closure of areas with low or no fluid
mineral potential to oil and gas leasing.
In the Proposed RMP, the BLM proposes
that recreational target shooting would
generally be allowed on BLM-managed
lands in the planning area, but to
protect the safety of visitors, target
shooting would continue to be
prohibited at certain rock-climbing
areas, trail networks, campgrounds, and
other high-use recreation sites. To
protect public safety near residences,
target shooting would not be allowed on
small BLM-administered parcels west of
Boulder that are interspersed with
private lands and numerous houses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
Two associated funerary objects were
removed from the Corn Hill site (19–
BN–144/145) in Truro, Barnstable
County, MA. In 2023, the Buttonwoods
Museum, Haverhill MA, transferred two
red ochre samples to the Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology to
facilitate repatriation. Fred Luce
collected the samples during his
excavation of the site in 1915. The
Robert S. Peabody Institute of
Archaeology previously published a
Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register (70 FR 16839–16840,
April 1, 2005) for human remains and
associated funerary objects from Corn
Hill, and they have already been
repatriated. The two associated funerary
objects listed in this notice are two red
ochre samples that most likely are
associated with the repatriated human
remains and funerary objects.
One associated funerary object was
removed from the Taylor Hill site (19–
BN–106) in Wellfleet, Barnstable
County, MA. In 2023, during
preparation for a building renovation,
personnel at the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology identified a
large stone axe from the Taylor Hill site;
a note with the axe indicates a funerary
association. The Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology previously
published a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register (70
FR 16839–16840, April 1, 2005) for
human remains and associated funerary
objects from Taylor Hill, and they have
already been repatriated. The one
associated funerary object listed in this
notice is a stone axe that most likely is
associated with the repatriated human
remains and funerary objects.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the Titicut site in Plymouth
County, MA. In 2022, during an
inventory, personnel at the Robert S.
Peabody Institute of Archaeology
identified additional human remains
and associated funerary objects from the
Titicut site, which had been excavated

by institute staff members in 1947. The
human remains of one individual were
reported in a previous Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register (60 FR 8733, February
15, 1995), and they have already been
repatriated. The human remains listed
in this notice consist of one tooth. The
one associated funerary object are the
remains of a dog that was interred near
the individual.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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: geographical,
archeological, linguistic, oral
traditional, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Robert S. Peabody
Institute of Archaeology has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The four 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.
• 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 the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribe, and the
Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head
(Aquinnah).

Description
In 1977, the Pick Museum purchased
10 false face protectors from the Cahokia
Mounds Museum Society, which had
purchased them from Iroqrafts, an
indigenous arts and crafts outlet located
on the Six Nations of the Grand River.
Pick Museum records indicate that the
maker was Hoˆwe’drangwus (‘‘He Keeps
Ice’’) from the Wolf Clan of the Cayuga
of the Six Nations of the Grand River,
based on the original Iroqrafts’ tags that
came with each protector. Nandell Hill,
the current owner of Iroqrafts, and
whose father was the owner of Iroqrafts
when the protectors were sold to
Cahokia, confirmed Hoˆwe’drangwus
(also known as Mark Sky) was a member
of the Wolf Clan of the Cayuga Nation
of the Six Nations of the Grand River,
and also stated she was a relation of
Hoˆwe’drangwus. Likewise, Miran Hill,
the Keeper of all wampum belts, funeral
remains, masks, and ceremonial items
for the Six Nations of the Grand River,
who knew Hoˆwe’drangwus, confirmed
he was from the Six Nations of the
Grand River. The 10 false face protectors
are sacred objects.
In 1981, the Pick Museum purchased
three false face masks from Desert
House Crafts in Tucson, Arizona. Pick
Museum records indicate the artist was
doChAn’dre (‘‘Breaking Daylight,’’ also
known as Gene Thomas), a member of
the Wolf Clan of the Onondaga of the
Six Nations of the Grand River. His
father, Hadaje’grenta (‘‘Flying Cloud,’’
also known as Jake Thomas) was a chief
and member of the Snipe Clan of the
Cayuga of the Six Nations of the Grand
River. Nandell Hill, the current owner of
Iroqrafts, provided the clan membership
and English names of doChAn’dre
(‘‘Breaking Daylight’’) and his father
