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 New
York University College of Dentistry,
New York, NY. The human remains
were removed from Port Clarence, Nome
County, AK.
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 New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Native Village of
Brevig Mission and Native Village of
Teller.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unidentified site at Port Clarence, Nome
County, AK, by an unknown individual.
By 1924, the human remains were
donated to the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation by Mrs. George
Heye. In 1956, the human remains were
transferred to Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff,
New York University College of
Dentistry (NYUCD #334). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Museum of the American Indian
records list the origin of the human
remains as Port Clarence, AK, which is
located on the Seward Peninsula. The
morphology of the human remains is
consistent with Native American
ancestry. In the late 19th century,
Edward William Nelson, Smithsonian
Institution naturalist, observed burials
in the region. The human remains were
placed in wooden boxes that were
elevated onto poles. The boxes or poles
were marked with totems to which tools
or other necessary items were attached.
The boxes were exposed and highly
visible to collectors. Based on the
preservation observed in excavations on
the Seward Peninsula, it is likely that
the human remains are associated with
the Western Thule tradition, and
postdate A.D. 1000.
In the Western Thule tradition, the
people of the Seward Peninsula were
highly localized, with differences in
their lifeways based on the particular
resources available in their territory.
Localization may have occurred
alongside the development of
geopolitical boundaries. Port Clarence
was focused on whaling, and was part
of the Sinrarmiut or Port Clarence
territory of Inupiaq speakers at the time
of European contact. Today, the
descendants of the people of Port
Clarence are represented by the Native
Villages of Brevig Mission and Teller.
Both communities made seasonal use of
Port Clarence in the 20th century, and
tribal representatives have identified

Port Clarence as part of their ancestral
territory.
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 Native Village
of Brevig Mission and Native Village of
Teller.
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 Native Village of
Brevig Mission and Native Village of
Teller may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Native Village of Brevig Mission and
Native Village of Teller that this notice
has been published.

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.

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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the Field Museum
of Natural History, Chicago, IL. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from near or in
Umatilla County, OR.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American 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 Field Museum of
Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated

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.
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
by the Confederated Tribes of the
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
Natural History 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. 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
with or near individual human remains
