Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 20 / Monday, February 2, 2009 / Notices
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
Binghamton University, State University
of New York, Binghamton, NY. The
human remains were removed from the
Susquehanna Valley, Delaware County,
NY.
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 Binghamton
University, State University of New
York professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; Oneida Nation of
New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe,
New York (formerly the St. Regis Band
of Mohawk Indians of New York); and
Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
In 1973, human remains representing
a minimum of five individuals were
removed from the Hoyt West site (SUBi–
085) in Delaware County, NY. The
human remains were uncovered
accidentally by Lane Construction
during construction of the Interstate–88
highway. Construction workers gave the
human remains to archeologists who
were working nearby the site. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Partial excavations and surface
collections occurred at Hoyt West as
part of salvage operations during the
Interstate–88 construction project.
Undiagnostic precontact artifacts
(mostly lithics) and historic artifacts
(mostly European-made ceramics) were
found at the site. Local collectors
reported finding slate pendants in the
area. During construction, the topsoil
was stripped and employees of the
contractor found fragmented human
remains. While some fire-reddened
areas were noted by archeologists, no
burial features were exposed. Analysis
by a bioarcheologist found that some
individuals had Native American,
African, and European traits. Historical
artifacts, the mixture of biological traits,
oral history, and a Haudenosaunee map
of aboriginal lands indicate that this site
is located within a region that was the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

territory of the Mohawk during the early
Historic Period. The human remains
from the Hoyt West site are determined
to be culturally affiliated with the
present-day descendants of the Mohawk
represented by the Akwesasne Mohawk
community composed of the Saint Regis
Mohawk Tribe, New York and Mohawk
Nation Council of Chiefs, a nonFederally recognized Indian group.
Officials of Binghamton University
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of five individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of
Binghamton University 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 Saint
Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York, and
Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Nina M. Versaggi, Public
Archaeology Facility, Binghamton
University, Binghamton, NY 13902–
6000, telephone (607) 777–4786, before
March 4, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Saint Regis
Mohawk Tribe, New York, on behalf of
themselves and the Mohawk Nation
Council of Chiefs, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group, may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
Binghamton University is responsible
for notifying the Delaware Nation,
Oklahoma; Oneida Nation of New York;
Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin;
Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York;
and Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs,
a non-Federally recognized Indian
group that this notice has been
published.

the skull was donated to the Department
of Anthropology by an unknown donor.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Department records indicate an
unsigned note stated that the skull was
from Vancouver, WA, and removed
from the north side of the Columbia
River in the early 1900s during a
construction project. Oregon State
University, Department of Anthropology
osteology experts have indicated that
the skull has been culturally modified.
The Vancouver area was used
extensively by many Native Americans,
both prior to and during the trading era
of the Hudson’s Bay Company, which
was located at Fort Vancouver. From
1824 until 1860, this site was a
principle trading post, with over 25
Indian Tribes from the Northwest either
living or visiting this area. In addition,
tribes from the Great Plains, the eastern
seaboard, and the Hawaiian Islands
have been associated with this area
during that time.
From 1860 to 1948, the site was
considered part of the Fort Vancouver
National Monument and was used by
the U.S. Army. It was during this period
that many Northwest tribal people were
