determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 32 cultural items 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
specific burial sites of Native American
individuals. Officials of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
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
the Tlingit, represented by Sealaska
Corporation.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Patricia Capone,
Repatriation Coordinator, Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,
Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617)

Notice is here given in accordance

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate a cultural item in the
possession of the San Diego Museum of

this notice.
The one fragmented textile (museum
No. 1963–5–1) was found in a Yokut
cemetery at the south end of Buena
Vista Lake, Kern County, CA. The textile
is contained in a frame with a note on
the back of the frame stating, ‘‘Found in
May 1935 by Edwin F. Walker in a
Yokuts cemetery 25 feet above the
shoreline of Buena Vista Lake, Kern
County, California, and 1,000 feet north
of shoreline at outlet of the lake.’’ The
textile was received at the San Diego
Museum of Man in 1963.
Museum records clearly indicate that
the textile was found in a Yokut
cemetery. Further information from the
back of the frame states, ‘‘Found...in
square F/70, burial H, Depth 45 –
disturbed burial of an adult, elderly,
flexed, head to west, fabric wrapped
around legs, no other material.’’ There
are no known associated human
remains in the museum’s collection.
The Santa Rosa Indian Community of
the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
provided the museum with territory and
language family maps, written
ethnographical information about the
Yokuts and their inter-relationships
with surrounding communities, which
covers the territory where the
unassociated funerary object was
discovered. Based on consultation, the
museum was able to determine that the
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California has a
shared group identity with the
unassociated funerary object.
Officials of the San Diego Museum of
Man have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the one cultural
item described above is 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 is believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the San Diego Museum of
Man 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 object and the
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California.
Representatives of any other Indian

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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the South Dakota
State Historical Society-Archaeological
Research Center, Rapid City, SD. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Lawrence
County, SD.
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 South Dakota
State Historical Society- Archaeological
Research Center professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cheyenne Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne
River Reservation, South Dakota;
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine
Ridge Reservation, South Dakota;
Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud
Indian Reservation, South Dakota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; and
Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.
In 2007, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were

removed from a coffin burial at the Old
Deadwood (Ingleside) Cemetery
(39LA3000/07–59) in Lawrence County,
SD, by personnel from the
Archaeological Research Center during
improvements to a retaining wall. No
known individual was identified. The
two associated funerary objects are a
coffin and a soil sample.
The manner of burial and historic
documentation suggests that the human
remains are associated with the Early
Historic Period (A.D. 1876–1878). A
physical anthropological assessment of
the human remains resulted in a
determination that the individual is
most likely Native American. An
evaluation by the South Dakota State
Historical Society-Archaeological
Research Center professional staff on the
manner and location of the burial also
supports an identification of the human
remains as Native American, and most
likely culturally identifiable as Lakota.
The Lakota are represented by the
Cheyenne Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne
River Reservation, South Dakota;
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine
Ridge Reservation, South Dakota;
Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud
Indian Reservation, South Dakota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; and
Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.
Officials of the South Dakota State
Historical Society-Archaeological
Research Center 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 South Dakota State
Historical Society-Archaeological
Research Center also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the two objects described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed

at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony. Lastly,
officials of the South Dakota State

Research Center have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

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 AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas; AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town, Oklahoma;
Kialegee Tribal Town, Oklahoma;
Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Oklahoma;
Poarch Band of Creek Indians of
Alabama; and Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town, Oklahoma.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains
were acquired by Dr. Joseph Jones of
Louisiana at an unknown date. In 1906,
the widow of Dr. Jones sold his
collection to the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation. 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.
Museum records indicate that the
human remains are from an unknown
location and are those of a Creek
individual. The attribution of a tribal
affiliation of Creek in the museum
records suggests that the remains may
date to the Historic period. No
information from the museum records,
osteological assessment, or consultation
conflicts with this interpretation. Tribal
representatives of the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas; AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town, Oklahoma;
Kialegee Tribal Town, Oklahoma;
Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Oklahoma;
Poarch Band of Creek Indians of
Alabama; and Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town, Oklahoma, support the
identification of the human remains as
Creek.
In the late 1800s or early 1900s,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from Kyle Mound, Muscogee
County, GA, by Friend W. Miller. In
1946, they were acquired by the
Museum of the American Indian, Heye
Foundation. 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.
Archeological data, including pottery
types and shell gorgets, indicate that
Kyle Mound was a Late Mississippian
mound. It was part of the Chattahoochee
subtradition of the Lamar Complex and
