SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the Museum
of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff, AZ, that
meet the definition of unassociated
funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
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
Items
In 1978 and 1979, 105 cultural items
were removed from the Cashion site
(NA14690) in Maricopa County, AZ,
during authorized archeological
investigations conducted by the
Museum of Arizona on behalf of the
Arizona Nuclear Power Project, prior to
the construction of a wastewater
conveyance system that was to provide
water to cool the Palo Verde Nuclear
Generating Station. The 105
unassociated funerary objects are 14
pottery and ceramic fragments, 30
jewelry items and fragments, 2 pollen
samples, 2 faunal bone fragments, 51
projectile points, and 6 tools and
implements. The cultural items are
associated with seven features identified

by the field archeologists as secondary
human cremations. No human bone was
recovered.
Based on archeological evidence,
geographic location, and object
classification, these cultural items were
made by Native Americans.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the Cashion site (NA14690), within the
Salt River area of central Arizona, was
occupied during the period A.D. 700–
900 by the Hohokam people, for whom
cremation was a common mortuary
practice. Hopi and Zuni oral traditions
also indicate that segments of the
prehistoric Hohokam population
migrated to areas occupied by the
ancestors of the Hopi and Zuni and
were assimilated into the resident
populations. Archeological, historical,
and oral tradition evidence indicate that
there is a relationship of shared group
identity between the Hohokam people
and the present-day Piman and
O’odham cultures, represented by the
Ak-Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona; and Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.

After that date, if no additional

of control of the unassociated funerary
objects to the Ak-Chin Indian
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin)
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River

Determinations Made by the Museum of
Northern Arizona

Arizona have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 105 cultural items described above
are reasonably believed to have been

are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
