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 and control of the
Utah Museum of Natural History, Salt
Lake City, UT. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from Millard and Washington
Counties, UT.
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 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 the Utah Museum
of Natural History professional staff and
a report sent to representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Goshute
Reservation, Nevada and Utah;
Northwestern Band of Shoshoni Nation
of Utah (Washakie); Paiute Indian Tribe
of Utah (Cedar Band of Paiutes, Kanosh
Band of Paiutes, Koosharem Band of

Paiutes, Indian Peaks Band of Paiutes,
and Shivwits Band of Paiutes); Skull
Valley Band of Goshute Indians of Utah;
and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah, on January
15, 2010, and consultation with the
Confederated Tribes of the Goshute
Reservation, Nevada and Utah, and
Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, followed.
Before 1931, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from a cave
in Millard County, UT, by a private
collector. In 1931, the human remains
and associated funerary objects were
donated to the University of Utah. On
November 10, 1972, transfer of the
University anthropology collections to
the Utah Museum of Natural History
occurred. It is unknown if the
individuals were found together or in
separate areas of the cave. No known
individuals were identified. Originally,
leather fragments were collected, but are
currently missing. The remaining three
associated funerary objects are one steel
knife and two fragments of unworked
faunal bone.
The associated funerary objects found
with the interments indicate that the
human remains are from the contact
period. The result of an osteological
analysis indicates that the individuals
are Native American and likely of
Numic descent. Based on the
geographical location of the burials, it
has been determined descendants of
these individuals are members of the
Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe
of Utah, who inhabited this area during
the protohistoric and contact periods.
Between 1990 and 1995, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were discovered on private
property in Panguitch, Washington
County, UT. The human remains were
taken to the Panguitch Sheriff’s
department, and then to the Anasazi
State Park. In 1997, the human remains
were transferred to the Utah Museum of
Natural History and accessioned into
the collections. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The result of an osteological analysis
indicates that the individual is Native
American and likely of Numic descent.
Based on the geographical location of
the burial, it has been determined that
the individual was likely a member of
the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, who
inhabited this area during the
protohistoric and contact periods. The
Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe
of Utah is taking responsibility for the
repatriation of this individual.
In 1932, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Black Rock Butte, Millard

County, UT, by a private collector. In
1932, the human remains were loaned
to the University of Utah. On November
10, 1972, transfer of the University
anthropology collections to the Utah
Museum of Natural History occurred. In
1992, the loan was converted to
ownership by the museum under Utah
law. No known individual was
identified. The burial goods claimed to
have been found with the remains were
not located in 2009. It is unknown if the
objects were ever in the possession of
the University of Utah. Therefore, no
associated funerary objects are present.
The result of an osteological analysis
indicates that the individual is Native
American and likely of Numic descent.
Based on the geographical location of
the burial, it has been determined that
the individual was likely a member of
the Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian
Tribe of Utah, who inhabited this area
during the protohistoric and contact
periods.
Officials of the Utah 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 eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Utah Museum
of Natural History also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the three objects 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. Lastly,
officials of the Utah Museum of Natural
History 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 associated funerary objects and the
Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe
of Utah.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Duncan Metcalfe, Utah Museum
of Natural History, 1390 E. Presidents
Circle, Salt Lake City, UT 84112,
telephone (801) 581–3876, before
October 20, 2010. Repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Kanosh Band of the Paiute

that date if no additional claimants
come forward.

unknown locations possibly by B.F.
Jackson. Jackson later donated them to
the Pioneer Historical Society of Bent

known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are more likely
than not Native American based on

identity cannot reasonably be traced
between the Native American human
remains and any present-day Indian
tribe.

unidentifiable human remains. In
October 2009, the Pioneer Historical
Society of Bent County requested that
the Review Committee recommend
disposition of four culturally
unidentifiable human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma. The Arapahoe Tribe of the
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming;
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Forest
County Potawatomi Community,

New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; and
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the
Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado,
wrote letters in support of the
disposition to the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma. The Ute
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico &
Utah, testified in support of the
disposition to the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma, before the
Review Committee during the May 15–
16, 2008, meeting. Furthermore, none of
the Indian tribes consulted objected to
the determination of the ‘‘culturally
unidentifiable’’ status by the Pioneer
Historical Society of Bent County and
the disposition to the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma.
The Review Committee considered
the proposal at its October 30–31, 2009,
meeting and recommended the
disposition of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma. The Secretary of the Interior
independently reviewed the
recommendation. A June 3, 2010, letter
from the Designated Federal Officer,
writing on behalf of the Secretary of the
Interior, transmitted the authorization
for the Pioneer Historical Society of
Bent County to effect disposition of the
physical remains of two of the culturally
unidentifiable individuals to the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma, contingent on the
publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Kathryn Finau, Project
Coordinator, Pioneer Historical Society
of Bent County, PO Box 68, Las Animas,
