pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Lastly, officials of the University of
Colorado Museum have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot reasonably be traced between the
Native American 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
October 2009, the University of
Colorado Museum requested that the
Review Committee recommend
disposition of the culturally
unidentifiable human remains to the
Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming, based on
Arapaho aboriginal land claims and
supported by oral tradition, as well as
the support of the other Indian tribes
consulted. The Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma, signed the disposition
agreement in support of the disposition
to the Arapahoe Tribe. Furthermore,
none of the Indian tribes consulted
objected to the determination of
‘‘culturally unidentifiable’’ status by the
University of Colorado Museum and the
disposition to the Arapahoe Tribe of the
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming.
The Review Committee considered
the proposal at its October 30–31, 2009,
meeting and recommended disposition
of the human remains to the Arapahoe
Tribe of the Wind River Reservation,
Wyoming. The Secretary of Interior
agreed with the Review Committee’s
recommendation. An April 19, 2010,
letter from the Designated Federal
Officer, writing on behalf of the
Secretary of the Interior, transmitted the
authorization for the University of
Colorado Museum to effect disposition
of the physical remains of the culturally
unidentifiable individual to the
Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming, 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 Steve Lekson, Curator of
Anthropology, University of Colorado
Museum, in care of Jan Bernstein,
NAGPRA Consultant, Bernstein &
Associates, 1041 Lafayette St., Denver,
CO 80218, telephone (303) 894-0648,

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 U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Siuslaw National Forest,
Waldport, OR. The human remains were
removed from the Cape Perpetua Visitor
Center, Lincoln County, OR.
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 Siuslaw National
Forest professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and
Siuslaw Indians of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon; and
the Coquille Tribe of Oregon.
At an unknown date prior to 1988,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed near Cape Perpetua, near
Yachats, Lincoln County, OR, and given
to the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Visitor Center held the human
remains in secure storage until
transferring to the Forest Archaeologist.
No information accompanied the human
remains regarding the specific location
and conditions of discovery other than
the remains were retrieved from a
crevice in the rocky shoreline between
Cape Perpetua and Yachats.
Consultation evidence and the
ethnographic record show that this area
was part of the ancestral territory of the
Alsea Indians. At Contact, the territory
of the Alsea extended along the Oregon
coast and rivers from approximately 8
miles south of Yachats to approximately
10 miles north of Waldport. In 1855,
this land base and the Alsea people
were included within the Coast Indian
Reservation. This reservation was later
referred to as the Siletz Indian
Reservation. For approximately 10 years
during the reservation era, other tribes,
including the Coos, Lower Umpqua,
Coquille, and some Siuslaw people
whose traditional territories lay to the
south of the Alsea, were forcibly held at
the Alsea Sub-agency of the Coast
Indian Reservation, which was located
at present-day Yachats. Of these tribal
peoples, only the Alsea are known to
have primarily practiced above ground
interment at locations similar to that
identified for this individual.
Descendants of the Alsea are members
of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians of Oregon.
Officials of the Siuslaw National
Forest 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
Siuslaw National Forest 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

that date if no additional claimants
come forward.

In 1953, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from the Claypool site,
Washington County, CO, by the
University of Colorado Museum. Local
residents had been collecting artifacts in
that area for years. In January 2004, the
human remains were discovered in the
museum during an inventory. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are Native
American based on the biological
assessment and the site context. The
Claypool site appears to have been a
Cody Complex campsite. Diagnostic
artifacts found there include Eden
points, a Scottsbluff point, and a Cody
knife. Other material culture consists of
scrapers, numerous stone flakes, charred
and uncharred bone, and pieces of
grooved sandstone. The stratigraphy
indicates the artifacts are postglacial
and date from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago.
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 three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Lastly, officials of the
