course of this
work she identified the remains of two
individuals who, based on the color of
the bone, were believed to have been
buried in a shell midden. Examination
of photographs taken during the burial
excavations done at the Minard site
indicated that these were human
remains formerly determined to be
missing from the Minard collection.
In the Federal Register notice of May
17, 2007, paragraph 4 is corrected by
substituting the following paragraphs:
In 1969 and 1970, human remains
representing a minimum of 11
individuals were removed from the
Minard site (45–GH–15) in Grays Harbor
County, WA, by Richard Daugherty, an
employee, and Tom E. Roll, a graduate
student, of Washington State University.
The excavations were conducted under
research funds allocated by the
Washington State Legislature. No
known individuals were identified. The
82 associated funerary objects are 2
nipple topped mauls, 1 ground slate
knife, 1 ground stone club, 1 necklace
of rolled copped and dentalium section
beads, 1 straight adze with a whale bone
handle and metal blade, 1 knife or small
adze-chisel with a bone handle and
metal blade, 1 metal chisel, 1 metal awl,
1 lot of metal fragments from wood
working tools, 5 lots of nails, 2 lots of
glass beads, 2 lots of tin can fragments,
5 lots of unidentified metal fragments, 2
spoons, 3 lots of wood fragments, 14

thimbles on a string, 1 lot of
unidentified plant material, and 38 lots
of dishes and dish fragments.
In the Federal Register notice of May
17, 2007, paragraph 6 is corrected by
substituting the following paragraph:
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 11
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 82
objects described above are 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. Lastly, officials of the
Museum of Anthropology, Washington
State University 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 associated funerary objects and the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary items should
contact Mary Collins, Director of the
Museum of Anthropology, Washington
State University, P.O. Box 62291,
Pullman, WA 99164–4910, telephone
(509) 335–4314, before September 22,
2008. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Confederated Tribes of the
Chehalis Reservation, Washington may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Museum of Anthropology,
Washington State University is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington that this notice
has been published.

Notice; correction.
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 control of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, San Juan
National Forest, Durango, CO, and in
the possession of the University of
Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology, Denver,
CO. The human remains were removed
from Dolores County, CO.
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.
This notice corrects the Notice of
Inventory Completion published by the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology and Museum of
Anthropology in the Federal Register of
October 9, 2001, (FR Doc. 01–25140;
pages 51472–51474). This notice
corrects the controller of the human
remains, per 43 CFR 10.2 (a)(3)(ii), and
the cultural affiliation of the human
remains, per 43 CFR 10.14 (c), of one
individual (catalog numbers DU6015
and DU 6066). After publication, a
review of the records associated with
the human remains indicated that the
human remains had been removed from
lands administered by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, San Juan
National Forest, Durango, CO.
Therefore, the San Juan National Forest
has the control of the human remains
for the purposes of NAGPRA. An overall
evaluation of the totality of the
circumstances and evidence pertaining
to the human remains by the officials of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, San
Juan National Forest indicate that no
cultural affiliation can be determined by
the preponderance of the evidence.
Therefore, the human remains have
been determined to be culturally
unidentifiable.

A companion notice published in the
Federal Register by the University of
Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology also
corrects the October 9, 2001 notice by
deleting the references in paragraph 11,
page 51473, to the one individual
(catalog numbers DU6015 and DU 6066)
that were collected at Dove Creek,
Dolores County, CO, from lands
administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, San Juan National Forest.
In 1943, the human remains were found
in the office of Lee A. Brown, an
employee of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, who had
been transferred from the Dolores
Ranger District to Washington, D.C, by
Fred R. Johnsono. At the time, Dr. E.B.
Renaud of the University of Denver,
Department of Anthropology was asked
to examine the human remains, which
were physically transferred to the
University of Denver by Mr. Johnson.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
While the examination of the human
remains (DU 6015 and DU 6066) by Dr.
E.B. Renaud established that the human
remains were of Native American
ancestry, Dr. Renaud’s examination did
not provide any information regarding
the cultural ancestry. The officials of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service have determined that the human
remains are culturally unidentifiable
human remains based on the lack of
evidence regarding the specific
provenience from which the human
remains were removed, the absence of
associated funerary objects, the lack of
evidence that provides a date for the
original burial of the human remains,
and the lack of evidence regarding the
cultural ancestry of the human remains.
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service 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 U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian Tribe.
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Julie Coleman, Heritage
Program Manager, San Juan National
Forest, San Juan Public Lands Center, 15
Burnett Court, Durango, CO 81301,

September 22, 2008.
