Additional information on the determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the summary or related records held by the LMA. SUMMARY: Description In 1905 or 1906, two funerary objects were removed from a burial at the Moundville archeological site by Clarence Bloomfield Moore. The LMA has no knowledge concerning the whereabouts of the human remains in the burial. On an unknown date, the PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74443 LMA acquired these items from Moore. The unassociated funerary objects are one reconstructed and shell tempered Bell Plain ceramic bowl (16097) and a partially reconstructed and incomplete shell tempered Lamar Incised possible duck effigy bowl (16099). The Bell Plain bowl was recovered from the ground north of Mound C and was identified as Vessel No. 4 by Moore. The Lamar Incised bowl was recovered from the ground south of Mound D and were identified as Vessel No. 25 by Moore. Cultural Affiliation The cultural items 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: linguistic, oral traditional, geographical, kinship, biological, archeological, historical, and anthropological. In addition, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee has found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a cultural affiliation exists between human remains and funerary objects originating from, and adjacent to, the Moundville archeological site (1TU500) and the present-day Muskogean-speaking Indian Tribes. This finding was published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2022. Determinations Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the LMA has determined that: • The two cultural items objects 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. • There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural items and Muskogean-speaking Indian Tribes that include the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas (previously listed as AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; Jena Band of Choctaw Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM 05DEN1 74444 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2022 / Notices Brighton, Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations)); The Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; The Muscogee (Creek) Nation; and The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.
