History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, 1 individual
were removed from an unknown site in
Wyoming. Theodore Sowers collected
the human remains in the 1930s during
fieldwork led by Dr. E.B. Renaud of the
University of Denver Department of
Anthropology. Mr. Sowers’ daughters,
Katy Sickles and Jenny Bauer, donated
the human remains to the University of
Denver Museum of Anthropology in
August, 1995, to facilitate repatriation.
A napkin with the inscription ‘‘A
Katenia’’ and male/female symbols were
found with the remains upon donation.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the
Secretary of the Interior may make a
recommendation for a transfer of control
of culturally unidentifiable human
remains. In November 2014, the
University of Denver Museum of
Anthropology requested that the
Secretary, through the Native American

Review Committee, recommend the
proposed transfer of control of the
culturally unidentifiable Native
American human remains in this notice
to the Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming; and the
Shoshone Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming. The Review
Committee, acting pursuant to its
responsibility under 25 U.S.C.
3006(c)(5), considered the request at its
November 2014 meeting and
recommended to the Secretary that the
proposed transfer of control proceed. A
December 29, 2014 letter on behalf of
the Secretary of Interior from the
Associate Director, Cultural Resources,
Partnerships, and Science transmitted
the Secretary’s independent review and
concurrence with the Review
Committee that:
• The University of Denver Museum
of Anthropology consulted with every
appropriate Indian tribe or Native
Hawaiian organization,
• none of The Consulted and Notified
Tribes objected to the proposed transfer
of control, and
• the University of Denver Museum
of Anthropology may proceed with the
agreed upon transfer of control of the
culturally unidentifiable human
remains to the Arapaho Tribe of the
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; and
the Shoshone Tribe of the Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming.
Transfer of control is contingent on
the publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.
