These unassociated funerary objects are currently in the control of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA. Expert testimony identified the jar and the figurine head as Late Preclassic Hohokam, dating to A.D. 900–1100. Nearly all of the Sacaton red-on-buff vessels were produced at a few villages on the Gila River, most of which are now on the Gila River Indian Reservation, AZ. The Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, has submitted a repatriation claim for the cultural items described in this notice, on behalf of itself 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 the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona’’). The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona assert a close relationship of shared group identity that can be traced both historically and prehistorically between The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona and the people that inhabited south central Arizona and the northern region of present day Mexico from time immemorial. Therefore, The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona claim cultural affiliation to the cultural items based on geographical, archeological, linguistic, oral tradition, and historical evidence. These affiliations include several archeological cultures including (but not limited to) the Archaic, PaleoIndian, Hohokam, Salado, Patayan, and Sinagua. The Hopi Tribe of Arizona claims cultural and ancestral affiliation to all human remains, associated and unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony that were collected from Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Basketmaker, Hisatsinom (Anasazi), Mogollon, Hohokam, Sinaguan, Fremont, Mimbres, and Salado, prehistoric and historic cultures of the Southwest. Based on Zuni oral teachings and tradition, ethnohistoric documentation, historic documentation, archeological documentation, and other evidence, the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, claims cultural affiliation with prehistoric cultures of the southwestern United States that include, and are known as, Paleo Indian, Archaic, Basketmaker, Puebloan, Freemont, Anasazi, Mogollon (including Mimbres and Jornada), Hohokam, Sinagua, Western Pueblo, and Salado. In addition, the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, claims VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:10 Feb 24, 2012 Jkt 226001 cultural affiliation with the historically identified Zuni, Cibola, Shiwi, and Ashiwi cultures. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Determinations Made by the Fowler Museum at UCLA [2253–665] Officials of the Fowler Museum at UCLA have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(b), the two cultural items 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 and are 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 objects and the Ak Chin Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River Indian Community of the Gila Indian Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona; and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Additional Requestors and Disposition Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should contact Wendy G. Teeter, Ph.D., Curator of Archaeology, Fowler Museum at UCLA, Box 951549, Los Angeles, CA 90095–1549, telephone (310) 825–1864, before March 28, 2012. Repatriation of the unassociated funerary objects to the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, on behalf of The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona, may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Fowler Museum at UCLA is responsible for notifying The Four Southern Tribes of Arizona, the Hopi Tribe of Arizona and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, that this notice has been published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Bishop Museum. The human remains were removed from western North America, most likely from northcentral California.

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. SUMMARY: Consultation A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Bishop Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut Tribe). Correspondence in support of the assessment also was provided by the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California.

In 1968, Dr. Zeigler published ‘‘Quasi-agriculture in Northcentral California and its effect on aboriginal social structure’’ in Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers, No. 38, pp. 52–67. Thus, the specimens given to Dr. Zeigler by Dr. Krantz probably were from these regions and were given to Dr. Zeigler in support of his studies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Bishop Museum. The human remains were removed from

History and Description of the Remains

    In June of 1966, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were given to Dr. Alan Zeigler by Dr. Grover Krantz, while 
Dr. Zeigler was studying at the University of California, Berkeley. No 
information is provided as to the origins of the remains, other than a 
note in Zeigler's 1966 catalog listing the location as western North 
America. However, at the time, all of Dr. Zeigler's work focused around 
the Alameda County and Fresno areas in California. Presumably, these 
human remains were given to Zeigler to complement his research 
collection. Remains representing a minimum of two individuals were 
accompanied by a tag that reads, ``Sex? Imm. (2863 A.C. Zeigler) Coll? 
Rec'd from G. Krantz Western North America--No other data. (No meas's 
or wt.) Rec'd Jun-, 1966. Composite part, skeleton only, homo 
sapiens.'' No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    During his time at the University of California, Berkeley, much of 
Dr. Zeigler's collecting was focused on the Alameda, Fresno and 
Northern/Central California areas. In 1968, Dr. Zeigler published 
``Quasi-agriculture in North-central California and its effect on 
aboriginal social structure'' in Kroeber Anthropological Society 
Papers, No. 38, pp. 52-67. Thus, the specimens given to Dr. Zeigler by 
Dr. Krantz probably were from these regions and were given to Dr. 
Zeigler in support of his studies. The geographic locations described 
lie within Yokut territories, which run from the San Pablo Bay shores 
to Tahachapi, and encompass Dr. Zeigler's work area, most notably in 
the East Bay area.

Determinations Made by the Bishop Museum

    Officials of the Bishop Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of two 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 Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa 
Rosa Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut Tribe).

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any Indian tribe that believes itself to be 
culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Betty Lou 
Kam, Vice-President, Cultural Resources, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice 
St., Honolulu, HI 96817, telephone (808) 848-4144, before March 28, 
2012. Repatriation of the human remains to the Santa Rosa Indian 
Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut Tribe) 
may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
    The Bishop Museum is responsible for notifying the Santa Rosa 
Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut 
Tribe) that this notice has been published.
