Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices
removed from the the Alitak Bay side of
the Aliulik Peninsula, Kodiak Island,
AK, by Arthur Freeman, who donated
them to the Field Museum of Natural
History in 1983 (Field Museum of
Natural History accession number 3566,
catalog number 242601). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
specific cultural and geographic
attributions in Field Museum of Natural
History records. The records identify the
human remains as ‘‘probably Koniag,
Eskimo’’ from the ‘‘Alitak Bay side of
Aliulik Peninsula (154W 56’ 50’’N),
Kodiak, Alaska.’’ Koniag Eskimo - a
term used by anthropologists to refer to
both the late prehistoric and historic
Native peoples of the Kodiak region are the ancestors of the contemporary
Kodiak Alutiiq people. Specifically, the
human remains are from an area of the
Kodiak archipelago traditionally used
by shareholders and citizens of AkhiokKaguyak, Inc.; Kaguyak Village; Koniag,
Inc.; and Native Village of Akhiok.
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History 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 Field Museum of Natural
History 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 Akhiok-Kaguyak, Inc.; Kaguyak
Village; Koniag, Inc.; and Native Village
of Akhiok.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Helen Robbins,
Repatriation Director, Field Museum of
Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore
Drive, Chicago, IL 60605–2496,
telephone (312) 665–7317, before June
25, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to Akhiok-Kaguyak, Inc.;
Kaguyak Village; Koniag, Inc.; and
Native Village of Akhiok may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Field Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying AkhiokKaguyak, Inc.; Kaguyak Village; Koniag,
Inc.; and Native Village of Akhiok that
this notice has been published.
