Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 24, 2010 / Notices
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 New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Miccosukee Tribe
of Indians of Florida, Seminole Nation
of Oklahoma, and Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations).
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains
were acquired by Dr. Joseph Jones of
Louisiana at an unknown date. In 1906,
the widow of Dr. Jones sold his
collection to the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation. In
1956, the Museum of the American
Indian transferred the human remains to
Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum records indicate that the
human remains are from an unknown
location, and are the human remains of
a Seminole individual whose last name
was Tigertail. This name is a known
surname among the Seminole. The
identification of a surname and tribal
affiliation indicates that the human
remains date to post-Contact times.
Although a surname is listed for the
individual, lineal descendants could not
be identified because the full name of
the individual could not be determined.
Despite the inability to determine lineal
descendants, no information from the
museum records, osteological
assessment, or consultation conflicts
with the identification of the human
remains as ‘‘Seminole.’’ During
consultations, tribal representatives
supported the identification of the
human remains as Seminole. Today,
descendants of the Seminole are
members of the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians of Florida, Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma, and Seminole Tribe of
Florida.
Officials of New York University
College of Dentistry 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 New York University
College of Dentistry 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 Miccosukee
Tribe of Indians of Florida, Seminole

Nation of Oklahoma, and Seminole
Tribe of Florida.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St., New York, NY 10010,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before
September 23, 2010. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Miccosukee Tribe
of Indians of Florida, Seminole Nation
of Oklahoma, and Seminole Tribe of
Florida, may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida,
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and
Seminole Tribe of Florida, that this
notice has been published.

Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the

Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally

On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an island
on the Columbia River, 10 miles south
of Umatilla, near or in Umatilla County,
OR. In 1896, the Field Museum of
Natural History purchased these human
remains from Joseph V. Tallman of
Pendleton, OR (Field Museum of
Natural History accession number 275,
catalog number 40662). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1901, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from a location along the banks
of the Columbia River, near Umatilla,
near or in Umatilla County, OR, by Dr.
Merton Miller for the Field Museum of
Natural History (Field Museum of
Natural History accession number 781,
catalog number 40997). No known
individual was identified. The five
associated funerary objects are one chert
scraper, one stone tool or blade, and
three bone awls.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American, based on
the specific cultural and geographic
attribution in Field Museum of Natural
History records. Scholarly publications
and consultation information provided

Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-federally recognized Indian group,
indicate that the areas where the human
remains and associated funerary objects
were found are located within the
traditional lands of the Umatilla,
Cayuse, and the Walla Walla. These
groups have been located there since the
late Prehistoric Period, and each are
represented today by the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation.
Officials of the Field Museum of

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Field Museum
of Natural History also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the five objects described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed

that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains

remains in the possession of the Thomas

remains were removed from the vicinity
of Salem, Marion County, OR.

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 Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon and the
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon.
At an unknown date prior to 1930,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from the vicinity of Salem, in
Marion County, OR. These human
remains were acquired by the Burke
Museum through an exchange in 1930
(Burke Museum Accn. #2391). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are determined to
be consistent with Native American
morphology, as evidenced through
cranial deformation and presence of
wormian bones. Information available in
the original accession files helped affirm
the determination.
Historical documentation indicates
that the Willamette Valley area
surrounding Salem, OR, was occupied
by the Kalapuyan speaking people
(Ruby and Brown 1986, Swanton 1952,
and Zenk 1990). The Northern
subdivision, the Yamhill, and the
Central subdivision, the Sanitiam, were
the primary aboriginal occupants in the
vicinity of Salem. By the terms of the
Kalapuya Treaty of 1855, the Kalapuyan
people were moved to the Grand Ronde
Reservation (Ruby and Brown 1986).
Descendents of the Kalapuyan speaking
people are now represented by the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon.
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon include at
least 26 tribes and bands whose
ancestral homelands span across
western Oregon, southwestern
Washington, and northern California.
The Grand Ronde tribes and bands
include the Rogue River, Umpqua,
Chasta, Kalapuya, Molala, Clackamas,
Salmon River, Tillamook, and Nestucca,
as well as many other groups. At the
time of contact, the various tribal groups
spoke approximately 30 dialects of the
Athabascan, Chinookan, Kalapuyan,
Takelman, Molalan, Sahaptin, Salishan,
and Shastan language families. In 1855,
the U.S. Government forcibly relocated
the Grand Ronde peoples to the Grand
Ronde Reservation at the headwaters of

the South Yamhill River in Yamhill and
Polk Counties, OR.
Officials of the Burke 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 Burke Museum
also have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship
of shared group identity that can be
