Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 234 / Friday, December 4, 2020 / Notices
• At the time of the early colonial
period, the area encompassing Naval
Submarine Base Kings Bay was
occupied by the Timucua, a Muskogean
(or, alternatively, a Siouan or Arawakanspeaking) group (Milanich 2004). After
1595, with the expansion of the Spanish
mission system in La Florida, the
Timucua became actively subject to the
Spanish Crown. By the early 18th
century a combination of disease, forced
relocation by the Spanish, and
enslavement had reduced the Timucua
population to a few hundred. The
reduction of Timucua numbers between
the 16th and 18th centuries allowed for
the expansion of other Muskogean
peoples into the region. The terms of the
Treaty of Augusta, signed in 1763 (a
corollary to the Treaty of Paris ending
the Seven Years War), ceded the Georgia
coast, including what is currently St.
Marys, GA, from the Creek Indians to
the British Crown. Subsequently, the
Treaty of 1790 and the Treaty of
Colerain (1796) ceded additional lands
by the Creek in Georgia and elsewhere
to the United States. Consequently, the
land from which the Native American
human remains were removed is the
aboriginal land of Creek peoples,
including the Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians; Poarch Band of Creeks
(previously listed as Poarch Band of
Creek Indians of Alabama); Seminole
Tribe of Florida (previously listed as
Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa
Reservations)); The Chickasaw Nation;
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The
Seminole Nation of Oklahoma; and the
Thlopthlocco Tribal Town (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
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. John Calabrese, United
States Navy, Navy Region Southeast,
Naval Air Station Jacksonville,
Jacksonville, FL 32212, telephone (904)
542–6985, email john.calabrese@
navy.mil, by January 4, 2021. After that
date, if no additional requestors have
come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to The Tribes may
proceed.
The Department of the Navy, Navy
Region Southeast is responsible for
notifying The Consulted Tribes that this
notice has been published.

park that total an additional 10.54 acres.
The National Park Service is currently
performing the due diligence to acquire
these properties. There are also four
other individual properties totaling
approximately 1.09 acres with signed
letters of intent to sell or donate. In
total, these parcels constitute sufficient
lands to constitute a manageable unit of
the National Park System.

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
University of California Berkeley,
Berkeley, CA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from around Humboldt Bay,
Humboldt County, CA.
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

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
California Berkeley professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Wiyot Tribe, California (previously
listed as Table Bluff Reservation—Wiyot
Tribe).
History and Description of the Remains
In the early 20th century, human
remains representing, at minimum, 14
individuals were removed from sites
CA–HUM–68, CA–HUM–33, CA–HUM–
23, and CA–HUM–112 in Humboldt
County, CA. These human remains were
collected by H.H. Stuart, an amateur

archeologist based in Eureka, CA, and
were part of a donation that was
accessioned into the museum in 1931.
Most of the individuals are represented
by a very small number of bones, and
because the digs were not well
documented, the age and the sex of the
individuals were not recorded. No
known individuals were identified. The
one associated funerary object is one set
of unidentified animal bones.
Between July and October 1913,
human remains representing, at
minimum, seven individuals were
removed from sites CA–HUM–33, and
CA–HUM–37, near the Mad River
Slough, in Humboldt County, CA. These
human remains were collected by
Llewellyn Loud, who was working on
an ethnogeographic and archeological
survey of the Wiyot people under the
direction of Alfred Kroeber. The human
remains were accessioned on November
6, 1913. No associated funerary objects
are present.
Most of the sites around Humboldt
Bay date to the creation of the Bay,
approximately 5000–7000 years ago.
According to archeological evidence,
Wiyot oral tradition, and the written
historical record, the Wiyot Tribe has
been present in this area since before
the creation of Humboldt Bay.
Determinations Made by the University
of California Berkeley
Officials of the University of
California Berkeley have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 21
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the one object 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 human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Wiyot Tribe, California
(previously listed as Table Bluff
Reservation—Wiyot Tribe).
