and Nebraska (hereafter referred to as
‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1980, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the area
of the Kaw River in northeastern
Kansas. In 2019, while moving their
collections, the Sierra Mono Museum
and Cultural Center discovered these
human remains in a box associated with
the Tettleton Wildlife Collection, which
the museum had acquired in 1982. The
box also contained an image of the
human remains and the words ‘‘Kaw
River’’ written on the back of the image.
The human remains belong to an
adult, possible female and probably 24–
30 years of age. The dental wear is
consistent for an individual of Native
American ancestry. The remains are
probably early historic or prehistoric in
date. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Sierra
Mono Museum and Cultural Center
Officials of the Sierra Mono Museum
and Cultural Center have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual 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 Tribes.
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 Christina
McDonald, Sierra Mono Museum and
Cultural Center, 33103 Road 228, North
Fork, CA 93643, telephone (559) 877–
2115, email monomuseum@gmail.com,
by July 26, 2021. After that date, if no
additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to The Tribes may
proceed.
The Sierra Mono Museum is
responsible for notifying The Tribes that
this notice has been published.
