History and Description of the Remains
On August 24, 1985, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
North Kaibab Ranger District in
Coconino County, AZ. On August 23,
1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s
Office was contacted in regards to
human skeletal remains that were
discovered by a hunter on the North
Kaibab Ranger District. On August 24,
1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s
Office conducted an investigation in the
area and collected the human remains.
On August 26, 1985, an anthropologist
examined the remains and concluded
that the skeleton was that of a female
around 50–55 years of age at death and
approximately 5’0’’ to 5’2’’ in stature.
The examiner further concluded that the
remains are possibly from a Hispanic
individual, but are more likely from a
Native American person. The
examination surmised that the
individual may have died of exposure in
the 1930s or earlier based on the
condition of the remains. On November
14, 1985, the Coconino County Sherriff’s
Office closed the case and turned the
remains over to Northern Arizona
University. Later, the remains were
moved to the Coconino County
Coroner’s Office in Flagstaff, AZ. In
2012, the Coconino County Coroner’s
Office notified the Kaibab National
Forest of the remains. The five
associated funerary objects are two
metal belt buckles, two steel rings, and
one lot of fragments of a leather horse
halter with brass rivets.
Sherriff’s Office detectives and the
medical examiner dated the remains to
the 1930s or earlier. Interviews
conducted during the investigation
indicated the remains may be affiliated
with the Paiute people. The area where
the remains were located is within the
traditional use area of the Kaibab Band
of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab Indian
Reservation, Arizona.
Determinations Made by the USDA
Forest Service, Kaibab National Forest
Officials of the USDA Forest Service,
Kaibab National Forest have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the five objects described in this notice
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 Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians
of the Kaibab Indian Reservation,
Arizona.
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 and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Michael R Williams,
Forest Supervisor, Kaibab National
Forest, 800 S 6th St, Williams, AZ
86046, telephone (928) 635–8200, email
mrwilliams01@fs.fed.us by April 15,
2015. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the Kaibab
Band of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab
Indian Reservation, Arizona, may
proceed.
The Kaibab National Forest is
responsible for notifying the Hopi Tribe
of Arizona; Kaibab Band of Paiute
Indians of the Kaibab Indian
Reservation, Arizona; Navajo Nation,
Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; San Juan
Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; and
