SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Arkansas Archeological Survey, Fayetteville, AR. The 
human remains were removed from Drew County, AR.
    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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Arkansas 
Archeological Survey professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe. These human remains 
were inventoried and documented by Physical Anthropologists at the 
University of Arkansas.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1983, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals 
were recovered from site 3DR144 in Drew County, AR. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects were 
present.
    This notice includes a variety of terms commonly used in 
discussions of Arkansas archeology and the historical trajectories that 
gave rise to specific Native American communities identified in the 
historical record. Based on the archeological context for these sites 
and what is presently known about the peoples who pre-date the historic 
Tunica people and occupied the sites listed in this notice, the 
Arkansas Archeological Survey has determined the human remains listed 
in this notice are culturally affiliated with the Tunica-Biloxi Indian 
Tribe.

    Officials of the Arkansas Archeological Survey have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 2 individuals 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 Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe.

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. 
George Sabo, Director, Arkansas Archeological Survey, 2475 North Hatch 
Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72704, (479) 575-3556, [email protected], by 
March 1, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Tunica-Biloxi
