be completed to gain information on a
variety of species from reptiles and
amphibians to game animals, as well as
species of concern. Several cooperative
projects will be conducted with
universities, the Louisiana Department
of Wildlife and Fisheries, and other
agencies and individuals to provide
biological information to be used in
management decisions. To determine
how forest management is affecting
wildlife, partnerships will be developed
to establish scientifically valid protocols
and to collaboratively work on research
projects. Upland forest management will
focus on restoring the biological
integrity of a mixed hardwood/pine
forest by promoting upland hardwood
species. We will increase our
management of bottomlands to open
canopy cover and increase understory
vegetation. Water control structures and
pumping capabilities will be improved
to enhance moist-soil management for
the benefit of wintering waterfowl and
shorebirds. Invasive species will be
mapped and protocols for control
established. Partnerships will continue
to be fostered for several biological
programs, hunting regulations, law
enforcement issues, and research
projects.
Public use will be similar to current
management, with a few improvements
based on additional resources.
Environmental education will increase
from the current conditions only
slightly. The program will be enhanced
and improved with the addition of two
park rangers (visitor services and law
enforcement). Within 3 years of the date
of the CCP, we will develop a Visitor
Services Plan to be used in maintaining
quality public use facilities and
opportunities at Black Bayou Lake
NWR.
Staffing will increase by four
positions: A full-time law enforcement
officer, a refuge operations specialist, a
maintenance worker, and a park ranger
(Visitor Services). This will enable us to
increase biological inventorying and
monitoring, enhance forest
management, increase invasives control,
enhance the public use program, and
provide safe and compatible wildlifedependent recreation.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural
Items: Memphis Pink Palace Museum,
Memphis, TN
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the Memphis Pink Palace
Museum, Memphis, TN, that meet the
definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The 92 unassociated funerary objects
are whole and restored ceramic vessels
from the Bradley site (3CT7), Crittenden
County, AR. The collection was
acquired as a donation from a private
individual in 1958.
The Bradley site was a village or town
of the late Mississippian and protohistoric periods, located in Crittenden
County, northeast Arkansas.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the site was occupied during the
Nodena phase (A.D. 1350–1650).
Funerary objects removed from the site
have been dated to the period from A.D.
1350–1650. The Bradley site is thought
to be the capital of ‘‘Pacaha’’ identified
in the DeSoto chronicles. Historical
documentation indicates that this site
dates into the 17th century and close to
the time when the Quapaw Tribe was
documented by early Europeans.
Linguistic evidence indicates a possible
link between ‘‘Capaha’’ (a.k.a. Pacaha) in
a Spanish account, and a late 17th
century Quapaw Indian village name
‘‘Kappah’’ or ‘‘Kappa.’’ French maps and
documents (A.D. 1673–1720), indicate
that only the Quapaw had villages in
this area of eastern Arkansas. Oral
traditional evidence indicates that the
Quapaw had a continuous presence in
the area, including hunting lands, and
that burial practices such as placement
of food with the dead continues to be an
important burial ritual.
Archeological, historical and
ethnographic sources indicate that the
type of pottery found at the Bradley site
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
was produced by the Quapaw (Morse
1992). Descendants of the Quapaw are
members of the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma. Finally, the Quapaw
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma, through the
NAGPRA process, have previously been
determined to be culturally affiliated
with the Bradley site and have
repatriated Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
from the site.
Officials of the Memphis Pink Palace
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 92
cultural items described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of the Memphis
Pink Palace Museum 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 unassociated
funerary objects and the Quapaw Tribe
of Indians, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Louella Weaver,
Memphis Pink Palace Museum, 3050
Central Ave., Memphis, TN 38111,
telephone (901) 320–6322, before
September 24, 2010. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects to the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Memphis Pink Palace Museum is
responsible for notifying the Quapaw
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma, that this
notice has been published.

At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from near
Hiko, Lincoln County, NV, by Richard
Brooks during an archeological
excavation project (AHUR 141).
According to the notes associated with
the human remains, a wooden pipe was
recovered with the remains, though the
whereabouts of the pipe is unknown. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human
remains are that of a pre-contact or early
historic Native American adult male. No
other information is available regarding
the circumstances surrounding their
removal.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were collected near the
Carson River, six miles southwest of
Fallon, Churchill, NV, by two men who
were out rabbit hunting (FHUR 39).
Records indicate that human remains
were found partially buried in a sand
hill. The find was reported to the
Churchill County sheriff, who collected
the remains and transferred them to the
University of Nevada Las Vegas. No
known individual was identified. The
six associated funerary objects are one
woven textile, one leather strip, nail,
two 4–hole buttons and one bag of dirt
containing fiber material.
Analysis determined that the human
remains are that of a Native American
male between 30 and 40 years of age.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from near Ely,
White Pine County, NV (FHUR 41). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human
remains are that of a pre-contact or early
historic Native American adult male. No
other information is available regarding
the circumstances surrounding their
removal, but records indicate they were
transferred to the University of Nevada
Las Vegas in 1988.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing an adult male were
collected from near Warm Springs, Nye
County, NV (FHUR 42). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.

On May 13, 1978, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from a gravel
pit located, approximately one mile
northeast of Wadsworth, Washoe
County, NV (FHUR 57). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human
remains are that of a pre-contact or early
historic Native American adult male. No
other information is available regarding
the circumstances surrounding their
removal.
On April 28, 1991, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from a soil
embankment northeast of State Route
466 near Nixon, Washoe County, NV
(FHUR 59). The remains were found by
a Paula Wright and Kenneth Paul, who
reported it o the Washoe County
Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Indian
Affairs, and the Pyramid Lake Paiute
Rangers. The remains were
subsequently collected, examined by the
county coroner, and transferred to the
University of Nevada Las Vegas. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human
remains are that of a pre-contact or early
historic Native American adult male.
Archeological, linguistic, and oral
historical evidence suggests that the
geographical area where the abovementioned human remains were found
was occupied by Western Shoshone and
Paiute groups during pre-contact and
early historic times. Therefore, museum
officials reasonably believe the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to be culturally affiliated to Western
Shoshone and Paiute Indian tribes.

Prior to 1972, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed near the
Walls site (22DS500), DeSoto County,
MS, during amateur excavations. The
human remains were donated to the
museum in 1972 (Accn. #1972.28.1–5).
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are

In the 1930s, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from the
Bishop site (40TP10), also called ‘‘Big
Hatchie Mound,’’ Tipton County, TN, by
Elbert L. Roper, an avocational
archeologist. Mr. Roper excavated
Hatchie River bottoms in Lauderdale
and Tipton Counties. Dr. Robert
Mainfort of the Arkansas Archaeological
Survey stated, ‘‘Roper referred to the
Hatchie River bottoms in Lauderdale
and Tipton counties as the ‘Big Hatchie
Country’ and I think that ‘mound’ just
got added on. Certainly the bulk of his
stuff is from Morgan’s Point/Bishop
(40TP10).’’ The human remains were
loaned to the museum in 1939, and the
loan was converted to a gift in 1969
(Accn. #1969.17.4–7). No known

and Colony, Nevada; and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid Lake
Reservation, Nevada.
At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from near Hiko, Lincoln County, NV, by Richard
Brooks during an archeological excavation project (AHUR 141). According
to the notes associated with the human remains, a wooden pipe was

unknown. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human remains are that of a pre-
contact or early historic Native American adult male. No other
information is available regarding the circumstances surrounding their
removal.
At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were collected near the Carson River, six miles southwest of
Fallon, Churchill, NV, by two men who were out rabbit hunting (FHUR
39). Records indicate that human remains were found partially buried in
a sand hill. The find was reported to the Churchill County sheriff, who
collected the remains and transferred them to the University of Nevada
Las Vegas. No known individual was identified. The six associated
funerary objects are one woven textile, one leather strip, nail, two 4-
hole buttons and one bag of dirt containing fiber material.
Analysis determined that the human remains are that of a Native
American male between 30 and 40 years of age.
At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from near Ely, White Pine County, NV (FHUR
41). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects
are present.
Analysis determined that the human remains are that of a pre-
contact or early historic Native American adult male. No other
information is available regarding the circumstances surrounding their
removal, but records indicate they were transferred to the University
of Nevada Las Vegas in 1988.
At an unknown date, human remains representing an adult male were
collected from near Warm Springs, Nye County, NV (FHUR 42). No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.

On May 13, 1978, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from a gravel pit located, approximately one
mile northeast of Wadsworth, Washoe County, NV (FHUR 57). No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.

On April 28, 1991, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were collected from a soil embankment northeast of State
Route 466 near Nixon, Washoe County, NV (FHUR 59). The remains were
found by a Paula Wright and Kenneth Paul, who reported it o the Washoe
County Sheriff's Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Pyramid Lake
Paiute Rangers. The remains were subsequently collected, examined by
the county coroner, and transferred to the University of Nevada Las
Vegas. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Analysis determined that the human remains are that of a pre-
contact or early historic Native American adult male.
Archeological, linguistic, and oral historical evidence suggests
that the geographical area where the above-mentioned human remains were
found was occupied by Western Shoshone and Paiute groups during pre-
contact and early historic times. Therefore, museum officials
reasonably believe the human remains and associated funerary objects to
be culturally affiliated to Western Shoshone and Paiute Indian tribes.
