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 under the control of
the Kodiak Historical Society, Kodiak,
AK. The human remains were removed
from Monashka Bay in Kodiak Island,
AK.
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 that has control of the
Native American human remains. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Kodiak
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Native Village of Afognak; Native
Village of Ouzinkie; Native Village of
Port Lions; and the Sun’aq Tribe of
Kodiak (previously listed as Shoonaq’
Tribe of Kodiak) (hereafter referred to as
‘‘The Consulted Villages’’).
History and Description of the Remains
During 1961–1962, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Monashka Bay site in Kodiak Island,
AK, by archeologist Donald Clark during
an archeological excavation funded by
the Kodiak Historical Society. The
fragmentary and incomplete skeletal
remains are from a prehistoric
archeological context found with
artifacts that represent late prehistoric
Alutiiq culture, ca. 2000–400 years BP.
As such, these are almost certainly the
remains of Alutiiq ancestors from the
period before Russian arrival. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Kodiak
Historical Society
Professional staff of the Kodiak
Historical Society 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 Native Village of
Ouzinkie and the Sun’aq Tribe of
Kodiak (previously listed as Shoonaq’
Tribe of Kodiak) (hereafter referred to as

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

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
Department of Anthropology, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Broome County,
NY.
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

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of
Anthropology, Cornell University
professional staff in consultation with
the Haudenosaunee Standing
Committee on Burial Rules and
Regulations and representatives of the
Oneida Indian Nation (previously listed
as Oneida Nation of New York);
Onondaga Nation; Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe (previously listed as St. Regis
Band of Mohawk Indians of New York);
and the Tuscarora Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
In August of 1964, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed near the site
of Onaquaga in Broome County, NY,
during the digging of a waterline ditch.
The property owner, Harry Springsteen,
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
notified the local sheriff. Subsequently,
Professor Kenneth A. R. Kennedy of
Cornell University was asked to provide
a forensic identification of the human
remains. By September 8, 1964,
Kennedy had completed a report that
concluded the human remains belonged
to a young adult male of Native
American ancestry. Whether the human
remains were transferred to Kennedy’s
laboratory immediately after their
removal or were temporarily held by the
Old Onaquaga Historical Society
(OOHS) is unclear, but correspondence
between R. Leone Jacob, then president
of the OOHS, and Kennedy in May of
1966 concluded that the human remains
would remain at Cornell University.
After Kennedy’s death in 2014, the
human remains were transferred to the
Department of Anthropology. Kennedy’s
original description of the human
remains did not note the presence of
additional skeletal remains belonging to
two subadults of indeterminate sex, one
of whom (represented by fragmentary
postcranial remains) was less than 20
years old and the other (represented by
a single bone) 4 years old or younger.
No known individuals were identified.
The 22 associated funerary objects are
three pottery sherds (two of which are
sand-tempered and cord-impressed),
one piece of leather, one deer first
phalanx, one deer radius fragment, one
large mammal skull fragment, one large
bird vertebra, one turtle scapula, one
acorn, one black walnut, five
unidentified seeds, two fragments of a
plaster-like material, and four fragments
of concrete or mortar.
Based on physical analysis and burial
location, the human remains are
determined to be Native American. The
site of Onaquaga was a large
multinational settlement located on the
banks of the Susquehanna River near
present-day Windsor, NY, in the
traditional territory of the Oneida Indian
Nation. Historical evidence indicates
that members of many Nations,
including the Oneidas, Tuscaroras, and
Mohawks, frequented this village, and
that other peoples likely took refuge
there, too. The Oneidas were the
primary occupants of Onaquaga in the
1600s and early 1700s, after which
Tuscaroras began to arrive in greater
numbers, followed by Mohawks. From
the available evidence, it is not possible
to conclusively determine the age of the
human remains relative to the historical
occupation of Onaquaga. The
association of cord-impressed ceramic
sherds, along with the presence of a
rock covering over the grave (noted in
a local news article at the time of
removal), present the possibility that the
