development of the parkway for the next
20 years. It presents and analyzes three
alternatives: Alternative A (no action)
provides a baseline for evaluating
changes and impacts of the two action
alternatives. Alternative B is the NPS
preferred alternative. The concept for
management under alternative B
emphasizes the original parkway design
and traditional driving experience,
while enhancing outdoor recreational
opportunities and regional natural
resource connectivity, and providing
modest improvements to visitor
services. In essence, the preferred
alternative seeks to reinvest in the
parkway’s aging infrastructure, update
inadequate visitor services and
facilities, and protect a biologically
diverse natural environment that is only
surpassed by two other units in the
national park system. Under Alternative
C, the parkway would seek to
significantly expand regional recreation
opportunities, re-design campgrounds
and other facilities to provide more
modern visitor services, and focuses on
partnerships to enhance regional natural
resource connectivity. The three
alternatives are described in detail in
chapter 2 of the draft plan. The key
impacts of implementing the three
alternatives are detailed in chapter 4
and summarized in chapter 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

History and Description of the Cultural
Item
In 1886, Mrs. Kate Foot Coe collected
one chilkat blanket on Kiloosnoo Island,
AK. On November 19, 1902, Mrs. Foot
Coe donated it to the Peabody Museum
of Natural History. The museum’s
catalog describes the blanket as being
found in a ‘‘receptacle on the top of a
totem pole containing the bones and
ashes of a cremated body.’’ No human
remains associated with this blanket are
in the museum’s collection.
The catalog description of the blanket
indicates that it was collected from a
funerary context and was in association
with bones at the time that it was
collected. Based on the collection
location on Kiloosnoo Island in the
Northwest Coast culture area, the
recovery of the blanket from a grave
pole, and the type of object (chilkat
blanket), this item is believed to be
culturally affiliated with the Central

Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian
Tribes.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History, Yale
University
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History, Yale University have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the single cultural item described above
is 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
is believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• 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
object and the Central Council of the
Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
object should contact Professor Derek
E.G. Briggs, Director, Peabody Museum

History and Description of the Remains
In the 1970s, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Arboles area, Archuleta County, CO. Dr.
Susan Riches, archeologist, reported
that Dr. Katherine Hulbert, a physical
anthropologist at Fort Lewis College in
the 1970s, noted that the remains are
‘‘10th Century Arboles Area.’’ No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In the early 1980s, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from private
land at 6775 County Road 203, West
Animas Valley, near Durango, La Plata
County, CO. This burial was recovered
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

as a result of construction in the area.
No known individual was identified.
The 11 associated funerary objects are 1
gray Chapin pitcher and 10 sherds of
grayware pottery.
In 1978, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a construction site on
Forest Avenue, in Durango, La Plata
County, CO. The human remains were
uncovered by workers from a local
contracting company and brought to the
college in a box. The immediate location
is destroyed. According to Dr. Riches,
the remains seem to be an isolated
burial and are associated with a
grayware jar. No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a partial ceramic jar.
In 1958, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from the Crestview area of
Durango, La Plata County, CO. The
remains were found by Pat Murphy and
were donated to Fort Lewis College by
Murphy in October 1995. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are a pottery
bowl and pot.
In 1989, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from 5LP 4883, in La Plata
County, CO. These remains were found
along Rim Drive (County Road 239),
near the Fort Lewis College Campus on
City of Durango land. These remains
were exposed as the result of road
construction and subsequent erosion.
The control of these remains were
officially transferred to Fort Lewis
College in 2011. No known individual
was identified. The one associated
funerary object is a reconstructed
Chapin grayware pot.
The associated funerary objects for the
above four sites are consistent with the
Basketmaker III/Pueblo I period (A.D.
650–840).
In 1984, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from 5LP 1421, in La Plata
County, CO. The remains were found on
Rim Road on the Fort Lewis College
campus and the site was disturbed due
to road construction. No known
individual was identified. The eight
associated funerary objects are pottery
sherds (one grayware jar sherd and
seven Rosa black-on-white bowl sherds).
According to the site form, this site
dates to the Basketmaker III/Pueblo I
period (7th or 8th century A.D.) based
on ceramic evidence.
In 1997, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from site 5LP 4847, in La Plata
County, CO. The remains were
excavated by archeologists from Fort
Lewis College from a burial context
