have determined that the preponderance
of the evidence suggests that the historic
O’odham groups (Ak-Chin Indian
Community of the Ak-Chin Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Salt River PimaMaricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Reservation, Arizona; and the
Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona,
including the San Xavier District) have
a strong cultural affiliation with the
prehistoric Hohokam who occupied the
middle Gila Valley and surrounding
areas. Great similarities in settlement
patterns, economic systems,
architecture, and material culture point
to a close relationship between the
Hohokam and the O’odham groups. The
O’odham were well established along
the rivers and in the deserts when the
Spanish first arrived in northern Sonora
and southern Arizona.
One of the two Pima moieties claims
descend from the Hohokam, while the
other moiety is said to have descended
from the ‘‘emergers,’’ those who
overthrew the Hohokam leaders.
Although the O’odham belong to the
same linguistic group (Piman) as
communities in what is now northern
Mexico, shared vocabulary and syntax
with Yuman language groups along the
Colorado River suggests a long-term
history of interaction that stretches back
into prehistoric times in what is now
southern Arizona.
Evidence also shows the affiliation of
ancestral Zuni and Hopi groups with the
prehistoric Hohokam. Interaction is
indicated by the presence of trade items,
particularly ceramics. Such interaction
continued into protohistoric and early
historic times. In addition to trade, Hopi
and Zuni migration traditions indicate
that clans originating from areas south
of the Colorado Plateau joined the
plateau communities late in prehistoric
times. These groups contributed
ceremonies, societies, and iconography
to the plateau groups. Both O’odham
and Western Pueblo oral traditions
indicate that some Hohokam groups
may have left the Salt-Gila River Basin
after disastrous floods and social
upheaval. These groups traveled north
and east, possibly to be assimilated by
the Hopi and Zuni. These ties are
reflected in some of the traditional
ceremonies maintained as part of the
annual ceremonial cycle. Therefore, the
evidence suggests that the Hopi and
Zuni are also culturally affiliated with
the Hohokam. Their ancestors had trade
relationships and other likely
interactions with the Hohokam, similar
to those found between groups in the
early historic period. Hopi and Zuni
oral traditions indicate that segments of

the prehistoric Hohokam population
migrated to the areas occupied by the
Hopi and Zuni and were assimilated
into the resident populations.
Officials of the Bureau of Reclamation
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 40 items
described above 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 to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of Native American individuals.
Officials of the Bureau of Reclamation
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
Ak-Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak-Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt

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 possession and control of
the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI. The
human remains were removed from
Brooks Island, Contra Costa County, CA.
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 Bishop Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the the Santa Rosa
Indian Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut
Tribe).
On February 8, 1958, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Brooks
Island, in San Pablo Bay, Contra Costa
County, CA, most likely by A.C. Ziegler.
The circumstances of the removal from
Brooks Island are not known, but the
remains were included in Dr. Ziegler’s
personal collections donated to the
Bishop Museum after his death. The
remains were housed in a box labeled
‘‘Homo Sapiens (infant)/sex?/Brooks

known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were listed on
the National Park Service Culturally
Unidentified Inventory database, and
Bishop Museum received information
from the Santa Rosa Indian Community
of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
(Tachi Yokut Tribe) establishing their
cultural affiliation to the remains
through their historic and geographical
connection to the Contra Costa County
area.
Officials of the Bishop Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of
one individual of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Bishop
Museum 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 Santa Rosa Indian Community
of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
(Tachi Yokut Tribe).
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Betty Lou Kam, VicePresident, Cultural Resources, Bishop
Museum, 1525 Bernice St., Honolulu, HI
96817, telephone (808) 848–4144, before
June 3, 2010. Repatriation of the human

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the Paul H.
Karshner Memorial Museum, Puyallup,
WA. The human remains were removed
from the Aleutian Islands, AK.
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 Paul H.
Karshner Memorial Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Aleut
Corporation.
Prior to 1945, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Aleutian Islands in Alaska. On May 5,
1945, the human remains were donated
to the museum by Lee Anna (or
Lavanna) McAllister (Catalog # 1–93,
Accn. #1945–1). Museum records state
that the human remains are ‘‘one skull
from Aleutian Islands. Found at the
mouth of the Salmon River on the
shores of the Bering Sea’’. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Research into the donor has not
indicated how she may have acquired
the human remains. There is no known
‘‘Salmon River’’ that drains into the
Bering Sea, however, ‘‘Salmon Lagoon’’
was a location with significant U.S.
military presence during World War II
on Kiska Island, Aleutian Islands.
Military records were searched to locate
a McAllister who may have been
stationed on Kiska Island, but no further
information was identified. Although no
further information could be identified,
based on the known military presence
on Kiska Island at Salmon Lagoon and
the date of the donation (post-World
War II), this individual is reasonably
believed to have been collected by
military personnel.
The museum’s inventory book
identifies the human remains as being
part of the ‘‘Native American Collection’’
and being from the Aleutian Islands,
AK. The Aleutian Islands are known to
be aboriginal lands for the Aleut
Corporation. Based on museum records,
geographical location, and consultation,
the museum reasonably believes the
individual is culturally affiliated with
the Aleut Corporation.
Officials of the Paul H. Karshner
Memorial Museum have determined

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9)-(10),
the human remains described above

individual of Native American ancestry.

Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

should contact Dr. Jay Reifel, Assistant
