Officials of Pecos 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 153 individuals of
Native American ancestry. Because the
biological evidence is inconclusive for
most of the individuals, the
determination is based on multiple lines
of evidence, including physical
anthropology, provenience of the
remains, history of the site, tribal
consultation, and oral history. Lastly,
officials of Pecos National Historical
Park have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a relationship of
shared group identity cannot reasonably

human remains and any present-day
Indian tribe.
The Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee (Review Committee) is
responsible for recommending specific
actions for disposition of culturally
unidentifiable human remains. In
January 2009, Pecos National Historical
Park requested that the Review
Committee recommend disposition of
the 153 culturally unidentifiable human
remains to the Pueblo of Jemez, New
Mexico, because the human remains
were found within the tribe’s aboriginal
and historical territory. The Review
Committee considered the proposal at
its May 23 – 24, 2009 meeting, and
recommended disposition of the human
remains to the Pueblo of Jemez, New
Mexico.
A September 16, 2009, letter from the
Designated Federal Officer, writing on
behalf of the Secretary of the Interior,
transmitted the authorization for the
park to effect disposition of the physical
remains of the culturally unidentifiable
individuals to the Pueblo of Jemez, New
Mexico, contingent on the publication
of a Notice of Inventory Completion in
the Federal Register. This notice fulfills
that requirement.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Kathy Billings,
superintendent, Pecos National
Historical Park, PO Box 418, Pecos, NM
87552, telephone (505) 757–7201, before
December 14, 2009. Disposition of the
human remains to the Pueblo of Jemez,
New Mexico may proceed after that date
if no additional claimants come
forward.
