Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of associated funerary objects under the
control of the Brooklyn Museum,
Brooklyn, NY. The associated funerary
objects were removed from Canyon del
Muerto, Apache County, AZ.
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 associated funerary objects.
The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the
associated funerary objects was made by
the Brooklyn Museum professional staff
in consultation with representatives of
Colorado River Indian Tribes of the
Colorado River Indian Reservation,
Arizona and California; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New
Mexico & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted Tribes’’).
History and Description of the
Associated Funerary Objects
The associated funerary objects and
the mummified remains of a man were
removed from an unidentified site
within Canyon del Muerto in Apache
County, AZ, by Charles L. Day at an
unknown date prior to April 1903. In
April 1903, Brooklyn Museum curator
Stewart Culin purchased the associated
funerary objects and human remains
from Day. Culin’s catalog cards indicate
that the associated funerary objects were
found with the human remains. In 1907,
the human remains were transferred to
the Field Museum of Natural History,
Chicago, IL. The human remains can be
found in the Field Museum of Natural
History’s culturally unidentifiable
inventory. The two associated funerary
objects are one fragmented arrow shaft
and one bow with cord.
The arrow fragments and bow are
Ancestral Puebloan and date to the
Pueblo I–III Periods (700–1300 C.E.).
This determination was made by Susan
Kennedy Zeller, former Associate
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Curator of Native American Art, on
August 8, 1996, on the basis of parallel
materials found within the archeological
literature. Canyon del Muerto is located
within the Western Ancestral Puebloan
cultural area. Archeologically, this
cultural area is characterized by a
temporal shift from subterranean pit
houses to above-ground masonry rooms
surrounding plazas, rectangular kivas,
and a wide variety of regionally distinct
painted ceramics. Other archeological
sites within Canyon del Muerto indicate
sustained Ancestral Puebloan
occupation from the late Basketmaker II
through the Pueblo III Periods. After the
start of the Pueblo III Period, around
1300 C.E., the archeological evidence
suggests that much of the population
living within Canyon del Muerto moved
to other settlements.
The associated funerary objects were
examined during consultations by
representatives from The Tribes during
1996 and 1997, as part of the Brooklyn
Museum’s 1996 NAGPRA Grant.
The Colorado River Tribes of the
Colorado River Reservation, Arizona
and California are composed of four
distinct tribes: the Mohave,
Chemehuevi, Hopi, and Navajo.
Evidence for a cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Colorado River Tribes of the Colorado
River Reservation, Arizona and
California includes similarities in
material culture and architectural
design, as well as archeological data and
oral tradition. Canyon del Muerto lies
within traditional Hopi territory, and
Hopi oral tradition speaks of clan
migrations through the Canyon de
Chelly region, of which Canyon del
Muerto is a part.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona includes
similarities in material culture and
architectural design, as well as
archeological data, geographic
proximity, and oral tradition. The Hopi
Tribe of Arizona considers all of
Arizona to either lie within traditional
Hopi territory or to be a territory
through which Hopi clans migrated.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico &
Utah, includes expert opinion and

geographic proximity. Canyon del
Muerto lies within the aboriginal lands
of the Navajo Nation, as established by
the Indian Claims Commission. Navajo
consultants in 1997 did not specifically
comment on the cultural affiliation of
the associated funerary objects.
However, the Navajo Nation maintains
that it is affiliated with material and
human remains from Canyon de Chelly.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Pueblo of Acoma includes similarities
in material culture and architectural
design, expert opinion, and oral
tradition. The Pueblo of Acoma asserts
a cultural affiliation with archeological
sites within the Four Corners area.
During a 1997 consultation visit to the
Brooklyn Museum, Pueblo of Acoma
representatives stated that they consider
Puebloan archeological material from
Canyon del Muerto to be ancestral to
them.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation
includes similarities in material culture
and architectural design, expert
opinion, geographic proximity, and oral
tradition. Zuni Tribe representatives
explained during a 1996 consultation
that they do not distinguish between
their Ancestral Puebloan ancestors and
themselves, and referred to both the
earlier and present-day groups as Zuni.
Determinations Made by the Brooklyn
Museum
Officials of the Brooklyn Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the two objects described in this notice
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.
• 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 associated
funerary objects and the Colorado River
Indian Tribes of the Colorado River
Indian Reservation, Arizona and
California; Hopi Tribe of Arizona;
Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico &
Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico;
and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation,
New Mexico (hereafter referred to as
‘‘The Tribes’’).
