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 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.
