Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 36 / Friday, February 24, 2017 / Notices
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1901, while on a museumsponsored expedition to conduct
linguistic and ethnological
investigations among the Meskwaki
(Fox), William Jones acquired the
grizzly bear claw necklace from an
unspecified individual(s) in Tama,
Tama County, IA. The necklace consists
of a circular core wrapped in otter fur,
onto which are attached 27 grizzly bear
claws, each spaced apart by 3 blue glass
beads. The necklace has a long trailer
that is formed from the folded pelt of
the otter which hangs from the back and
is decorated by three areas of beading.
Based on the museum’s records and
consultation with representatives of the
Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in
Iowa, this grizzly bear claw necklace is
affiliated with the Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa. Evidence from
museum records, scholarly publications,
and information provided during
consultation indicates that the necklace
has ongoing historical, traditional, and
cultural importance to the tribe, and
that no individual had the right to
alienate it.

Tribe of the Squaxin Island Reservation;

Madison Reservation; Tulalip Tribes of
Washington (previously listed as the
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington); and Upper
Skagit Indian Tribe (hereinafter referred
to as ‘‘The Invited and Consulted
Tribes’’). Due to the ambiguity of the
region listed as the ‘‘Northwest Coast,’’
consultation efforts were extended to
tribal communities in the coastal areas
of Washington State.
History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location along the ‘‘Northwest
Coast.’’ This individual was transferred
to Indiana University from the
University of Chicago during the 1950s
along with four other individuals. Notes
with these four individuals indicated
they were likely collected from the
Anacortes area of Washington State. The
boxes are recorded as having been
previously from the University of
Washington; however, efforts in
collaboration with NAGPRA personnel
at the University of Washington have
failed to locate additional information
regarding the collection’s presence at
the University of Washington and its
subsequent transfer to the University of
Chicago. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The four individuals were transferred
to the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation in summer of 2016.
Through consultation, it was decided
that this individual should be
transferred with the other four
individuals, as it is likely that they were
collected together from the same
location.
