there is a relationship of shared group
identity between the historic
Coahuiltecan culture and the presentday Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of
Oklahoma.

1995, and the remains were determined
to be ancestral to the Apache Tribe of
Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of
Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New
Mexico; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the
Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico;
Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona;

these tribes were invited to consult with
TAMU for the purpose of determining
the place and manner of repatriation,

Sometime in the 1980s, human

No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present. The diagnostic artifacts
recovered from the same site indicate
that these remains date to the late
Paleoindian or early Archaic period.
Based on the geographic location of
these sites, TAMU staff found it
reasonable to trace a relationship of
shared group identity between the
human remains in this notice and the
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort Sill
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla
Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero
