2011. If OMB approves this combined
request, we will discontinue OMB
Control No. 1018-0139.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1361 et seq.) imposed, with certain
exceptions, a moratorium on the taking
of marine mammals. Section
101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA directs the
Secretary of the Interior to allow, upon
request by citizens of the United States,
the taking of small numbers of marine
mammals incidental to specified
activities (other than commercial
fishing) if the Secretary makes certain
findings and prescribes specific
regulations that, among other things,
establish permissible methods of taking.
Applicants seeking to conduct
activities must request a Letter of
Authorization (LOA) for the specific
activity and submit onsite monitoring
reports and a final report of the activity
to the Secretary. This is a nonform
collection. Regulations at 50 CFR 18.27
outline the procedures and
requirements for submitting a request.
Specific regulations governing
authorized activities in the Beaufort Sea
are in 50 CFR 18, subpart J. Regulations
governing authorized activities in the
Chukchi Sea are in 50 CFR 18, subpart
I. These regulations provide the
applicant with a detailed description of
information that we need to evaluate the
proposed activity and determine
whether or not to issue specific
regulations and, subsequently, LOAs.
We use the information to verify the
finding required to issue incidental take
regulations, to decide if we should issue
an LOA, and, if issued, what conditions

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the

In 1990, Native American cultural
items were donated to the High Desert
Museum by the Roger J. Bounds
Foundation, in the form of the Doris
Swayze Bounds Collection. Between the
1950s and 1970s, Doris Bounds
collected the majority of the items
through purchases and gifts. There are
seven objects that meet the definition of
‘‘unassociated funerary objects’’ or
‘‘sacred objects.’’ The three unassociated
funerary objects are one pair of
moccasins, one single moccasin, and
one beaded necklace. The four sacred
objects are one beaded fetish lizardshaped object, one whistle with
feathered adornment, one headdress,
and one scalp lock.
Upon the initial accession of the
objects into the High Desert Museum’s
collection in 1990, a number of scholars
and Native American representatives
from Columbia Plateau, Great Basin, and
Plains tribes, identified the seven
objects as being culturally sensitive or
specific grave items of the Sioux or
Assiniboine. Since 2004, the High
Desert Museum has consulted with the
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
During consultation, the NAGPRA
representative of the Assiniboine and
Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian

Reservation, Montana, identified the
objects as being either funerary or
sacred objects, and culturally affiliated
to the tribe. The High Desert Museum’s
collection records confirm that the
objects are from the Poplar, MT, region
and culturally affiliated specifically to
the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
Officials of the High Desert Museum
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the three cultural
items described above (unassociated
funerary objects) 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 a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the High Desert Museum
also have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the four cultural
items described above (sacred objects)
are specific ceremonial objects needed
by traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents. Lastly, officials
of the High Desert Museum 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 sacred objects and
the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects and/or sacred objects should
contact Tracy Johnson, Curator of
Collections and Exhibits, High Desert
Museum, 59800 South Highway 97,
Bend, OR 97702, telephone (541) 382–
4754, before August 19, 2010.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects and sacred objects to
the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The High Desert Museum is
responsible for notifying the
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana, that
this notice has been published.

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 control of the U.S. Department of
the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Washington, DC, and in the possession
of the Wisconsin Historical Society, (aka
State Historical Society of Wisconsin),
Museum Division, Madison, WI. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from the
Menominee Reservation, Menominee
County (formerly Shawano County), WI.
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 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 Wisconsin
Historical Society, Museum Division,
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Menominee
Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
In 1928, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a mound located within
the boundaries of the Menominee
Indian Tribe Reservation, Menominee
County (formerly Shawano County), WI,
by Arthur P. Kannenberg and John V.
Satterlee. The exact location is not
known. In 1950, the museum obtained
the human remains, associated funerary
objects, and unassociated funerary
objects from the wife of Arthur P.
Kannenberg. No known individual was
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are earrings.
The human remains, associated
funerary objects, and unassociated
funerary objects removed by Arthur P.
Kannenberg and John V. Satterlee were
from at least two mounds. The 91
unassociated funerary objects are
described in a companion Notice of
Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items.

The Menominee Indian Reservation
falls within the ancestral and historic
territory of the Menominee people.
Archeological investigation has
uncovered additional historic burials in
this area. Additionally, archeological
research shows that copper ornaments
and earrings, similar to the objects
mentioned above, are commonly found
within historic Indian burials
throughout the Great Lakes region.
Furthermore, Menominee oral history
states that the origin of the Menominee
people began at the mouth of the
Menominee River, which is
approximately 60 miles from the
present-day Menominee Reservation.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and Wisconsin Historical
Society, Museum Division, 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 Bureau of
Indian Affairs and Wisconsin Historical
Society, Museum Division, also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), the three objects 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. Lastly, officials of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs and Wisconsin
Historical Society, Museum Division,
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
associated funerary objects and the
Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
Representatives of any other Indian
Tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Jennifer L. Kolb, Wisconsin
Historical Museum, 30 N. Carroll St.,
Madison, WI 53703, telephone (608)
261–2461, before August 19, 2010.
