The site was extensively excavated by Richard W. Jordan, an archeologist with Bryn Mawr College, and human remains were accessioned by the University of Alaska Museum of the North (accession number UA86–202). These partial sets of human remains represent two adult males, 21– 35 years old; one adult male, 25–35 years old; one adult male, 35–45 years old; one adult female 21–35 years old; one adult female over 50 years old; two adults of indeterminate sex and age; one PO 00000 Frm 00119 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 juvenile of indeterminate sex, 1–3 years old; and 17 individuals of indeterminate sex and age. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The human remains are determined to be Native American based on the geographic location (Kodiak Island, AK), the condition of the human remains, and their morphology. Nine of the individuals were excavated from burials and the other 17 individuals were from three collections of ‘‘scattered remains.’’ Radiocarbon dating of organic materials contextually associated with the human remains date within the last 2,000 years. Archeological studies and oral traditions show a 7,500-year ancestry between present-day and past residents on Kodiak Island. Therefore, the human remains are determined to be directly related to Kodiak Alutiiq people represented by the Native Village of Ouzinkie. Determinations Made by the Bureau of Land Management, Alaska State Office Officials of the BLM, Alaska State Office, have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of 26 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 Native Village of Ouzinkie.

History and Description of the Cultural Items

    In 1971, 15 cultural items were removed from D13-26 in Hawaii 
County, HI, by the University of California, Santa Barbara during 
extensive archeological excavations under the direction of Robert 
Renger. D13-26 is located on lands which now comprise Kaloko-
Honok[omacr]hau National Historical Park, but the park was not 
established as a unit of the National Park Service until November 10, 
1978. The collections were entrusted to Robert Renger by the land owner 
at the conclusion of fieldwork. On October 29, 1990, Robert Renger 
donated the Kaloko archeological collection to Kaloko-Honok[omacr]hau 
National Historical Park. The 15 unassociated funerary objects are 2 
echinoid files, 1 bone fishhook point, 1 basalt abrader, 3 metal nails, 
3 glass fragments, 1 cylindrical object, and 4 metal fragments.
    D13-26 is a low platform with a low rectangular alignment and a 
possible fire pit. One set of human remains was identified and left in 
place within the low rectangular alignment further described as a 
crypt. Three building/use stages are identifiable at the site: the 
construction of the platform, the additional use of the platform, and 
the construction of the crypt and rectangular alignment of stones. 
Artifacts present at the site are representative of both pre- and post-
contact time periods.

Determinations Made by Kaloko-Honok[omacr]hau National Historical Park

    Officials of Kaloko-Honok[omacr]hau National Historical Park have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 15 cultural items 
described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or 
near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of 
the death rite or ceremony and 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 objects and the `ohana of Kuali`i, (Guye) Lee, 
(Reggie) Lee, Lui, Naboa, Nazara, Palacat-Nelson, and Vincent.
