Between the 1930s and 1940s, human
remains representing a minimum of 78
individuals were removed from the
Guisewa site (LA 679), Sandoval
County, NM, during excavations by
University of New Mexico field schools.
The human remains were accessioned

No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are

Between the 1930s and 1940s, human
remains representing a minimum of 65
individuals were removed from the
Nonishagi site (LA 541), Sandoval
County, NM, during excavations by
University of New Mexico field schools.
The human remains were accessioned
by the museum between 1973 and 1975.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
At unknown dates, human remains
representing a minimum of 84
individuals were removed from various
sites located in the area of ‘‘Jemez.’’ No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are identified as
ancestral Jemez because they came from
Puebloan sites of the upper Jemez River
drainage. Populations that inhabited
these sites are linked by Native oral
tradition, Euro-American records, and
archeological evidence to members of
the present-day Pueblo of Jemez, New
Mexico.
Determinations Made by the Maxwell
Museum of Anthropology, University of
New Mexico
Officials of the Maxwell Museum of
Anthropology, University of New
Mexico have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of at
least 416 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• 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 Pueblo of Jemez, New
Mexico.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by The University of
Maine, Hudson Museum professional
staff and a forensic anthropologist in
consultation with representatives of the
Gila River Indian Community of the Gila
River Indian Reservation, Arizona (on
behalf of themselves and the Ak Chin
Indian Community of the Maricopa
(Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona;
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona); and the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona. The Zuni Tribe
of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico,
was also contacted, but did not consult
on the human remains described in this
notice.
History and description of the remains
Sometime during 1929 to 1937,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from the grounds of the VahKi-Inn, Coolidge, Pinal County, AZ.
Subsequently, the human remains came
into the possession of Mr. Walter C.
Smith who built and owned the inn
from 1929 to 1940. In 1937, Mr. and
Mrs. William C. Wells of Orono, ME,
acquired the human remains from
Mr. Smith. Sometime before 1994, Mr.
and Mrs. Wells donated the human
remains to the museum (HM1291.1). No
known individual was identified. The
one associated funerary object is a
ceramic burial vessel (HM1291.2).
The human remains are a cremation.
Burial practices, the associated funerary
object, and geographical location,
support a Hohokam cultural
determination. This burial has been
identified as being associated with the
Hohokam Casa Grande Ruins Complex
and is Preclassic (A.D. 800–1100).
A relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the Hohokam culture, which
dates from about A.D. 300 to A.D. 1450,
and the Ak Chin Indian Community of
the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Salt River Pima-

Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Reservation, Arizona; and Tohono
O’odham Nation of Arizona. These four
Indian tribes are one cultural group
known as the O’odham
(anthropologically known as the Pima
and Papago). The Pee Posh
(anthropologically known as the
Maricopa) are a separate and distinct
culture that is present in two of the four
tribes. The four tribes are separated by
political boundaries designated through
the adoption/assignment of reservations
by the Federal Government, and not by
any cultural differences. The O’odham
people commonly refer to ancestors as
‘‘the Huhugam.’’ The term ‘‘Huhugam’’
refers to all of the ancestors from the
first of the O’odham people to walk the
earth to those who have perished during
modern times. The term ‘‘Hohokam’’ is
an English adaptation of the word
Huhugam, and has become known in
the larger society as an archeological
culture. The term Huhugam is often
mistaken for the word Hohokam,
although the terms do not have the same
meaning and are not interchangeable.
The four Federally-recognized O’odham
Indian tribes claim cultural affiliation to
the Hohokam archeological cultures, as
well as to all others present in their
aboriginal claims area during the
prehistory of what is now known as
Arizona and Mexico. These affiliations
include several other archeological
cultures, including but not limited to:
The Archaic, Paleo-Indian, Salado,
Patayan, and Sinagua. A written report,
‘‘The Four Southern Tribes and the
Hohokam of the Phoenix Basin,’’ given
to the Hudson Museum by the Gila
River Indian Community, provides a
preponderance of evidence—
archeological, linguistic, oral tradition,
ethnographical, kinship, and
biological—for a relationship of shared
group identity between the Hohokam
culture and the present-day O’odham.
Linguistic evidence indicates that all
of the O’odham speak different dialects
of the same Uto-Aztecan language.
O’odham communities were historically
recorded as living in the Gila River area
by Jesuit missionaries in 1687. In the
1700s, when written records about the
O’odham began, they occupied at least
seven rancherias. At the time of
European contact, the O’odham, who
occupied land previously inhabited by
the Hohokam, mirrored the Hohokam in
many ways. The Hohokam were desert
agriculturalists who developed an
elaborate system of irrigation canals to
irrigate their crops. At European
contact, it was documented that the
O’odham were also desert
agriculturalists who utilized irrigation
