DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: U.S. Department of the Interior,
National Park Service, Intermountain
Region, Santa Fe, NM; Correction
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice; correction.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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 NAGPRA coordinator,
Intermountain Region.
This notice corrects the number of
sacred objects affiliated with the Pueblo
of Santa Ana, New Mexico in a Notice
of Intent to Repatriate published on July
23, 2008, in the Federal Register (FR
Doc. E8-16732, page 42827) from three
to one. Based on additional information
received when the items were to be
repatriated, the NAGPRA coordinator,
Intermountain Region, determined that
two of the sacred objects are not
culturally affiliated with the Pueblo of
Santa Ana, New Mexico. The cultural
affiliation of those two objects is
undetermined at this time. Repatriation
of the sacred object described as a
bundle with eagle feathers in the July
23, 2008, Notice of Intent to Repatriate
is not affected by this correction.
In the Federal Register of July 23,
2008, (FR Doc. E8-16732, page 42827),
paragraph numbers 3–5 are corrected by
substituting the following three
paragraphs:
In 1994, the National Park Service
assisted the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service with the
investigation of a Migratory Bird Treaty
Act violation. The evidence included a
collection of Native American objects
confiscated from the East-West Trading
Post in Santa Fe, NM. Preliminary
subject matter expert review of the
collection indicated that the objects
were historically significant and
potentially subject to NAGPRA. The
collection was accessioned in 2002 into
the Southwest Regional Office
collections, now called the
Intermountain Region Office. The
cultural item covered in this notice is
one bundle with eagle feathers.
Following adjudication of the case, a
detailed assessment of the object was
made by Intermountain Region (IMR)
NAGPRA program staff in close
collaboration with the IMR Museum
Services program staff and in

consultation with representatives of
potentially affiliated tribes. During
consultation, representatives of the
Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico,
identified the cultural item as a specific
ceremonial object needed by traditional
Pueblo of Santa Ana religious leaders
for the practice of a traditional Native
American religion by their present-day
adherents. Oral tradition evidence
presented by representatives of the
Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico, and
the written repatriation request received
by the Intermountain Region further
articulated the ceremonial significance
of the cultural item to the Pueblo of
Santa Ana, New Mexico. Based on
anthropological information, court case
documentation, oral tradition, museum
records, consultation evidence, and
expert opinion, there is a cultural
affiliation between the Pueblo of Santa
Ana, New Mexico, and the sacred
object.
Officials of the Intermountain Region
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the 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.
Officials of the Intermountain Region
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 sacred
object and the Pueblo of Santa Ana,
New Mexico. Repatriation of the sacred
object to the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New
Mexico, occurred after the 30 day
comment period expired for the original
July 23, 2008, Notice of Intent to
Repatriate.
The Intermountain Region is

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 and associated funerary objects
in the control of the U.S. Department of
the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Washington, DC, and in the possession
of the New York State Museum, Albany,
NY. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Dukes County, MA.
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 New York State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Acquinnah) of Massachusetts.
In 1966, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
recovered from the Howland 2 Site,
Dukes County, Martha’s Vineyard
Island, MA, during an archeological
survey conducted by Frank Schambach,

New York State Museum staff. No
known individuals were identified. The
nine associated funerary objects are
eight wrought iron nails with wood
adhering and a fragment of deer bone
scapula.
The Howland 2 Site is located on
Shotnine Hill overlooking Squibnocket
Pond within the historic boundaries of
the community of Gay Head. The
human remains were found in two
separate locations on the same site.
Wrought iron nails associated with one
of the individuals dates the burial to
post-European contact, dated to circa
18th–19th centuries. Although the only
funerary object found with the second
individual consisted of a fragment of
animal bone, the depth of the burial,
which was over 4 1/2 feet deep, and its
proximity to the other individual of
historic age, indicates that these human
remains may also date to a post-contact
time period.
Historic records indicate that the
Wampanoag have maintained a
continuous presence on Martha’s
Vineyard, despite colonization of the
island by Euroamericans in A.D. 1641.
In 1711, Gay Head was established as a
reservation for the Wampanoag Gay
Head Indians by the Society for the
Propogation of the Gospel in New
England. In 1714, the community was
closed off to the public by a ditch and
gate enclosure, along what is now the
boundary with Chilmark. The Howland
2 Site is located within this boundary.
Its location within the historic boundary
of Gay Head suggests that the site was
used for burial by residents of the
Wampanoag community, rather than by
Euroamericans.
Historic information indicates that the
area of the Howland 2 Site has been part
of Wampanoag-use lands since 1711.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the burials most likely date to a time
subsequent to the establishment of the
Gay Head community for the
Wampanoag Indians by the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in New
England. Based on this historical and
archeological evidence, officials of the
New York State Museum have
determined that the human remains and
funerary objects are culturally affiliated
with the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah) of Massachusetts. Officials
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs concur
with the determinations in this notice.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and New York State 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
PO 00000
Frm 00067

Sfmt 4703

Bureau of Indian Affairs and New York
State Museum have also determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the nine 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 Bureau of Indian Affairs
and New York State 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 associated funerary
objects and the Wampanpoag Tribe of
Gay Head (Aquinnah) of Massachusetts.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Lisa M. Anderson, NAGPRA
Coordinator, New York State Museum,
3049 CEC, Albany, NY 12230, telephone
(518) 486–2020, before November 28,
2008. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Wampanpoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah) of Massachusetts may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The New York State Museum is
responsible for notifying the
Wampanpoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah) of Massachusetts that this
notice has been published.

ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
NAGPRA coordinator, Intermountain Region.
This notice corrects the number of sacred objects affiliated with
the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico in a Notice of Intent to Repatriate
published on July 23, 2008, in the Federal Register (FR Doc. E8-16732,
page 42827) from three to one. Based on additional information received
when the items were to be repatriated, the NAGPRA coordinator,
Intermountain Region, determined that two of the sacred objects are not
culturally affiliated with the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico. The
cultural affiliation of those two objects is undetermined at this time.
Repatriation of the sacred object described as a bundle with eagle
feathers in the July 23, 2008, Notice of Intent to Repatriate is not
affected by this correction.
In the Federal Register of July 23, 2008, (FR Doc. E8-16732, page
42827), paragraph numbers 3-5 are corrected by substituting the
following three paragraphs:
In 1994, the National Park Service assisted the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service with the
investigation of a Migratory Bird Treaty Act violation. The evidence
included a collection of Native American objects confiscated from the
East-West Trading Post in Santa Fe, NM. Preliminary subject matter
expert review of the collection indicated that the objects were
historically significant and potentially subject to NAGPRA. The
collection was accessioned in 2002 into the Southwest Regional Office
collections, now called the Intermountain Region Office. The cultural
item covered in this notice is one bundle with eagle feathers.
Following adjudication of the case, a detailed assessment of the
object was made by Intermountain Region (IMR) NAGPRA program staff in
close collaboration with the IMR Museum Services program staff and in
consultation with representatives of potentially affiliated tribes.
During consultation, representatives of the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New
Mexico, identified the cultural item as a specific ceremonial object
needed by traditional Pueblo of Santa Ana religious leaders for the
practice of a traditional Native American religion by their present-day
adherents. Oral tradition evidence presented by representatives of the
Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico, and the written repatriation request
received by the Intermountain Region further articulated the ceremonial
significance of the cultural item to the Pueblo of Santa Ana, New
Mexico. Based on anthropological information, court case documentation,
oral tradition, museum records, consultation evidence, and expert
opinion, there is a cultural affiliation between the Pueblo of Santa
Ana, New Mexico, and the sacred object.
Officials of the Intermountain Region have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the 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. Officials of the
Intermountain Region 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 sacred object and the Pueblo of Santa
Ana, New Mexico. Repatriation of the sacred object to the Pueblo of
Santa Ana, New Mexico, occurred after the 30 day comment period expired
for the original July 23, 2008, Notice of Intent to Repatriate.
The Intermountain Region is responsible for notifying the Apache
