SUMMARY:

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the American
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, 1 individual,
were removed from what we believe to
be the Missouri River region of North
Dakota. The remains of one adult of
unknown sex were found among the
American Museum of Natural History’s
collections during a recent collections
review. The American Museum of
Natural History has no information on
the circumstances of the acquisition of
these remains. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The individual has
been identified as Native American
based on museum documentation that
refers to the remains as ‘‘Arikikara
Indianer.’’
These remains have not been directly
dated and although no information
regarding the initial recovery of these
remains is available, a provenience tag
reading ‘‘Arikikara Indianer Missouri’’
was present. ‘‘Arikikara’’ likely
represents an alternate spelling of
Arikara and the mention of Missouri
likely denotes the portion of the
Missouri River drainage included in
Sahnish (Arikara) aboriginal lands.
Determinations Made by the American
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the American Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 1
individual 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 Three Affiliated Tribes
of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Nell Murphy,

the demise of the Gila Pueblo
Foundation. No known individual was
identified. There are no funerary objects
associated with these remains.
In 1994, human remains representing,
