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 History Colorado
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Mission Indians of the
Santa Ynez Reservation, California.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1913, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from San Miguel Island,
Channel Islands, in Santa Barbara
County, CA. Museum documentation
does not list a specific site from which
the human remains were removed. They
were anonymously donated to the
museum in 1930. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Osteological analysis conducted at the
Metropolitan State University Human
Identification Laboratory concludes that
the remains are of an adult female of
Native American ancestry.
Archaeological evidence and oral
history indicate San Miguel Island is
traditional territory of the Santa Ynez
Band of Chumash Mission Indians of
the Santa Ynez Reservation, California.
Historical and archaeological findings
support the continuous occupation of
the island by the Chumash dating back
several thousand years, and their
relocation to the mainland to Spanish
missions by 19th century. In 1855, the
Santa Ynez Reservation was created for
the Chumash and the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash was federally recognized in
1901.
Determinations Made by History
Colorado
Officials of History Colorado 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California.
Additional Requestors and Disposition

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the White River
National Forest professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; the Kaibab Band
of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab Indian
Reservation, Arizona; the Navajo
Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, and
Utah; the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah;
the Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe of Southern
Ute Reservation, Colorado; the Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray

Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah; and the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico. Hereafter all tribes listed above
are referred to as ‘‘The Consulted and
Invited Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In 1998, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
delivered by a private citizen to the
White River National Forest office in
Glenwood Springs, CO. The private
citizen did not leave personal
information but did indicate that the
human remains may have originated
from southeastern Utah. The human
remains consisted of two largely intact
crania, and one mandible, likely
associated with one of the intact skulls.
A separate plastic bag containing a soil
matrix (presumably from the site(s) of
discovery), three disassociated teeth,
and one human bone fragment was also
found in the box. It is unknown if the
bone fragment(s) and the dissociated
teeth were part of the two human skulls
although both crania and the single
mandible were missing teeth. A cursory
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
anatomical examination revealed the
human remains were Native American,
one female and one male, both of adult
age. The colorations of the individual
crania, along with associated soils,
suggested that they did not originate
from the same site of discovery or
excavation. No craniometric
examinations were made of the human
remains and no destructive (e.g., DNA)
analyses were performed. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the White
River National Forest, USDA:
Officials of the White River National
Forest have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on
archeological context.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of, at
minimum, two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission, the lands
from which the Native American human
remains were likely removed from one
the aboriginal lands of The Consulted
and Invited Tribes.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of the
Ute Mountain Ute Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
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 should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Mr. Scott Fitzwilliams,
Forest Supervisor, White River National
Forest, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601,
telephone (970) 945–3200, by February

of control of the human remains to the
