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 New York
University College of Dentistry, New
York, NY. The human remains were
removed from an unknown location or
locations.
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 Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from an
unknown location or locations. At an
unknown date, Dr. Joseph Jones of
Louisiana added the human remains to
his collection. In 1906, the widow of Dr.
Jones sold his collection 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 individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The original records of Dr. Jones
identify the human remains as
Comanche, but do not list a locality for
them. Museum records also identify the
human remains as ‘‘Comanche.’’ The
attribution of a tribal affiliation of
Comanche in the museum records
suggests that the human remains may
date to the historic period. Forensic data
corroborate the tribal attribution and

estimated age for the individuals. One
cranium has cutmarks that appear to
have been made near the time of death
by a metal knife. The other cranium
shows evidence of cradleboarding,
which was practiced by the Comanche
in the historic period. Both sets of
remains exhibit weathering that would
be expected for the rock or scaffold
burial locations that were preferred by
the Comanche during the historic
period. During consultation, the tribal
representative for the Comanche Nation
supported the identification of the
human remains as Comanche.
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 two
individuals 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
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma.
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 23, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma, that this
notice has been published.
