ADDRESSES:
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 Florida Department of State,
Division of Historical Resources,
Tallahassee, FL. The human remains
were removed from a site in Queens
County, Long Island, NY.
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 human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Florida
Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources, professional staff
in consultation with the Unkechaug
Indian Nation and the Matinecock Tribe
of Long Island, both of which are nonfederally recognized Indian groups. The
Shinnecock Indian Nation was invited
to participate but was not involved in
consultations.
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in Long Island, Queens
County, NY, and were subsequently
donated to the Museum of Arts and
Sciences in Daytona Beach. The Florida
Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources, assumed
jurisdiction over these human remains
pursuant to Section 872.05, Florida
Statutes. The human remains were
determined to be from a Native
American individual based on the
labeling on the mandible stating
‘‘MATINICACK INDIN LONG ISLAND.’’
The Matinecock are a Native American
group who are historically documented
on Long Island and connected through
kinship to the other Long Island Nations
including the Unkechaug, Shinnecock,
and Montaukett. Historical evidence
suggests that the human remains may
have come from a Matinecock cemetery
that was removed in 1931 and 1932,
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
when Northern Boulevard was widened
in Queens Borough, Long Island, NY.
The burials belonging to that cemetery
were reportedly relocated to another
cemetery. Descendants of people buried
in the cemetery note that some of the
human remains and items removed
during the exhumations were not
reburied. The Museum of Arts and
Sciences in Daytona Beach lacked
accession records from many of its older
collections. The spelling of ‘‘Matinicack
Indin’’ on the label of the mandible
suggests that the human remains were
collected by a non-professional
archeologist or anthropologist who, on
information or belief, determined that
they were affiliated with the
Matinecock. No other provenience
information is available. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the
Secretary of the Interior may
recommend transfer of control of
culturally unidentifiable human
remains. In September 2016, the Florida
Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources, requested that the
Secretary, through the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation
Review Committee, recommend the
proposed transfer of control of the
culturally unidentifiable Native
American human remains in this notice
to the Unkechaug Indian Nation, a nonfederally recognized Indian group. The
Review Committee, acting pursuant to
its responsibility under 25 U.S.C.
3006(c)(5), considered the request at its
March 2017 meeting and recommended
to the Secretary that the proposed
transfer of control proceed. An April
2017 letter on behalf of the Secretary of
Interior from the National Park Service
Associate Director for Cultural
Resources, Partnerships, and Science
transmitted the Secretary’s independent
review and concurrence with the
Review Committee that:
• No Indian Tribes or Indian groups
objected to the proposed transfer of
control, and
• the Florida Department of State,
Division of Historical Resources, may
proceed with the agreed upon transfer of
control of the culturally unidentifiable
human remains to the Unkechaug
Indian Nation, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
Transfer of control is contingent on
the publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.

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
Based on the likely cultural affiliation
of the human remains and the
aboriginally occupied lands of the
Tribes, the Rogue River-Siskiyou
National Forest consulted with the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of
Oregon (previously listed as the
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation); Confederated Tribes of the
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon;
and Quartz Valley Indian Community of
the Quartz Valley Indian Reservation of
California. Formal consultation
regarding the human remains began in
1995 and continued through 2007.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1971, and at some time between
1975 and 1979, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from site
35JA90 in Jackson County, OR. The site
is located on Federal land within the
Siskiyou Mountains Ranger District. The
Jackson County Sheriff’s Department
was notified of the discovery and
removed the human remains for further
examination. After examination, the
Sheriff’s Department turned the skeletal
remains over to the Department of
Sociology and Anthropology at
Southern Oregon State College (now
Southern Oregon University). Analysis
of the human remains in 1995 and 1999
identified one female of an unknown
age (Catalogue #11–425), one male
between 20–23 years old (Catalogue
#11–426), and one incomplete set of
human remains of unknown sex and age
(Catalogue Collection #2). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Site 35JA90 is a pre-contact village
site with burial grounds located on
Federal lands with a portion of the site
located on private property. In 1979,
Oregon State University (OSU)
Department of Anthropology was
contracted by the Rogue River National
Forest to further investigate the site. The
site was archeologically tested and
recorded by archeologists Dr. David
Brauner and Sandy Snyder. A Guntherbarbed projectile point and other
projectile point types were noted at the
site indicating an occupation date of
approximately 1,500–150 years BP. The
site is associated with the descendants
of the Dakubetede (applegate
