III component, based on the description
of the collecting trip in a 1932 letter
from Schenck to the Colorado Historical
Society Curator George Woodbury, the
remains of these two individuals were
collected from the cave’s ground
surface, and not excavated from
subsurface deposits. Osteological
analysis indicates that the human
remains are Native American and show
signs of weathering consistent with
prolonged surface exposure.
In 1903, human remains representing
a minimum of five individuals were
removed from ‘‘Sentinel Ruin,’’ in
Canyon de Chelly, AZ, by Charles M.
Schenck while on a ‘‘tour’’ of Canyon de
Chelly led by Charles L. Day. The
individuals were donated to the
Colorado Historical Society sometime
between 1903 and 1932 (catalog
numbers UHR.2.A, and UHR.2.B/
UHR.108/UHR.122). UHR.2.A
represents two individuals and
UHR.2.B/UHR.108/UHR.122 represents
three individuals. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
‘‘Sentinel Ruin’’ is a documented
multi-component site with prehistoric
occupations from Basketmaker II to
Pueblo III, and an historic Navajo
occupation in the 1700s and 1800s. The
surface component is the historic
Navajo component. Schenck collected
only from the surface. Archeological
documentation after Schenck’s visit
indicates ‘‘Sentinel Ruin’’ was
undisturbed. Osteological analysis
identified the remains as Native
American, and two individuals show
signs of weathering consistent with
prolonged surface exposure.
Officials of the Colorado Historical
Society have determined, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(9), that the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of seven individuals of Native
American ancestry. Lastly, officials of
the Colorado Historical Society have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), that there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and the
Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico &
Utah.
Representatives of any other Indian
Tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Bridget Ambler, Curator
of Material Culture, Colorado Historical
Society, 1560 Broadway, Suite 400,
Denver, CO 80202, telephone (303) 866–
2303, before June 13, 2011. Repatriation
of the human remains to the Navajo
Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.

Notice.

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
University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology,
Philadelphia, PA. The human remains
were removed from St. Mary Parish
(formerly Attkapas County), LA.
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.

consultation with representatives of the
Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana.
Sometime between 1815 and 1833,
human remains representing a
minimum of two individuals were
removed by Agricole Fuselier (b.1765–
d.1839) from a cemetery near his family
estate near Jeanerette, St. Mary Parish,
LA. Mr. Fuselier ‘‘procured the skulls’’
for Dr. Justus Le Beau, who
subsequently sent them to Dr. Samuel
Morton through Joseph Barabino, prior
to April 1833 (Barabino, Letter to
Morton, 1834 January 17, ANSP
Archives). At this time, the Academy of
Natural Sciences in Philadelphia
provided storage space for much of Dr.
Morton’s collection, including the
human remains, until his death in 1851.
In 1853, the collection was purchased
from Dr. Morton’s estate and formally
presented to the Academy. In 1966, Dr.
Morton’s collection, including these
human remains (L–606–0043 and L–
606–0070), was loaned to the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology. In
1997, the collection was formally gifted
to the museum. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Extensive historical documentation,
original correspondence, museum
records, and Crania Americana (Morton,
1839), identify both sets of human
remains as Chitimacha. The human
remains exhibit cranial modification.
One cranium was either smoked or
burned prior to burial, practices which
are consistent with the Chitimacha
culture, according to the
anthropological literature. The remains
were collected from a region where the
western Chitimacha lived in at least two
permanent villages at the time of the
first documented encounter between
French explorers and the Chitimacha in
1699, and where the Chitimacha
Reservation was put into trust in 1919.
Representatives from the Chitimacha
Tribe of Louisiana indicate that they are
familiar with the burial site and are the
descendants of the group identified in
the historical documents.
Officials of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Lastly, officials of the

consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
In 1961, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from sites 45GR111 and
45GR121, Grant County, WA. The
burials were excavated from three cairn
marked talus burials in the Lower Grand
Coulee/Sun Lakes region. The work was
done in conjunction with an
archeological survey of the region
directed by Richard Daugherty of
Washington State University. No known
individuals were identified. The 22
associated funerary objects are 3 lots of
basketry fragments, 2 lots of mammal
remains, 2 lots of wood fragments, 2 lots
of snail shells, 1 lot of bark fragments,
8 lots of bag residue, 2 lots of shell
beads, 1 digging stick handle, and 1
stone scraper.
The manner of internment and the
character of the associated funerary
objects are distinctive for Native
American burials of the late prehistoric
through historic periods on the
Columbia Plateau. The site is within the
judicially established aboriginal
territory of the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Tribal oral tradition and anthropological
and historical research indicate the sites
are within an area occupied by the
Moses Columbia, who are legally
represented by the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University have determined, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the human
remains described above represent the
physical remains of three individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of
the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University also have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), that the 22 objects (20 lots
and 2 individual 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
Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), that there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
