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 and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Field Museum of Natural History,
Chicago, IL. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from sites on the Hopi
Reservation in Navajo and Coconino
Counties, 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 human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the minimum
number of individuals, number of
associated funerary objects, and cultural
affiliation reported in two previously
published notices: Notice of Inventory
Completion (75 FR 45659–45660,
August 3, 2010); and corrected Notice of
Inventory Completion (82 FR 20610–
20611, May 3, 2017). This notice
replaces both the original Notice of
Inventory Completion of August 3, 2010
and the corrected Notice of Inventory
Completion of May 3, 2017. It was
PO 00000
Frm 00022

discovered during the deaccession
process for repatriation that the number
of associated funerary objects and
minimum number of individuals had
been inadvertently misreported in the
published notices. Additional
information received during later
research and consultation resulted in a
change to the determination of cultural
affiliation for the site of Payupki.
Transfer of control of the items in this
notice has not occurred.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Field Museum
of Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona and the Pueblo of
Sandia, New Mexico.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1900 and 1901, human remains
representing, at minimum, 303
individuals were removed from sites on
the Hopi Reservation in Navajo and
Coconino Counties, AZ, by Charles
Owen. They were removed from the
sites of Awatobi, First Mesa, Burned
Corn House, Chukubi, Payupki,
Shongopovi, Kishuba, Sikyatki,
Mishongovi, Old Mishongovi, and Old
Walpi as well as unknown sites. The
human remains were accessioned into
the Field Museum of Natural History as
part of accessions 709, 769, and 780. No
known individuals were identified. The
179 associated funerary objects are 32
ceramic jars, 53 bowls, 29 pots, 18
ladles, six mugs, six vessels, 10 bahos,
two beads, three stone figures, six stone
slabs, five faunal remains, two seeds,
two pipes, one shell ornament, one ear
pendant, one colander, one lot of paint,
and one lithic flake.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the burial context and the specific
cultural and geographic attribution in
Field Museum of Natural History
records. All of the human remains were
identified as ‘‘Hopi’’ and were removed
from sites on the Hopi Indian
Reservation, AZ. ‘‘Hopi’’ descendants
from the Hopi Indian Reservation are
represented by the present-day Hopi
Tribe of Arizona.
The site of Payupki was recorded in
Charles Owen’s notes as being founded
in 1680 by people from the ‘‘Rio Grande
district’’ who lived there for a few
generations before returning from where
they had come. Based on academic
literature and oral tradition, these
people were the ancestors of the Pueblo
of Sandia, New Mexico. Therefore, the
one set of human remains and one
associated funerary object (one lithic
flake) from Payupki are affiliated to the

SUMMARY:
History and Description of the Cultural

In 1900 and 1901, six cultural items
were removed from the site of Payupki
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
in Navajo County, AZ. The items were
removed by Charles Owen over the
course of two field seasons. The
excavations were sponsored by Stanley
McCormick on behalf of the Field
Museum of Natural History. The six
unassociated funerary objects are one
ceramic jar, one ceramic pot, and four
ceramic bowls.
Owen’s field notes and the
corresponding field numbers on the
items show by a preponderance of
evidence that the items were removed
from graves. The items were all removed
from the Hopi Reservation. They are
culturally affiliated with the Hopi Tribe
of Arizona based on academic literature,
oral tradition, and consultation with the
Hopi Tribe.
The site of Payupki was recorded in
Charles Owen’s notes as being founded
in 1680 by people from the ‘‘Rio Grande
district’’ who lived at the site for a few
generations before returning from where
they had come. Based on academic
literature and oral traditional
information, these people were the
ancestors of the Pueblo of Sandia, New
Mexico.
Determinations Made by the Field
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the six 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 Hopi Tribe of Arizona.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
