History and Description of the Remains

    At unknown dates, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were removed from unknown sites in Central Virginia by 
Colonel Wirt Robinson. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, 
Colonel Robinson collected human remains and artifacts from multiple 
Virginia counties, including Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell, 
and Nelson. In 1940, the collection was purchased from Colonel 
Robinson's widow by the National Park Service and placed with Colonial 
National Historical Park's Jamestown museum collection. During the 
study, evaluation, and cataloging of the collection by the University 
of Virginia, several human remains were discovered. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    In 2000, the Wirt Robinson Collection was loaned to the Monacan 
Indian Nation and analyzed by Dr. Jeffrey Hantman of the University of 
Virginia. Dr. Hantman, an authority on Monacan history and material 
culture, wrote that ``There can be no more appropriate place for this 
collection than with the Monacan Indian Nation.'' In 2002, osteologist 
Debra Gold of St. Cloud State University concluded that the 14 human 
bones and one human tooth represented two adults and one juvenile. In 
2008, the artifacts, none of which were determined to be associated 
funerary objects, were deaccessioned and transferred to the Monacan 
Indian Nation.
    All of the Virginia counties from which the human remains and 
artifacts were removed have been identified as Monacan ancestral 
territory.

Park Service, Colonial National Historical Park

Service, Colonial National Historical Park have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of three individuals 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 Monacan Indian Nation.

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 Jerri
