preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the Maryhill Museum of Art
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 Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon, and
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington.
Furthermore, officials of the Maryhill
Museum of Art have determined that
there is a cultural relationship between
the unassociated funerary objects and
the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Colleen
Schafroth, Executive Director, Maryhill
Museum of Art, 35 Maryhill Museum

after that date if no additional claimants
come forward. The Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands
of the Yakama Nation, Washington; and
the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group, are jointly
claiming the unassociated funerary

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and the
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group, that this notice
has been published.

ACTION:
Notice.
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 Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL.
The human remains were removed from
Kodiak, Kodiak Island, AK.
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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Field Museum of
Natural History professional staff in
consultation with professional staff of
the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological
Repository, Kodiak, AK, on behalf of
Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi
Village (aka Woody Island); Natives of
Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun’aq Tribe of
Kodiak.
In 1893, employees of the Field
Museum of Natural History purchased
human remains representing one
individual from Ward’s Natural Science
Establishment, Rochester, NY (Field
Museum of Natural History accession
number 407, catalog number 41470). 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 ‘‘Eskimo’’ from an
‘‘ancient dwelling near St. Paul, Kodiak
Isl., Alaska.’’ St. Paul, Kodiak Island,
AK, is present-day Kodiak, Kodiak
Island, AK. The term ‘‘Eskimo’’ is used
by anthropologists to refer to both the
prehistoric and historic Native peoples
of the Kodiak region, who are the
ancestors of the present-day Alutiiq
people. Specifically, the human remains
are from an area of the Kodiak
archipelago traditionally used by
shareholders and citizens of Koniag,
Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka
Woody Island); Natives of Kodiak, Inc.;
and Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak.
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,
