3. Impacts to adjacent residents,
including Forest Lakes, Deer Valley, and
Pine Springs Ranch subdivisions.
Other issues are not to be included in
the analysis because they were
determined to be outside the scope of
the proposed action; already decided by
law, regulation, plan, or higher level
decision; irrelevant to the decision to be
made; opinion, conjectural, or not
supported by factual evidence; or purely
supportive of the proposed action.
These issues led to the development
of four alternatives that will be analyzed
in the EA: Alternative 1—No Action—
existing travel management designation
would remain in place; Alternative 2—
cross-country motorized travel would
no longer be allowed and all motorized
travel would be restricted to existing
open system roads and trails;
Alternative 3—would provide
motorized opportunities on designated
roads and trails utilizing some closed
roads and some user created routes, in
addition to the existing open roads and
trails in Alternative 2, while protecting
the resources from impacts; Alternative
4—would be similar to Alternative 3,
with additional miles of designated
motorized trails. These alternatives will
be described in detail when the PreDecisional EA is released.

agreed to by the applicant and the

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent To Repatriate a
Cultural Item: Southwest Museum of
the American Indian, Autry National
Center of the American West, Los
Angeles, CA
National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
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 a cultural item in the
possession of the Southwest Museum of
the American Indian, Autry National
Center of the American West, Los
Angeles, CA, that meets the definition of
‘‘sacred object’’ 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 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.
The one cultural item is a wooden
Kickapoo Prayer Stick (object number
2006.85.11). There are symbolic images
on the front of the stick and a sticker on
the back reads ‘‘Kickapoo Indians/from
Kansas/Prayer stick.’’ The museum
acquired the cultural item from an
anonymous donor in 2006. In an
unknown year, the donor received the
object from a Mr. Robert Babcock, owner
of an ‘‘Indian Curio’’ shop located in
VerDate Nov<24>2008
01:23 Mar 25, 2009
Jkt 217001
Beverly Hills, CA. It is unknown how
Mr. Babcock obtained the cultural item.
The Prayer Stick is used in the
Kennekuk religion, which is one of the
traditional religions of the Kickapoo
Tribe of Indians of the Kickapoo
Reservation in Kansas. The Kennekuk
religion is derived from a tribal
bandleader, Kennekuk, who began the
religion in the early 19th century. The
Kickapoo are originally from the Ohio
and Southern Michigan area between
Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. From the
mid 1600s to the early 1800s, the
Kickapoo tribe moved west to Indiana
and then to Illinois. In the early 1800s,
many Kickapoo bands traveled to
various places within the United States
and Northern Mexico. Kennekuk
remained in western Illinois with his
followers. In 1832, his band along with
another band from Missouri signed the
Treaty of Castor Hill, which created a
reservation in northeastern Kansas. The
Missouri band eventually left the
reservation, while Kennekuk’s band
remained. Thus, this religion and this
Prayer Stick is specific to the Kickapoo
Tribe of Indians of the Kickapoo
Reservation in Kansas.
The symbols on the Prayer Stick
represent prayers said by religious
leaders and Kennekuk followers for
individuals, other members of the
religion, and tribal members. This object
is intricately tied to the practice of the
Kennekuk religion. Additionally, the
icons are also derived from Kickapoo
traditional culture. During consultation,
members of the Kennekuk religion have
identified this Prayer Stick as authentic
and needed for the continual use of the
religion.
Officials of the Southwest Museum of
the American Indian, Autry National
Center of the American West have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(C), the one 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 Southwest Museum of
the American Indian, Autry National
Center of the American West 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 Kickapoo Tribe of Indians
of the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred object should
contact LaLena Lewark, NAGPRA
