AGENCY:
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, NY. The human remains
were removed from the Ely Site, Monroe
County, NY.
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 Seneca Nation of
New York, Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma, and Tonawanda Band of
Seneca Indians of New York.
Around 1940, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Burgett or Ely Site (RMSC HNE 124),
Monroe County, NY, by Robert Hill. In
1941, the remains were accessioned by
the Department of Physical
Anthropology at the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation. In
1956, the remains were transferred to
Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No

known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum of the American Indian
records list the locality of origin of the
human remains as the ‘‘Burgett Site,
West Rush, N.Y.’’ Labels with the
remains repeat this information and
specify that they were removed from
burial 12 or 13. Cranial morphology and
tooth shape is consistent with an
individual of Native American ancestry.
New York State Historic Preservation
Office site files identify the Burgett site
as the Ely Site, RMSC HNE 124.
Archeologists have interpreted the Ely
Site as a protohistoric Seneca site based
on the ceramic types, pipe styles,
lithics, and European materials present
at the site and found in association with
the burials. Consultations with the
Seneca Nation of New York, SenecaCayuga Tribe of Oklahoma, and
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York confirm the identification of
the Ely Site as a Seneca site.
After European contact, the Seneca
were divided geopolitically into two
groups, the Eastern Seneca and the
Western Seneca. The Eastern Seneca
remained in New York, while the
Western Seneca moved to Ohio and
then Oklahoma. The Eastern Seneca are
represented today by two Federallyrecognized tribes, the Seneca Nation of
New York and Tonawanda Band of
Seneca of New York. The Western
Seneca are represented by the SenecaCayuga Tribe of Oklahoma.
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
Seneca Nation of New York, SenecaCayuga Tribe of Oklahoma, and
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York.
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
October 22, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Seneca Nation of
New York, Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma, and Tonawanda Band of
Seneca Indians of New York may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
