Description
Around 1962, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from 14DP2,
the Doniphan site, in Doniphan County,
KS, by an unnamed person. Around
1968, the unnamed person transferred
the human remains—a skull fragment—
to Les Hixon (Central Procurement
Division, Fort Leavenworth). In 1970,
Hixon transferred the human remains to
William Bass (who, at the time, was at
the University of Kansas. On October
18, 2019, Bass transferred them to the
UTK Anthropology Department (where
he had been since 1971). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
On May 20, 1970, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
PO 00000
Frm 00064

individual were removed from 14DP2,
the Doniphan site, in Doniphan County,
KS, by an unidentified person. At an
unknown date, these human remains
were transferred to William Bass, and
on October 18, 2019, Bass transferred
them to the UTK Anthropology
Department. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Doniphan site, 14DP2, is a welldocumented historic Kaw village and
burial site located at the confluence of
Independence Creek and the Missouri
River. The two individuals likely were
interred at the Doniphan site sometime
during the post-contact period. In 1724,
the Kansa, who are represented by the
present-day Kaw Nation, were recorded
as inhabiting the site.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: archeological,
historical, and geographical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and Kaw Nation, Oklahoma.
Requests for Repatriation

human remains in this notice must be
sent to the Responsible Official

repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian

for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.

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 and
Geography, Colorado State University,
Fort Collins, CO. The human remains
and associated funerary objects are
believed to have been removed from the
coastal region of Southern California.
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
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of
Anthropology and Geography
professional staff with the California
Native American Heritage Commission
and Dr. Wendy Teeter, UCLA
Repatriation Coordinator, and in
consultation with the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Mission Indians of the
Santa Ynez Reservation, California. The
Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation
(previously listed as San Manuel Band
of Mission Indians, California); two nonfederally recognized Indian groups: the
Juanen˜o Band of Mission Indians
Acjachemen Nation and the San Gabriel
Band of Mission Indians; and the Tii’at
Society—Traditional Council of Pimu, a
Tongva Community Organization were
invited to consult but did not
participate.
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from what is
reasonably believed to be the coastal
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
region of Southern California. The
human remains—an adult male—were
donated to the Department of
Anthropology and Geography before or
during 1990 by an unknown donor. The
human remains were given the number
90.4 (CSU NAGRPA Case #64).
Collection and archival work conducted
by Professors Dr. Jason LaBelle and Dr.
Ann Magennis between 2005–2010
failed to yield any additional
documentation regarding the remains of
this individual. No known individual
was identified. The 10 associated
funerary objects include four olivella
(Olivella biplicatta) marine shells, one
unmodified animal tooth fragment,
three bird (possibly Common raven,
Corvus corax) bones (including the
claw), and two sea mammal bones (one
identified as a harbor seal (Phoca
vitulina).
The human remains are reasonably
believed to be Native American based
on their physical attributes and the
associated funerary objects. The
associated funerary objects have a
geographic connection to the coast of
Southern California and indicate a
cultural affiliation to a coastal Indian
Tribe in the region.
Determinations Made by the
Department of Anthropology and
Geography, Colorado State University
Officials of the Department of
Anthropology and Geography, Colorado
State University 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(3)(A),
the 10 objects 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 Santa Ynez Band of Chumash
Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez
Reservation, California.
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 and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
