On February 29, 2008 and June 26, 2008, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, consulted with these Indian tribes recognized as aboriginal to the area from which these Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were removed. The Secretary of the Interior may make a recommendation for the culturally unidentifiable human remains to be reinterred under State or other law. In May 2010, officials of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, requested that the Secretary, through the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee (Review Committee), recommend reinterment of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects according to State law, 43 CFR 10.11(c)(2)(ii). The request is to reinter under Tennessee state law (T.C.A. 11–6–119), which requires the reburial of Native American skeletal remains and associated funerary objects. In addition, the Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma, will lead the reburial of the removed individuals and associated funerary objects on the Fewkes site property in a location selected by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, and approved by the City of Brentwood, Williamson County, TN. The Chickasaw Nation has performed previous reburials of Mississippian period human remains and associated burial objects from middle Tennessee. Finally, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, has provided proof that consultation has occurred with all Indian tribes from whose aboriginal lands the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were removed, and that none have objected to the reinterment. On June 11, 2010, the Review Committee considered the proposal for reinterment and concurred with the proposal. The Secretary of the Interior considered the Review Committee’s recommendation in favor of the proposal and independently concurred with it. A June 16, 2010, letter from the Designated Federal Officer, writing on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior, transmitted the authorization for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, to reinter the culturally VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:41 Aug 02, 2010 Jkt 220001 unidentifiable individuals under Tennessee state law (T.C.A 11–6–119), contingent on the publication of a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register. This notice fulfills that requirement. In the same letter, the Secretary of the Interior recommended the reinterment of the associated funerary objects to the extent allowed by Federal, state, or local law. Officials of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of 21 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 17 objects described above were placed with the individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, have received a recommendation by the Secretary of the Interior, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(2)(ii), that the human remains and associated funerary objects can be reinterred according to Tennessee state law (T.C.A 11–6–119). Representatives of any Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects or any other Indian tribe that believes it satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1) should contact Michael C. Moore, Tennessee Division of Archaeology, 1216 Foster Ave., Cole Bldg ι3, Nashville, TN 37243, telephone (615) 741–1588, before September 2, 2010. The human remains and associated funerary objects may be reinterred after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Archaeology, is responsible for notifying the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma; Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma; Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina; Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek Indians, Alabama; Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma; Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; Shawnee Tribe, Oklahoma; Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma; and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, Oklahoma, that this notice has been published.
