Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, that meets the definition of cultural item under 25 U.S.C. 3001.

The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. History and Description of the Cultural Item The one cultural item is a nearly complete wolf skin. The head and lower appendages are stuffed with straw, and the mouth and eyes are stitched shut with sinew. Flicker feathers are attached to the mouth by a tassel of white cotton string, and woodpecker scalps cover each eye. The cultural item was purchased for the museum, on behalf of Phoebe A. Hearst, by Alfred Kroeber in 1902. Dr. Kroeber purchased the item from Alexander Brizard, a local trader in the Klamath River area of Humboldt County, CA. The Museum has right of possession to this item, but chooses to waive it in this case. Evidence presented by the tribe and ethnographic sources suggest that the wolf skin was associated with the Karuk Pikiavish (World Renewal Ceremony), and is used in the component of that ceremony known as the White Deerskin Dance. The cultural affiliation of the cultural item is to the Karuk Tribe (previously listed as the Karuk Tribe of California), as indicated by museum records and by consultation evidence presented by the tribe. Museum records prepared at the time of original acquisition indicate that the cultural item is ‘‘Karok.’’ Determinations Made By the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, the one item described above meets the definition of cultural item and is subject to repatriation under NAGPRA. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the wolf skin and the Karuk Tribe (previously listed as the Karuk Tribe of California).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items under the 
control of the BLM Gila District Office that meet the definition of 
unassociated funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    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 cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

History and Description of the Cultural Item(s)

    In 1983 and 1985, 169 objects were removed from site AZ U:15:109 
(ASM) in Florence, Pinal County, AZ, in addition to human remains and 
associated funerary objects, during legally authorized salvage 
excavations of the site. A Notice of Inventory Completion was published 
in the Federal Register (65 FR 45399-45401, July 21, 2000) for the 
human remains and associated funerary objects from burials A through C 
of AZ U:15:109 (ASM). The human remains and associated funerary objects 
were repatriated to the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River 
Indian Reservation, Arizona. The Gila River Indian Community of the 
Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, has requested repatriation of 
the 169 objects from site AZ U:15:109 (ASM) as unassociated funerary 
objects. The objects consist of 158 pottery sherds, 8 lithics, 1 large 
decorated sherd, and 2 reconstructed pottery jars.
    Based on ceramics, site AZ U:15:109 (ASM) was identified as 
Hohokam. Continuities of ethnographic materials, technology, and 
architecture indicate affiliation of site AZ U:15:109 (ASM) with 
present-day Piman, O'odham and Puebloan cultures. Oral traditions 
presented by representatives of the Ak-Chin Indian Community of the 
Maricopa (Ak-Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; the Gila River Indian 
Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona; the Salt River 
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; 
the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona; the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; and 
the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, support affiliation 
with Hohokam and Salado sites in central Arizona.

Determinations Made By the Bureau of Land Management

    Officials of the Bureau of Land Management have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 169 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 Gila River Indian Community of 
the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe not 
identified in this notice that wish to claim these cultural items 
should submit a written request with information in support of the 
claim to Tim Shannon, District Manager, Bureau of Land Management, Gila 
District Office, 3201 East Universal Way, Tucson, AZ 85756, telephone 
(520) 258-7200, email tshannon@blm.gov, by July 24, 2014. After that 
date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control 
of the unassociated funerary objects to the Gila River Indian Community 
of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, may proceed.
    The BLM is responsible for notifying the Gila River Indian 
Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, that this 
notice has been published.
