DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI
National Park Service, Interior.
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 Bishop Museum,
Honolulu, 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 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.
Five cultural items were collected
from Kanupa Cave, South Kohala, HI, by
J.S. Emerson and donated to the Bishop
Museum in 1889, as part of the earliest
of the Bishop Museum collections. The
five unassociated funerary objects are
three poi bowls, a wooden bowl and
cover, and a fan.
In 1939, nine cultural items were
collected from Kanupa Cave, South
Kohala, HI, by Kenneth Emory, a Bishop
Museum staff member. The nine
unassociated funerary objects are six
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:45 Jul 06, 2009
Jkt 217001
pieces of aha, hau and olona cordage,
and three mat fragments.
The cultural affiliation of the cultural
items is established as being Native
Hawaiian through Bishop Museum
records and consultation with the
Hawaii Island Burial Council, Hui
Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei,
and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Both
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei
and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs have
requested repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects. 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
unassociated funerary objects.
Officials of the Bishop Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 14 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 Hawaiian individual or
individuals. Officials of the Bishop
Museum 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
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei
and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Both
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei
and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs have
requested repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects, and
officials of the Bishop Museum cannot
determine by the preponderance of the
evidence which requesting party is the
most appropriate claimant.
Consequently, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.10
(c)(2), the Bishop Museum will retain
the unassociated funerary objects until
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei
and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs
mutually agree upon the appropriate
recipient or the dispute is otherwise
resolved pursuant to NAGPRA or as
ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
Representatives of any other Native
Hawaiian organization that believes
itself to be culturally affiliated with the
unassociated funerary objects should
contact Betty Lou Kam, Vice President
Cultural Resources, Bishop Museum,
1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, HI
96817, telephone (808) 848–4144, before
August 6, 2009. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects to Hui
Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei and
the Office of Hawaiian Affairs may
proceed after that date when the

affiliated Native Hawaiian organizations
have mutually agreed upon a resolution.

notifying the Hawaii Island Burial
Council, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O
Hawai’i Nei, and the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs that this notice has been
published.

Notice.
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 New
York University College of Dentistry,
New York City, NY. The human remains
were removed from Crab Creek Coulee,
Grant 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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site on the Crab Creek Coulee,
Grant County, WA, by Harlan Smith. At
an unknown date, the human remains
were acquired by C.B. Moore. In 1917,
Mr. Moore donated the human remains
to the Museum of the American Indian,
Heye Foundation. In 1956, the human
remains were transferred to Dr.
