Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI

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

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

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.
Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No

known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Museum of the American Indian
records list the locality of origin as Crab
Creek Coulee, WA. The morphology of
the human remains is consistent with
Native American ancestry. The
condition of the human remains
suggests that they were removed from a
Historic Period burial that probably
dated to the 1800s.
Tribal representatives identified Crab
Creek, Grant County, WA, as part of the
ancestral territory of both the Wanapum
and Sinkayuse. Historic records from
the early 19th century document
Wanapum and Sinkayuse villages in
Grant County. The northern boundary of
the Wanapum extended to Crab Creek,
while the southern edge of the
Sinkayuse territory extended to Crab
Creek. The extremities of the territories
were defined by diffuse boundaries, and
boundaries shifted according to who
lived in or utilized land along the creek.
At the time, the people living in the
region did not organize themselves
according to a tribe in the modern-day
sense. Organization was along family,
clan, and village lines. Trading and
intermarriage were common between
villages and groups.
During the 19th century, some
Wanapum became part of the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakima Nation, Washington, while
others remained part of the staterecognized Wanapum Band that stayed
in their ancestral territory. The
Sinkayuse relocated among the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington. Today, all
three groups maintain close relations
and coordinate repatriations for human
remains from Grant County.
Officials of New York University
College of Dentistry 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 New York University
College of Dentistry 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 the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; 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 human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St., New York, NY 10010,

August 6, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of

Confederated Tribes of the Colville

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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis, Davis, CA. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Lake
County, CA.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of
the Colusa Indian Community of the
Colusa Rancheria, California; Cortina

California; and Rumsey Indian
Rancheria of Wintun Indians of
California.
In 1971–1973, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from CA–
LAK–152 in Lake County, CA.
Accompanying records indicate that the
human remains were recovered by the
Foundation for Archaeological Research
during archeological excavations related
to the construction of Indian Valley
Reservoir by the Yolo County Flood
Control and Water Conservation
District. In 2006, the Yolo County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District
donated the Indian Valley archeological
collection to the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California at Davis. No known
individual was identified. The 71
associated funerary objects are 11
clamshell disk beads, 59 Olivella lipped
and full lipped beads and bead
fragments, and 1 obsidian biface.
Based on burial context and site
characteristics, the human remains
described above from Lake County are
determined to be Native American in
origin. The presence of clamshell disk
beads with the burial indicates that it
dates to Phase 2 of the Late Period
(approximately A.D. 1500–1790).
Linguistic evidence indicates that the
Patwin (Southern Wintun) moved
southward from the vicinity of the
California–Oregon border into the
Sacramento Valley sometime around
A.D. 0, and then spread into the
surrounding foothills sometime before
the beginning of Phase 2 of the Late
Period. The archeological assemblage
from CA–LAK–152 also indicates an
occupation that is consistent with the
ethnographic Patwin. Based on
geographical location and age of the
associated funerary objects, the human
remains and associated funerary objects
are culturally affiliated with
descendants of the Patwin.
In 1971–1973, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from CA–
LAK–153 in Lake County, CA.
Accompanying records indicate that the
human remains were recovered by the
