The remains were a part of a collection loan to the University of Maine, Hudson Museum, by the former Portland Society of Natural History and subsequently donated to the University of Maine, Hudson Museum by the Maine Audubon Society. The human remains are identified at the University of Maine, Hudson Museum, as numbers 12 and 13. Number 12 is a mandible from a female, age 18–40, and number 13 is a mandible from a male, age 18–40. Number 13 is consistent with archaeological remains, while number 12 is not likely from an archaeological context. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. All human remains in the possession of the University of Maine, Hudson Museum, were reviewed by forensic anthropologist Marcella Sorg, Ph.D., D– ABFA on July 16, 2002, who was assisted by former Hudson Museum Director Stephen Whittington, Lisa Hunter, and Kentra Gleuck. The resulting report indicates the minimum number of individuals, age, sex, ancestry, and provenience if available. The human remains represented by #12 and #13 were determined to be of Native American ancestry and have provenience to the ancestral territories of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs Indians of Maine, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians of Maine, Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine, and the Penobscot Tribe of Maine.

group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and any present-day Indian tribe.
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims

Nevada; Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid Lake Reservation,

the Walker River Reservation, Nevada; and Yerington Paiute Tribe of the 
Yerington Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada.

Congress, and Executive Orders, indicate that the land from which the 
Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Bridgeport Indian Colony of California; Burns Paiute Tribe of the 
Burns Paiute Indian Colony of Oregon; Cedarville Rancheria, California; 
Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; Fort 
Bidwell Indian Community of the Fort Bidwell Reservation of California;

the Walker River Reservation, Nevada; and Yerington Paiute Tribe of the 
Yerington Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada (hereafter referred to as 
``The Tribes'').
     Other credible lines of evidence indicate that the land 
from which the Native American human remains 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 two individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
