site was intermittently occupied from
prehistoric times into the historic era.
All of the human remains and
associated funerary objects described
above from the Kent County sites are, by
a preponderance of the evidence,
culturally affiliated with the present-day
Federally-recognized Little River Band
of Ottawa Indians, Michigan, whose
ancestors include the Grand River
Ottawa Bands. The historic occupation
of Kent County, MI, by the Little River
Band of Ottawa Indians is well
documented.
Officials of The Public Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of eight individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of The
Public Museum also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the 264 associated funerary objects
described above are reasonably believed
to have been placed with or near
individual remains at the time of death
or later as part of the death rite or
ceremony. Lastly, officials of The Public
Museum 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
Little River Band of Ottawa Indians,
Michigan.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Marilyn Merdzinski, Director of
Collections and Preservation, The
Public Museum, 272 Pearl St. NW.,
Grand Rapids, MI 49504, telephone
(616) 456–3521, before September 21,
2009. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians, Michigan may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Public Museum is responsible for
notifying the Grand Traverse Band of
Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,
Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians, Michigan; and Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan
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 control of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and in
the physical custody of the New York
University College of Dentistry, New
York, NY. The human remains were
removed from Hawikuh, Cibola County,
NM.
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 the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and New York University
College of Dentistry professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico.
In February 1921, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from ‘‘Burial
1263’’ at Hawikuh, Cibola County, NM,
during legally permitted excavations by
the Museum of the American Indian,
Heye Foundation. At the time of
excavation, the site of Hawikuh was
located on Zuni tribal lands. In 1921,
the human remains were accessioned
into the collections of the Museum of
the American Indian. In 1956, the
Museum of the American Indian
transferred the human remains to Dr.
Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Records identify the human remains
as ‘‘Burial 1263’’ from Hawikuh. Cranial
morphology suggests that the human
remains are consistent with an
individual of Native American ancestry.
Consultation evidence, historic
documents, and archeological data
indicate Hawikuh was a Zuni settlement

occupied from the 14th to 17th
centuries. Zuni traditions identify the
region around Hawikuh as their
ancestral territory. Archeological data
suggest that the site was inhabited since
circa A.D. 1300. The first historic
records of Hawikuh were made by the
Spanish in 1536; over the next 150 years
the Spanish documented their visits and
missions at Hawikuh, which they
identified as one of the seven cities of
Cibola. After the Pueblo Revolt of 1680,
the Zuni resettled at the location of the
current Zuni Pueblo. Oral tradition and
historic records describe both the revolt
and the subsequent aggregation of Zuni
people at the Zuni Pueblo. For a number
of years, some Zuni periodically
returned to Hawikuh for short stays.
The Spanish granted the land at
Hawikuh and other Zuni villages to the
Zuni in 1689. The Zuni have remained
in the area to the present-day. The
present Zuni reservation was first
established by Executive Order in 1877,
although the boundaries were
subsequently modified. The Zuni voted
to hold elections under the Indian
Reorganization Act in 1934, and
adopted a constitution in 1970. Today
the Zuni Tribe is recognized as the Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and 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 the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and 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 Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico.
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,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before
September 21, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry and Bureau of Indian Affairs
are responsible for notifying the Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation of New
Mexico that this notice has been
published.

professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Nome Eskimo
Community.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unidentified site at Cape Nome, AK, by
an unknown individual. By 1924, the
human remains were donated to the
Museum of the American Indian, Heye
Foundation by Mrs. George Heye. In
1956, the human remains were
transferred to Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff,
New York University College of

identified. No associated funerary

Museum of the American Indian
records list the locality of origin as Cape
Nome, AK. The human remains are
well-preserved and the morphology is
consistent with Native American
ancestry. There are four cultural phases
for the Cape Nome area, the Denbigh
Flint Complex, Norton, Birnirk, and
Cape Nome phases. Because
preservation of human remains is
extremely rare for sites in the Cape

Nome region that predate the Cape
Nome phase, it is likely that the human
remains date to the Cape Nome phase,
circa A.D. 1000–1800. The Cape Nome
phase corresponds to the Western Thule
tradition of the Bering Sea region. In the
Western Thule tradition, the people of
the Seward Peninsula were highly
localized, with differences in their
lifeways based on the particular
resources available in their territory.
Localization may have occurred
alongside the development of
geopolitical boundaries. Cape Nome was
a coastal area with a focus on smaller
sea mammals.
Cape Nome was part of the
Ayaasaeiarmiut or Cape Nome territory
of Inupiaq speakers at the time of
Euroamerican contact. Burials at Cape
Nome were described by Edward Nelson
in the late 19th century. Nelson
observed that human remains were
placed in wooden boxes that were
elevated onto poles. The boxes were
exposed to the elements and highly
visible to collectors.
Archeological and consultation
evidence indicates that the
Ayaasaeiarmiut Inupiaq inhabited the
Cape Nome area since at least A.D.
1000. Today, the descendants of the
people of Cape Nome are represented by
the Nome Eskimo Community.

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 control of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Washington, DC,
and in the physical custody of the New York University College of
Dentistry, New York, NY. The human remains were removed from Hawikuh,
Cibola County, NM.
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 the Bureau
of Indian Affairs and New York University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
In February 1921, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from ``Burial 1263'' at Hawikuh, Cibola County,
NM, during legally permitted excavations by the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation. At the time of excavation, the site of Hawikuh
was located on Zuni tribal lands. In 1921, the human remains were
accessioned into the collections of the Museum of the American Indian.
In 1956, the Museum of the American Indian transferred the human
remains to Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff, New York University College of
Dentistry. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Records identify the human remains as ``Burial 1263'' from Hawikuh.
Cranial morphology suggests that the human remains are consistent with
an individual of Native American ancestry. Consultation evidence,
historic documents, and archeological data indicate Hawikuh was a Zuni
settlement occupied from the 14th to 17th centuries. Zuni traditions
identify the region around Hawikuh as their ancestral territory.
Archeological data suggest that the site was inhabited since circa A.D.
1300. The first historic records of Hawikuh were made by the Spanish in
1536; over the next 150 years the Spanish documented their visits and
missions at Hawikuh, which they identified as one of the seven cities
of Cibola. After the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the Zuni resettled at the
location of the current Zuni Pueblo. Oral tradition and historic
records describe both the revolt and the subsequent aggregation of Zuni
people at the Zuni Pueblo. For a number of years, some Zuni
periodically returned to Hawikuh for short stays.
The Spanish granted the land at Hawikuh and other Zuni villages to
the Zuni in 1689. The Zuni have remained in the area to the present-
day. The present Zuni reservation was first established by Executive
Order in 1877, although the boundaries were subsequently modified. The
Zuni voted to hold elections under the Indian Reorganization Act in
1934, and adopted a constitution in 1970. Today the Zuni Tribe is
recognized as the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 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 the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and 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 Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Dr.
