the control of Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH. The human remains were

    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's

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

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Oberlin 
College professional staff in consultation with representatives of the 
Onondaga Nation.

History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown site in Baldwinsville, Onondaga 
County, NY. In 1886, the Oberlin College Museum received human remains 
described as ``Skull of Onondaga Indian'' acquired from an ``Ancient 
Burial Place, Baldwinsville, NY.'' S.M. Dunbar is listed as the donor. 
The human remains were retained by Oberlin College after the museum's 
closure in the 1950s and are now in the care of the Oberlin College 
Department of Anthropology. The human remains consist of one probable 
female, approximately 18-35 years old. ``Onondaga'' is written in black 
ink on the human remains. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    Osteological examination identifies these human remains as 
representing an individual of Native American ancestry. Their 
geographic affiliation with the territory of the Onondaga Nation is 
documented through collection evidence, oral history, and scholarly 
sources. During consultation, the Onondaga Nation's NAGPRA contact, 
Tony Gonyea, identified Baldwinsville as located in the heart of the 
traditional area of the Onondaga Nation. Archeological data demonstrate 
the Onondaga Nation's continued occupation of the Baldwinsville area 
since at least the Late Woodland period.

Determinations Made by Oberlin College

     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 Onondaga Nation.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or 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 Dr. Amy 
V. Margaris, Oberlin College NAGPRA Compliance Officer, Department of

31, 2017. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Onondaga 
Nation may proceed.
    Oberlin College is responsible for notifying the Onondaga Nation 
that this notice has been published.
