Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices
Native American human remains
described in this notice were excavated
under an Antiquities Act permit by the
University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, on
Army Corps of Engineers project lands.
Following excavations at the site
described below, and under the
provisions of the permit, the University
of Oregon retained the human remains
for preservation.
In 1950, human remains representing
one individual were removed from site
35–LA–282, also known as the Perkins
Peninsula Site, Lane, OR, during
excavations by the University of Oregon
prior to construction of the proposed
Fern Ridge Reservoir. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Site 35–LA–282 is believed to have
been used as a habitation site during an
undetermined prehistoric period based
on the presence of features and artifacts
observed within the site. No evidence of
a formal burial with associated funerary
objects was found at the site. Based on
the location of the human remains
within the site, the individual has been
determined to be Native American.
Ethnographic records suggest the area
surrounding site 35–LA–282 was likely
occupied by Kalapuya bands during the
early Contact Period. Site 35–LA–282 is
within or near the traditional lands of
Kalapuyan peoples whose descendants
are culturally affiliated with the presentday members of the Confederated Tribes
of the Grand Ronde Community of
Oregon and/or Confederated Tribes of
the Siletz Reservation, Oregon.
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon include at
least 26 tribes and bands whose
ancestral homelands span across
western Oregon, southwestern
Washington and northern California.
The Grand Ronde tribes and bands
include the Rogue River, Umpqua,
Chasta, Kalapuya, Molala, Clackamas,
Salmon River, Tillamook, and Nestucca,
as well as other smaller groups. At the
time of contact, the individual groups
spoke 30 dialects of the Athapascan,
Chinookan, Kalapuyan, Takelman,
Molalan, Sahaptin, Salishan, and
Shastan language families. In 1856–
1857, the U.S. Government forcibly
relocated the Grand Ronde peoples to
the Grand Ronde Reservation at the
headwaters of the South Yamhill River
in Yamhill and Polk Counties, OR. The
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon were first
incorporated in 1935, terminated from
federal recognition in 1954, and restored
with tribal recognition in 1983.
The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon are a confederation
of 30 bands whose ancestral territory
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
ranged along the entire Oregon coast
and Coast Range, inland to the main
divide of the Cascade Range and south
to the Rogue River watershed. The
principal tribes include the Clatsop,
Chinook, Klickitat, Molala, Kalapuya,
Tillamook, Alsea, Siuslaw/Lower
Umpqua, Coos, Coquille, Upper
Umpqua, Tututni, Chetco, Tolowa,
Takelma or Upper Rogue River, Galice/
Applegate, and Shasta. The ancestors of
these tribes spoke at least 10 different
base languages, many with strong
dialectic divisions even within the same
language. In general, five linguistic
stocks – Salish, Yakonan, Kusan,
Takelman, and Athapascan – are
represented by the tribes. The tribes
were forcibly removed from their
homelands in 1855 by the U.S.
Government and placed on the Siletz
and Grand Ronde reservations. After
having their tribal status terminated
from federal recognition in 1954, the
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon were officially
restored in 1977.
Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Portland District 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.
Army Corps of Engineers, Portland
District 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
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon
and/or 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 Daniel Mulligan,
NAGPRA Coordinator, Environmental
Resources Branch, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Portland District, P.O. Box
2946, Portland, OR 97208–2946,
telephone (503) 808–4768, before April
13, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Tribes of
the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon
and/or Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Portland District is responsible for
notifying the Confederated Tribes of the
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon that this notice has
been published.

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 and associated funerary object
in the possession of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Great Plains Regional
Office, Aberdeen, SD. The human
remains and associated funerary object
were removed from Buffalo and Hughes
Counties, SD.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (3)(d). 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 object. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the South Dakota
State Historical Society-Archaeological
Research Center professional staff under
the direction of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Great Plains Regional Office
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
In 1986, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a cache pit at the Twin
or Lillian All Arounds Village,
39BF206/87–131, Buffalo County, SD,
by The Archeology Lab-Augustana
College personnel during improvements
to the Jennessee Road. The human
remains were curated at the South
Dakota State Historical SocietyArchaeological Research Center in
Rapid City, SD. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The manner of burial suggests that the
human remains are associated with the
Extended Coalescent Period (A.D. 1500–
A.D. 1675). Based on archeological,

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices
geographical and physical
anthropological data, the Extended
Coalescent Period is most likely
culturally related with the Arikara
Tribe.
In 1989 and 1990, human remains
representing a minimum of 16
individuals were removed from burial
and cache pits at the Indian School
Village, 39HU10/90–96, Hughes County,
SD, by The Archeology Lab-Augustana
College personnel during construction
of a dining hall and waterlines. The
human remains are curated at the
Bureau of Indian Affairs office. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1977, human remains representing
a minimum of four individuals were
removed from cache and burial pits at
the Indian School Village, 39HU10/94–
245, Hughes County, SD, by South
Dakota State Historical SocietyArchaeological Research Center
personnel. The human remains were
recovered during salvage excavations
following disturbance by construction of
a housing development. The human
remains were curated at the
Archaeological Research Center in
Rapid City. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object is bark matting that covered one
of the burials.
The manner of the burials suggests
that the human remains are associated
with the Extended (A.D. 1500–A.D.
1675) and Post-Contact Coalescent (A.D.
1675–A.D. 1750) Periods. Based on
archeological, geographical and physical
anthropological data, the Extended and
Post-Contact Coalescent Periods are
most likely culturally related with the
Arikara Tribe.
A physical anthropological
assessment of the human remains
resulted in a determination that the
individuals are most likely Native
American. An evaluation by the South
Dakota State Historical SocietyArchaeological Research Center
professional staff under the direction of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Great
Plains Regional Office staff on the
manner and location of the burials and
type of associated funerary object, also
supports an identification of the human
remains as Native American and most
likely culturally identifiable as Arikara.
The Arikara Tribe is part of the Mandan,
Hidatsa and Arikara Nation that
comprises the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
In June 2008, the Mandan, Hidatsa,
and Arikara Nation of the Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota submitted a
request to the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Great Plains Regional Office for
repatriation of the human remains and
one associated funerary object from the
Indian School and Twin or Lillian All
Arounds Villages.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs have determined that, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human
remains described above represent the
physical remains of 21 individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3) (A), the one object described
above is 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 have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a
relationship of shared group identity
can reasonably be traced between the
Native American human remains and
the associated funerary object and the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
contact Paul Hofmann, Chief, Division
of Environment, Safety and Cultural
Resources, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 115
4th Ave. SE, MC208, Aberdeen, SD
57401, telephone (605) 226–7656, before

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the control of the County of
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches, TX. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from
Nacogdoches County, TX.
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 County of
Nacogdoches through the services of
qualified preservation professionals in
consultation with representatives of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
In 2004, human remains representing
a minimum of five individuals were
removed from 41NA231, also known as
the Tallow Grove site, in the Lake
Naconiche project area, Nacogdoches
County, TX. The removal was associated
with archeological data recovery in an
area to be impacted by construction
and/or operation of Lake Naconiche. All
human remains and associated funerary
objects have been in the custody of the
principal investigator. No known
individuals were identified. The four
associated funerary objects are two
bowls and two jars.
The Tallow Grove site, 41NA231, is a
Middle Caddo Period habitation on a
late Holocene terrace near Naconiche
Creek. The temporal context is
supported by recovered temporally
diagnostic artifacts, radiocarbon
analyses, and oxidizable carbon ratio
dates. The main occupation of the site
took place between the early part of the
13th century and approximately A.D.
1480, and was preceded by an earlier
Woodland Period occupation that dates
from 110 B.C. to A.D. 435. None of the
radiocarbon-dated features are earlier
than the Middle Caddo Period. The
small cemetery (approximately 8 x 6
meters), situated near the remnants of
several structures, and an extensive
midden deposit and outdoor work area,
contained the five burials with
preserved human remains, one burial
pit with no preserved human remains
but with unassociated funerary objects,
and two other burial pits with neither
preserved human remains nor funerary
objects. The mortuary practices and
types of associated funerary objects are
consistent with the traditions of the
Caddo Indian peoples. Preserved
