Notice; correction.

ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
correction of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession of The University of
Montana, Missoula, MT. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from various locations in
western Montana.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the number of
associated funerary objects previously
published in a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register (68
FR 50187–50189, August 20, 2003). In
2009 and 2011, associated funerary
objects for human remains (UMFC01,
UMFC24, and 24MO1071) were

discovered in the University of
Montana’s collection. This notice also
corrects the minimum number of
individuals by removing four sets of
human remains (UMFC21, UMFC25,
and UMFC72) originally published as
separate individuals. Upon further
review of the collection, these remains
were not those of distinct individuals
but could be connected to other sets of
remains listed elsewhere in the notice.
Transfer of control of the human
remains to the tribe listed below has
been completed.
In the Federal Register (68 FR 50187–
50189, August 20, 2003), paragraph
four, is corrected by substituting the
following:
In 1952, human remains (UMFC01)
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from the
University of Montana campus,
Missoula County, MT. The remains
were excavated by Carling Malouf. One
bone was stained with a red substance
likely to be ocher, which is consistent
with a prehistoric Native American
secondary burial practice. No known
individuals were identified. The seven
associated funerary objects are 1 copper
bell, 1 set of copper beads, 1 copper
coil, 1 shell pendant fragment, 1 set of
arrow points, 1 set of lithic flakes, and
1 lot of beads of various sizes. The
presence of glass seed beads, of types
commonly traded to local tribes in the
mid-19th century, dates the burials to
that period.
In the Federal Register (68 FR 50187–
50189, August 20, 2003), paragraphs 10,
12, and 18 are deleted. These remains
(UMFC21, UMFC25, and UMFC 72) are
duplicative of the remains in paragraph
four (UMFC01) as revised above, and
remains published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal
Register (75 FR 58430–58431,
September 24, 2010), paragraphs six and
seven.
In the Federal Register (68 FR 50187–
50189, August 20, 2003), paragraph 11,
sentence four, is corrected by
substituting the following sentence:
The two associated funerary objects
are one lot of animal teeth and one lot
of small fossil shell beads, all covered
with red ochre.
In the Federal Register (68 FR 50187–
50189, August 20, 2003), paragraph 19
is corrected by substituting the
following:
Prior to 1991, human remains
(24MO1071) representing a minimum of
one individual were removed from
prehistoric archeological site 24MO1071
in Missoula County, MT. Metric
analysis and geographic location
indicated that the individual was
probably Native American. No known

individual was identified. The 17
associated funerary objects are 13
animal rib bones, 1 bird bone whistle,
1 chert flake, 1 chert tool, and 1 drill
with a broken tip.
In the Federal Register (68 FR 50187–
50189, August 20, 2003), paragraph 24
is corrected by substituting the
following paragraph:
Determinations Made by The University
of Montana
Officials of The University of
Montana have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 17
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 194 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and the
Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes
of the Flathead Reservation, Montana.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the associated funerary
objects should contact Sally Thompson,
University of Montana, Anthropological
Curation Facility, Department of
Anthropology, Missoula, MT 59812,
telephone (406) 243–5525, before
August 22, 2012. Repatriation of the
associated funerary objects to the
Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes
of the Flathead Reservation, Montana,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The University of Montana is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes
of the Flathead Reservation, Montana
that this notice has been published.
Dated: June 28, 2012.
