SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains under the control of
the Hudson Museum, Orono, ME. The
human remains were removed from
present-day Kiowa County, CO.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
The determinations in this notice are
the sole responsibility of the museum,
institution, or Federal agency that has
control of the Native American human
remains. The National Park Service is
not responsible for the determinations
in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Marcella Sorg,
Ph.D., D–ABGFA Forensic
Anthropologist and Hudson Museum
professional staff, in consultation with
representatives of the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (previously
listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes
of Oklahoma).
History and Description of the Remains
In the 1860s, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Colonel
Henry Inman from the Smoky Hill
Reservation, in what was then Kansas.
Based on additional research
undertaken by the Hudson Museum, it
would appear that the human remains
were probably removed from the site of
the Sand Creek Massacre in present day
Kiowa County, CO. The human remains
represent one individual and consist of
a partial cranium of a male age 25–40.
The human remains came to the Hudson
Museum as a transfer from the former
Portland Museum of Natural History in

were identified. No associated funerary
