AGENCY:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and

Museum of Natural History has
completed an inventory of human
remains and has determined that there

SUMMARY:
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, four individuals were
removed from unknown location(s).
According to Museum records, these
human remains consisting of four crania
were part of a group of eighteen
unaccessioned individuals that had
been stored in a box labeled ‘‘Sun
Dance, Arapaho.’’ The Museum
contends, based on institutional history
E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM
30JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 19 / Monday, January 30, 2023 / Notices
and collections practices, that the box
was likely used previously for a
collection of Sun Dance materials,
which did not include human remains,
without being re-labeled. Some time
prior to 1985, catalog cards were
prepared for the eighteen individuals,
identifying them as ‘‘Arapaho?’’. During
a 1985–87 inventory, 12 of the 18
individuals were identified as
Basketmaker from San Juan County,
Utah, and as coming to the Museum as
part of the Lang Collection from the
University of Chicago’s Walker
Museum. The other six individuals
could not be identified. The Museum
determined these human remains to be
culturally unidentifiable due to a lack of
information. The Northern Arapaho
Tribe’s position is that the Museum’s
records were, at some point, sufficient
for the Museum to conclude that the
requested human remains were possibly
Arapaho, and that there is no extant
contrary evidence sufficient to overturn
this initial conclusion. The fact that
there is no present evidence could
simply be the result, in the Tribe’s view,
that the evidence establishing these
remains as Arapaho previously simply
didn’t survive. Accordingly, the
Northern Arapaho Tribe has requested
repatriation of four of these individuals.
No associated funerary objects are
present.

Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from unknown
geographic location(s). The evidence
from the Field Museum’s records
indicates that the human remains may
have come from either accession 694
(Arapaho materials from Wind River
Reservation, Wyoming), accession 777
(Sun Dance, Arapaho materials from the
Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation,
Oklahoma), or accession 1468
(Basketmaker material from San Juan
County, Utah).
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, the Field Museum has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of four individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and any
Indian Tribe.
• The human remains described in
