Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices
The notice published in the Federal
Register (63 FR 49025–49026,
September 18, 1997) is corrected by
substituting paragraphs 7–9 with the
following:
Between 1979 and 1980, human
remains representing 193 individuals
were recovered from 11 prehistoric sites
within the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project
in the Santa Rita Mountains, Coronado
National Forest, Pima County, AZ,
during legally authorized excavations by
the Arizona State Museum, University
of Arizona. No known individuals were
identified. The 1,318 associated
funerary objects include ceramic bowls
and jars; pottery sherds; shell, bone and
turquoise ornaments; bone and stone
tools; projectile point and groundstone.
Based on architecture, material
culture and site organization, the 11
sites within the ANAMAX-Rosemont
Project have been identified as PreClassic Hohokam village occupations
dating between A.D. 450 and 1150.
Continuities of ethnographic materials,
technology and architecture indicate the
affiliation of Hohokam sites in the area
of the ANAMAX-Rosemont Project with
present-day O’odham cultures. The oral
traditions of the Ak-Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of
the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; and
Tohono O’odham Nation, Arizona,
support the cultural affiliation of these
four Indian tribes with Hohokam sites in
this area of southeastern Arizona. The
oral traditions of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico indicate some
cultural ties or relationships to certain
portions of southeastern Arizona in the
late Post-Classic Period (A.D. 1300–
1450). While the Hopi Tribe and Zuni
Tribe have cultural ties to certain
portions of southeastern Arizona in the
late Pre-Classic Period, the Ak-Chin
Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak
Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila
River Indian Community of the Gila
River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation, Arizona have a closer
cultural relationship and affiliation with
these Pre-Classic Period sites within the
ANAMAX-Rosemont Project.
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado
National Forest have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 193
individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Officials of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Coronado National Forest also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 1,318 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
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado
National Forest 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
Ak-Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arziona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation, Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Dr. Frank E. Wozniak, NAGPRA
Coordinator, Southwestern Region,
USDA Forest Service, 333 Broadway
Blvd., SE, Albuquerque, NM 87102,
telephone (505) 842–3238, before April
13, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Ak-Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Forest is responsible for notifying the
Ak-Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,

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 possession of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University,
Cambridge, MA. The human remains
were removed from Columbia County,
WA.
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 list of
culturally affiliated groups listed in a
Notice of Inventory Completion
published in the Federal Register (66
FR 17736, April 3, 2001). Information
derived from recent consultations has
resulted in the addition of the Coeur
D’Alene Tribe of the Coeur D’Alene
Reservation, Idaho; Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon;
and Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group, to the
culturally affiliated list.
The notice published in the Federal
Register (66 FR 17736, April 3, 2001) is
replaced with the following:
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Peabody Museum

Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group,
In 1871, human remains representing
one individual were collected from the
banks of the Snake River at the mouth
of Tucannon, near Fort Taylor,
Columbia County, WA, by C.R.
Greenleaf. In 1872, Mr. Greenleaf gifted
these human remains to the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation identifies
this individual as a ‘‘Palouse Indian.’’
The attribution of such a specific
cultural affiliation to the human
remains indicates that the interment
post-dates sustained contact between
indigenous groups and Europeans
beginning in the early 19th century. The
human remains were from an area
commonly considered to be traditional
Palouse territory during this period.
Oral traditions and historic evidence
indicate that although some Palouse
people occupied their traditional
territory until the mid–1900s, many
Palouse people went to live on
neighboring reservations beginning in
the late 19th century, where they
continue to maintain their group
identity as Palouse people. Based on
consultation with the Indian Tribes
listed above, the present-day tribes
representing the Palouse people are the
Coeur D’Alene Tribe of the Coeur
D’Alene Reservation, Idaho;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of

individual of Native American ancestry.
