Agency Information Collection Activities; General Requirements for Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation Operations on Federal Lands, 38123-38124 [2021-15297]

Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 135 / Monday, July 19, 2021 / Notices shape, is much longer in length than the other two baskets. Lumholtz described this basket in his field notebook with the following entry: ‘‘Large medicine basket in which eagle plumes and other sacred paraphernalia of the lady Kei[illeg.] are kept. Made by an old woman, Papago, at Noolic rancheria, Comobabi Range. June 1910.’’ Lumholtz also wrote that ‘‘the cover is considered as the mat, on which [the basket] stands when in use at the solemn occasions.’’ According to Museum records, Lumholtz, collected the three arrow shaft smoothers and the one arrow shaft straightener ‘‘from the ancient cemetery near Cav-va-xiac Village, where [they were] deposited on a grave.’’ Information provided during consultation with the Tohono O’odham Nation indicates that ‘‘Cav-va-xiax Village’’ is presently known as Cobabi (Kaav Vavhia or Badger Well in O’odham) which is situated east of Santa Rosa, Arizona. According to O’odham custom, visitors to this historic site are required to leave an offering and given the nature of the burial items, it is likely that the arrow smoothers and straightener were associated with the burial site of an O’odham hunter or warrior. Based on the Museum’s records and consultation with representatives of the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona, the 12 baskets and one medicine man’s plume collected in Arizona and catalogued as Papago are culturally affiliated with the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona. Evidence from museum records, scholarly publications and information provided during consultation indicated that a basket became a ‘‘medicine basket’’ once the contents, such as artifacts or herbs, were placed inside. Only a medicine person would have been allowed to handle these kinds of baskets and no individual had the authority to sell them. The medicine and medicine basket belonged to families of medicine people and in some cases, would have been passed down to other members with a gift for healing. Even today, when a medicine person dies, some of their items are buried with them while others are left behind. Based on the Museum’s records and consultation with representatives of the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona, the four items removed from an ancient cemetery near Cav-va-xiac Village 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 to have been removed from a specific burial site of a Tohono O’odham individual. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:23 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 253001 Determinations Made by the American Museum of Natural History Officials of the American Museum of Natural History have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the three arrow shaft smoothers and one arrow shaft straightener 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(3)(D), the 12 medicine baskets and one medicine man’s plume described above have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the four unassociated funerary objects and 13 objects of cultural patrimony and the Tohono O’odham Nation 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 Nell Murphy, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, telephone (212) 769–5837, email nmurphy@amnh.org, by August 18, 2021. After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the four unassociated funerary objects and 13 objects of cultural patrimony to the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona may proceed. The American Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Tohono O’odham Nation of Arizona that this notice has been published. Dated: July 7, 2021.
