of the Interior, National Park Service,
Tumacacori National Historical Park,
Tumacacori, AZ. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed from areas near Tumacacori
Mission in Santa Cruz County, AZ.
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
within this notice are the sole
responsibility of the superintendent,
Tumacacori National Historical Park.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by Tumacacori National
Historical Park and Western
Archeological and Conservation Center
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Ak Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River

of Arizona; Mescalero Apache Tribe of
the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico;

Apache Tribe of the San Carlos

Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. The Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona did not attend the consultation
meetings but was represented by the
Gila River Indian Community of the Gila
River Indian Reservation, Arizona. The
Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma;
Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico;
Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; and the
White Mountain Apache Tribe of the
Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona were
contacted but did not participate in the
consultation meetings.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site within what is now
Tumacacori National Historical Park in
Santa Cruz County, AZ. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a
cremation/burial jar.
In the 1930s, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the area
near Tumacacori Mission in Santa Cruz
County, AZ. The remains and associated
funerary object were donated to
Tumacacori National Historical Park in
1938 by Louis Caywood. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a
cremation/burial jar.
Between December 1934 and March
1935, human remains representing a

minimum of two individuals were
removed from an unknown location area
near Tumacacori Mission in Santa Cruz
County, AZ. No known individuals
were identified. The 38 associated
funerary objects are 33 plainware
pottery sherds from a cremation/burial
jar, 2 bags of sherds from a cremation
jar, 1 unworked burnt shell, 1 piece of
worked faunal bone, and 1 pendant.
In 1955, human remains representing
a minimum of nine individuals were
removed from fields just outside park
boundaries in Santa Cruz County, AZ.
The remains and associated funerary
objects were donated to the park by J.L.
Kalb, a local rancher in whose fields the
remains and objects were found. No
known individuals were identified. The
43 associated funerary objects are 4
cremation/burial jars, 1 cremation/
burial bowl, 11 pieces of burnt
unworked bone, 9 unworked ceramic
sherds, 2 worked ceramic sherds, 12
beads, 1 shell bracelet fragment, 1 piece
of worked faunal bone, 1 unworked
shell fragment, and 1 awl.
The Native American human remains
described above are all cremations with
associated pottery vessels and artifacts
that are characteristic of the culture
group commonly known to
archeologists as the Hohokam and date
between A.D. 300 and A.D. 1300. The
term ‘‘Hohokam’’ is used here for
convenience due to its common use as
a descriptor of this culture; it is
unknown what name these people
applied to themselves, and their
present-day descendants do not use this
term. The ‘‘Hohokam’’ were a sedentary
agricultural group that developed out of
the local Archaic population. Their
settlement pattern was predominantly of
the rancheria type, with pithouse or
house-in-pit architecture. Pit or urn
cremations were the predominant burial
practice prior to A.D. 1100. Extended
supine inhumations then became more
prevalent, completely replacing
cremations by A.D. 1300. There was a
pronounced, though far from complete,
decline in population after about A.D.
1350.
The Ak Chin Indian Community of
the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation; and the Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona comprise one cultural
group known as the O’odham. The Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Reservation,
Arizona consists primarily of Akimel
and Tohono O’odham, with a few
families of Hia-Ced O’odham. The Gila
River Indian Community of the Gila

River Indian Reservation, Arizona and
the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation are both composed
primarily of Akimel O’odham along
with small populations of Maricopas.
The O’odham commonly refer to their
ancestors as the ‘‘Huhugam’’. The
Akimel O’odham, Tohono O’odham and
the Hia-Ced O’odham (not Federallyrecognized) are descendants of the
‘‘Huhugam’’. Their oral history
documents the end time of the
‘‘Hohokam’’, and archeological evidence
supports the link between historic
O’odham groups and the prehistoric
‘‘Hohokam’’. Linguistic, oral tradition,
and ethnographic evidence also support
affiliation between the ‘‘Hohokam’’ and
the present-day O’odham.
The Hopi Tribe of Arizona considers
all of Arizona to be within traditional
Hopi lands, or within areas where Hopi
clans migrated in the past. According to
Hopi oral history some clans moved out
of the Valley of Mexico/Central Mexico
and migrated north into the Gila and
Salt River Basins. The Santa Cruz
Valley, which extends from Northern
Sonora, Mexico into southern Arizona
to the confluence of the Gila and Salt
Rivers, was a natural corridor for the
movement of peoples from the south
and served as a migration route for Hopi
clans. Several researchers have noted
similarities between Hopi ceremonies
and those of the O’odham. On May 23,
1994, the Hopi Tribe of Arizona issued
a resolution declaring its cultural
affiliation with the ‘‘Hohokam’’.
Oral history suggests that some Zuni
clans began their migrations in the SaltGila River basins and originated from
the Hohokam. On July 11, 1995, the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico issued a ‘‘Statement of Cultural
Affiliation with Prehistoric and Historic
Cultures’’ which asserts a shared group
identity with the ‘‘Hohokam’’ based on
oral teachings and traditions,
ethnohistoric documentation, and
historic and archeological evidence.
Zuni oral history speaks of ancestral
migrations and settling throughout the
region in search for the Middle Place of
the World (present-day Pueblo of Zuni).
A recent publication, Zuni Origins,
discusses some of the evidence for
shared group identity between the
‘‘Hohokam’’ of southern Arizona and
the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation,
New Mexico.
Officials of Tumacacori National
Historical Park have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 13
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Tumacacori

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 83 objects 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. Lastly, officials of
Tumacacori National Historical Park
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
associated funerary objects and the Ak

Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt

of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian

associated funerary objects should
contact Lisa Carrico, superintendent,
