Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 213 / Monday, November 8, 2021 / Notices
individuals (FLC #623A, #623B, #623C,
#623D, #623D, #623E, #623F, and
#623G) were removed from an unknown
location. When the human remains
came into the possession of Fort Lewis
College is unknown. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are one
greyware pottery sherd and one lithic
flake.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual (FLC #910) were removed
from an unknown location. When the
human remains came into the
possession of Fort Lewis College is
unknown. No known individuals were
identified. The 10 associated funerary
objects are three ladle handle fragments,
one white painted sherd, one red
painted sherd, four lithic flakes, and one
fragment of petrified wood or stone.
Based on the available information,
the land from which these human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed is not the ‘‘tribal land’’ of
an Indian Tribe or a Native Hawaiian
organization, or the ‘‘aboriginal land’’ of
an Indian Tribe pursuant to 43 CFR
10.11.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3006(c)(5) and
43 CFR 10.10(g)(2)(ii) and 10.16, the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Review Committee (Review
Committee) may make a
recommendation to the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary) for specific actions
for disposition of any human remains
and associated funerary objects not
already addressed in 43 CFR 10.11. In
April 2021, Fort Lewis College
requested that the Review Committee
consider a proposal to transfer control of
the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice
jointly to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
of the Southern Ute Reservation,
Colorado and the Ute Mountain Ute
Tribe [previously listed as Ute Mountain
Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah]. The
Review Committee carefully considered
this request at its July 7, 2021 meeting
and recommended to the Secretary that
the proposed transfer of control
proceed. An October 19, 2021 letter
transmitted the Secretary’s independent
review and concurrence with the
Review Committee that:
• Fort Lewis College consulted with
every appropriate Indian Tribe,
• None of the The Consulted and
Notified Tribes objected to the proposed
transfer of control to the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado and the Ute
Mountain Ute Tribe [previously listed as
Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain

Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, &
Utah], and
• Fort Lewis College may proceed
with the agreed-upon transfer of control
of the human remains and associated
funerary objects to the Southern Ute
Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute
Reservation, Colorado and the Ute
Mountain Ute Tribe [previously listed as
Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, &
Utah].
Transfer of control is contingent on
the publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.

College
Officials of Fort Lewis College have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

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), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11, the land
from which these human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed is not the ‘‘tribal land’’ of any
Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization, or the ‘‘aboriginal land of
any Indian Tribe.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.10(g)(2)(ii)
and 10.16, the disposition of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
will be to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
of the Southern Ute Reservation,
Colorado and the Ute Mountain Ute
Tribe [previously listed as Ute Mountain
Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation,
Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah].
