ACTION: Notice of final decision on remand. AGENCY: The Department of the Interior (Department) gives notice that the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs (AS–IA) declines to acknowledge that the Duwamish Tribal Organization (DTO), c/o Cecile Maxwell-Hansen, is an Indian tribe within the meaning of Federal law. This notice follows a Final Decision on Remand (FD on Remand) that the petitioner does not satisfy all seven mandatory criteria in the either the 1978 or 1994 regulations, 25 CFR part 83. Therefore, the DTO does not meet the requirements for a governmentto-government relationship with the United States. The Department issues the FD on Remand in response to judicial review in Hansen v. Salazar, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 40622 (3/22/ 2013). DATES: This decision is final for the Department on publication of this notice. ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of this FD on Remand should be addressed to the Office of the Assistant Secretary— Indian Affairs, Attention: Office of Federal Acknowledgment, 1951 Constitution Avenue NW., MS 34B–SIB, Washington, DC 20240. The FD on Remand is also available through www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/AS–IA/OFA/ RecentCases/index.htm. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. R. Lee Fleming, Director, Office of Federal Acknowledgment, (202) 513– 5650. srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:49 Jul 07, 2015 Jkt 235001 This FD on Remand determines that the petitioner does not satisfy all seven mandatory criteria in the either the 1978 or 1994 regulations, 25 CFR part 83. It affirms the conclusions of the 1996 Proposed Finding (PF) notice of which was published in the Federal Register, 61 FR 33762 (1996), that found the DTO did not meet all seven of the mandatory criteria for Federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe under the regulations 25 CFR part 83 published in 1978. This FD on Remand concludes the administrative process during which the AS–IA issued a PF against acknowledgment and a Final Determination against acknowledgment on September 25, 2001, notice of which was published in the Federal Register, 66 FR 49966 (2001). On December 31, 2001, the DTO, as the ‘‘Duwamish Tribe of Washington,’’ filed a request for reconsideration with the Interior Board of Indian Appeals (IBIA). The IBIA docketed the petitioner’s request, dismissed it for lack of jurisdiction and referred two issues, not within its purview, to the Secretary of the Interior as possible grounds for reconsideration (37 IBIA 95). The two issues concerned a January 19, 2001 draft decision by the Acting AS–IA that proposed to acknowledge the DTO under the 1994 regulations. On May 8, 2002, in response to the IBIA referral, the Secretary declined to request that the AS–IA reconsider the FD against acknowledgment of the DTO. The FD declining to acknowledge the DTO as an Indian tribe became final and effective May 8, 2002. On May 7, 2008, the DTO petitioned for judicial review and other relief in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. On March 22, 2013, the Court vacated the FD of September 25, 2001, and remanded the decision to the Department, ordering it to ‘‘consider the Duwamish petition under the 1994 acknowledgment regulations or explain why it declines to do so.’’ The court referred to the unsigned draft of the former Acting AS– IA and provided that ‘‘Whatever the significance of that document, it clearly gave decision makers in the Department notice that consideration of the Duwamish petition under both sets of regulations might be appropriate’’ (Coughenour 3/22/2013, 18). The Court did not address the merits of the decision under the criteria in the FD. The United States filed a notice of appeal and following settlement, the Ninth Circuit granted the motion to dismiss the appeal voluntarily on June 9, 2014. This FD on Remand addresses the Court’s procedural concerns by SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reevaluating the evidence in the record under the provisions of the 1994 revised regulations. It also evaluates the evidence under the 1978 regulations and refers to those regulations to explain or clarify how the Department evaluated evidence in the PF and FD, now superseded by this FD on Remand. Finally, the FD on Remand refers to the Acting AS–IA draft document. This FD on Remand is made following a review of the DTO’s response to the PF, the public comments on the PF, the documents submitted in court proceedings, and it incorporates the evidence considered in the 1996 PF and the 2001 FD. This notice declining to acknowledge the DTO is based on a determination that of the seven mandatory criteria for Federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe, the petitioner has met criteria 83.7(d), (e), (f), and (g), but has failed to meet criteria 83.7(a), (b), and (c) under both the 1978 and 1994 regulations. Documentary sources describe a historical Duwamish tribe comprising Indians living at the confluence of the Black, Cedar, and Duwamish Rivers south of Lake Washington as well as along the Green and White Rivers, around Lake Washington, and along the eastern shore of Puget Sound in the area of Elliott Bay. Federal negotiators combined the Duwamish with other allied tribes and bands into confederated ‘‘treaty tribes’’ to make a treaty in 1855, and continued to deal with these treaty tribes as the ‘‘D’Wamish and other allied tribes.’’ These treaty tribes moved to four reservations and the separate tribes and bands eventually consolidated as four reservation tribes that continue today as the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation, Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, and Tulalip Tribes of Washington. A few Duwamish tribal members moved to the Muckleshoot Reservation after its creation in 1857. The petitioner’s ancestors, primarily Duwamish Indian women who married non-Indian settlers, did not go to the reservations with the treaty tribes. Rather, before and after the treaty, they left the tribes as individuals and families and, by the 1880s, lived dispersed throughout western Washington. There is no evidence that their descendants, who are the DTO’s ancestors, maintained tribal relations with the ‘‘D’Wamish and other allied tribes’’ on the reservations or that they were a part of a community of similarly situated Duwamish descendants. The DTO petitioner first came into existence in 1925 when eight men E:\FR\FM\08JYN1.SGM 08JYN1
