These remains and other materials
were catalogued as 9248 within the
Crane Collection. The majority of the
Crane American Indian Collection was
accessioned into the collections with
the same catalogue number assigned by
the Cranes, but preceded by AC.
However, the human remains and other
material excavated from Plantation Key,
FL, were accessioned into the
archeology collection as A558 instead of
AC.9248. It appears that the human
remains were stored in a separate box
within the rest of the archeological
material from the Plantation Key
excavation. In 1998, that box was
removed from the archeology
collections and assigned catalogue
number AC.9248. The contents of the
box were sorted into two distinct
groups, the human remains and 100
associated funerary objects. Several
hundred objects from the Plantation Key
excavation remain in the archeology
collections and are still catalogued as
A558, and the museum is working in
consultation with the Miccosukee Tribe
of Indians of Florida to deaccession the
remaining portion of the Plantation Key
and DuPont Plaza materials (DMNS
catalogue number A558).
Determinations Made by the Denver
Museum of Nature & Science
Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have determined that:
• Based on non-destructive physical
analysis and catalogue records, the
human remains are Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission, the land
from which the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and
the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania,
Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood &
Tampa Reservations).
• Multiple lines of evidence,
including treaties, Acts of Congress, and
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of
Florida and the Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood & Tampa Reservations).
• Other credible lines of evidence,
obtained through consultation with
tribal representatives, indicate that the
land from which the Native American
human remains and associated funerary
VerDate Mar<15>2010

objects were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Tribes.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 106 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.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains is to
The Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains or

Museum of Nature & Science, 2001
Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80205,

Anthropology Department, Human
Remains Repository, Laramie, WY. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from within the
boundaries of the Crow Reservation,
Yellowstone County, MT.
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 University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository,
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Crow Tribe of
Montana.
In the 1930s or early 1940s, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a rock
walled burial cyst by members of the
Montana Archaeological Survey on the
Crow Reservation, Yellowstone County,
MT. The remains have been at the
University of Wyoming since the 1960s,
but possibly earlier (HR015). No known
individual was identified. The two
associated funerary objects are one
small glass trade bead and a fragment of
cloth.
Human Remains Repository notes
indicate that the burial was associated
with other burial cysts and probably
dates after the 1860s. The University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository, determined
that the human remains are Native
American based on cranial morphology
and tooth form. Based on the notes and
the burial location, officials of the
Human Remains Repository reasonably
believe that the remains represent an
individual related to the Crow Tribe of
Montana. The Crow Tribe presented
evidence that showed the burial
location is within their tribal homeland
as defined by the Treaty of Fort Laramie
(1851), Indian Claims Commission (3
Ind. Cls. Comm. 147), and U.S. Court of
Claims (284 F.2c 361 (1960)).
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and the University of Wyoming,
Anthropology Department, Human
Remains Repository, have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1962, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Catron County, NM, by
an unknown individual. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The remains of this individual are five
teeth. At least one tooth suggests the use
of teeth as tools and is consistent with
an archeological Native American diet.
The remains may have been removed
from the Gila National Forest or the Gila
Cliff Dwellings National Monument
both of which are within Catron County,
but due to lack of sufficient evidence,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service, deferred NAGPRA
compliance responsibility to the
University of Colorado Museum.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Silver
City, Grant County, NM, by an unknown
individual. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The remains of this individual are two
teeth. The morphology of one tooth and
the wear of at least one tooth are
consistent with an archeological Native
American diet. In 1901, the remains
were purchased by Jesse H. Sherman, in
Silver City, NM. In 1939, the remains
were donated to the museum by Mrs.
J.H. Sherman.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Tomas Dominquez Ranch, three quarters
of a mile north of Gila, Grant County,
NM, by Mrs. Marilyn Moore. No known
individual was identified. The three
associated funerary objects are a ceramic
bowl, a ceramic jar, and one lot of stone
flakes.
The ceramic jar contains lightly
charred/burned bones, as well as a
handful of bone dust, and the stone
flakes. The bowl was the lid for the
ceramic jar and is decorated with a
brown and white geometric design. The
remains are Mogollon based on the
associated funerary objects. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were bequeathed to the museum in
January 1974.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from 29LE1,
Lea County, NM, by an unknown
individual. No known individual was
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are one lot of shell beads, a
projectile point, and a possible pendant
made of stone or a marine-type of
material.
The remains are three teeth. The
remains are likely Native American
