Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the County of
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches, TX, that
meet the definition of ‘‘unassociated
funerary objects’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
In 2004, an incised bowl and two
chert drills were removed from a burial
pit at archeological site 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. No preserved human
remains were in the burial pit.
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 eight burials. Five burials had
preserved human remains (two of these
burials included associated funerary
objects), two burial pits preserved
neither human remains nor associated
funerary objects, and one burial pit
preserved no human remains, but did
contain the unassociated funerary
objects described above. The mortuary
practices and types of associated and
unassociated funerary objects are
consistent with the traditions of the
Caddo Indian peoples. Preserved
funerary offerings included pottery
vessels placed near the shoulders or
head. Geographic placement of the site
and archeological evidence provide a
reasonable basis for the officials of the
County of Nacogdoches to believe that
the unassociated funerary objects are
culturally affiliated with the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma.
Officials of the County of
Nacogdoches have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the
three cultural items 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 and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American

individual. Officials of the County of
Nacogdoches 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 unassociated funerary objects and
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact George Campbell,
County of Nacogdoches, 101 West Main
Street, Nacogdoches, TX 75961,
telephone (936) 569–6772, before April
13, 2009. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects to the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The County of Nacogdoches is
responsible for notifying the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has
been published.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves

to repatriate cultural items in the

National Park, HI, that meet the
definition of ‘‘unassociated funerary
objects’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 superintendent, Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park.
In 1905, five funerary objects were
removed from Forbes Cave in Hawaii
County, HI, by David Forbes, William
Wagner, and Frederich Haenisch. The
whereabouts of the human remains that
were in the cave is unknown. On March
14, 1956, the five items were donated to
Hawaii National Park, now known as

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, by
Forbes’ daughter, Blodwin Forbes
Edmondson. The five unassociated
funerary objects are one carved wooden
female image, one game board or table,
one cutting tool made from a human
clavicle, one gourd water bottle with
shell stopper, and one wrist ornament
made of rock oyster, and are Native
Hawaiian in origin.
Claims based on cultural affiliation
were received by Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park from the Department of
Hawaiian Homelands, Hawaii Island
Burial Council, Hoohuli Ohana, Hooulu
Lahui, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O
Hawai’i Nei, Ka Ohana Ayau,
Keaweamahi Ohana, Kekumano Ohana,
Laika-a-Mauia Ohana, Na Lei Alii
Kawananakoa, Na Papa Kanaka O
Pu’ukohola Heiau, Office of Hawaiian
Affairs, Royal Hawaiian Academy of
Traditional Arts, and Van Horn
Diamond Ohana. Each qualifies as a
Native Hawaiian organization under
NAGPRA, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(11), and each is entitled to claim
and receive the five unassociated
funerary objects. Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park is unable to determine
which requesting party is the most
appropriate claimant.
Officials of Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the
five cultural items 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 and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park 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
unassociated funerary objects and the
Department of Hawaiian Homelands,
Hawaii Island Burial Council, Hoohuli

Kawananakoa, Na Papa Kanaka O
Pu’ukohola Heiau, Office of Hawaiian
Affairs, Royal Hawaiian Academy of

Diamond Ohana. Lastly, officials of
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have
determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR
10.10 (c)(2), the park cannot determine
by the preponderance of the evidence
which requesting party is the most
appropriate claimant and will retain the
unassociated funerary objects until the
Department of Hawaiian Homelands,

In 2004, an incised bowl and two chert drills were removed from a

Nacogdoches, TX 75961, telephone (936) 569-6772, before April 13, 2009.

forward.

Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
