Aboriginal Land
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice were
removed from a known geographic
location. This location is the aboriginal
land of one or more Indian Tribes. The
following information was used to
identify the aboriginal land: the Treaty
with the Chickasaw of 1816, the Treaty
with the Cherokee of 1816, and the
Indian Claims Commission (ICC)
Findings of Fact from April 4, 1970. The
two treaties indicate that the land from
which the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw
Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band
of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. The
ICC Findings of Fact indicate that the
land from which the human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed is also the aboriginal land of
the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas,
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, Kialegee
Tribal Town, Miccosukee Tribe of
Indians, Poarch Band of Creek Indians,
Seminole Tribe of Florida, The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation, The Seminole
Nation of Oklahoma, and the
Thlopthlocco Tribal Town.

Indian Tribes, Auburn University and
the National Forests in Alabama have
determined that:
• The human remains described in

remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The 38 objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
