provide wilderness stewardship
principles. Since numerous uses occur
adjacent to these refuges, we would
work with the partners to minimize the
impacts to resources of the refuges from
these adjacent activities (e.g., impacts
from disturbance and from abandoned
monofilament fishing line, cast nets,
and crab traps on rare, threatened, and
endangered species) and to improve the
ethical outdoor behavior of area users.
We would incorporate messages that
focus on rare, threatened, and
endangered species, the role and
importance of these refuges in the
landscape, and the importance of
minimizing the impacts of human
activities into on-site (at the ‘‘Ding’’
Darling Education Center) and off-site
curriculum-based environmental
education programs, as well as into
interpretive and outreach materials
developed for all refuges in the
Complex. We would train volunteers,
teachers, and staff to conduct
educational and interpretive programs;
increase outreach efforts and activities
to the local communities; and work with
partners to develop an annual satellite
refuge event in one of the local
communities.
Alternative D would create five staff
positions specific to these refuges:
Biological science technician, law
enforcement officer, wildlife refuge
specialist (assistant refuge manager),
hydrologist, and park ranger
(Environmental Education). The lead
biologist at the J.N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling NWR
would continue to design and oversee
the biological program and activities at
the satellite refuges. We would work
with the partners to evaluate and install
interpretive signage at partner sites. We
would expand existing partnerships and
develop new partnerships. A key refuge
administration activity would be to
work to improve the visibility and
image of the Service in communities
around these refuges to build support
for refuge management, including
through the development of an annual
event in one of the local communities to
highlight the satellite refuges.

AGENCY:
Bureau of Land Management
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
University of Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO. The human remains were
removed from Meagher County, MT.
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 University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation of Montana; Crow Tribe of
Montana; Fort Belknap Indian
Community of the Fort Belknap
Reservation of Montana; and Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota.
Possibly in 1905, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from
Musselshell River, Meagher County,
MT, possibly by Ralph Hubbard. One of
the individuals appears to have
sustained three gun-shot wounds. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Previously, human remains
representing seven individuals from
Meagher County, MT, were identified in
the museum’s Culturally Unidentifiable
Human Remains Inventory (dated May
16, 1996). After consultation, human
remains representing five individuals
with two associated funerary objects
from ‘‘in a butte (‘‘Sentinal [sic] Rock’’),
Meagher County, MT,’’ were determined

to be culturally affiliated with the
Blackfeet Tribe, Crow Tribe, Fort
Belknap Indian Community, and Three
Affiliated Tribes (73 FR 8359–8360,
February 13, 2008), and subsequently
repatriated to the Blackfeet Tribe. The
museum believed at that time that it had
accounted for all of the human remains
from Montana, and that the number of
individuals listed in the Culturally
Unidentifiable Human Remains
Inventory was an error. However, on
June 16, 2009, human remains
representing two individuals from
‘‘Musselshell R., Montana’’ were found
in the museum. This now accounts for
all seven individuals originally listed in
the inventory.
Based on biological evidence, the
human remains are probably Native
American. Based on geographic
evidence, including Indian Land Claims
Commission decisions and oral
tradition, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Blackfeet,
Crow, Gros Ventre, or Assiniboine. The
Gros Ventre and the Assiniboine are
Federally-recognized as the Fort
Belknap Indian Community of the Fort
Belknap Reservation of Montana. The
Fort Belknap Indian Community of the
Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana
confirmed that the Gros Ventre and
Assiniboine ranged through the
Meagher County area mainly in the form
of hunting and war parties. Based on
oral tradition Crow Nations migrated
through this area seasonally.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the University of
Colorado 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 Blackfeet Tribe of the
Blackfeet Indian Reservation of
Montana, Crow Tribe of Montana, and
Fort Belknap Indian Community of the
Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Steve Lekson, Curator of
Anthropology, University of Colorado
Museum, Henderson Building, Campus
Box 218, Boulder, CO 80309–0218,
telephone (303) 492–6671, before June
21, 2010. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Blackfeet Tribe of the

Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana,

may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The University of Colorado Museum
is responsible for notifying the Blackfeet
Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation of Montana; Crow Tribe of
Montana; Fort Belknap Indian
Community of the Fort Belknap
Reservation of Montana; and Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota that this
notice has been published.

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 of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University,
Cambridge, MA. The human remains
were removed from Iosco County, MI.
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 Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Grand Traverse
Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,
Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay
Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan;
Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma; and Saginaw
Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan.
In 1856, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the western shore of
Tawas Point, in Iosco County, MI, by
Henry Gillman. They were donated to
the Peabody Museum of Archaeology
and Ethnology by Mr. Gillman in 1869.

No known individual was identified.
Mr. Gillman described finding a copper
vessel and other ‘‘small articles’’ with
the human remains. However, these
items were not accessioned into the
museum’s collection and their
disposition is unknown. Therefore, no
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation indicates
that this individual was recovered from
a burial mound. Contextual information
suggests that this individual is most
likely Native American. This interment
likely dates to the Historic period due
to the presence of a copper vessel.
Information from manuscript maps of
Douglass Houghton, the first Geologist
for the State of Michigan, indicates that
there was a village near the mouth of the
Tawas River in 1838. He describes the
village as that of Outawanse.
Consultation with the Saginaw
Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan
indicates that Outawanse was a chief of
the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe during the
19th century. The Tawas River flows
into the western shore of Tawas Bay,
directly across the water from Tawas
Point, where these remains were
recovered. Given the presence of the
Saginaw Chippewa village in the
specific area of the burial during the
Historic period, it is likely that the
human remains are ancestral Saginaw
Chippewa. The present-day group that
represents the Saginaw Chippewa
people is the Saginaw Chippewa Indian
Tribe of Michigan.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology 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 Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
have also determined that, pursuant to

of shared group identity that can be

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of

Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Patricia Capone,
Repatriation Coordinator, Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,
Harvard University, 11 Divinity Ave.,
Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617)
496–3702, before June 21, 2010.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
