Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from the Iyatayet site on the
northwestern shore of Cape Denbigh
and northwest of Shaktoolik, AK. The
human remains, which are estimated to
be at least 800 years old, were removed
by an unknown party, probably in the
1950s or 1960s, and were placed in the
collection of the Haffenreffer Museum of
Anthropology at Brown University in
Providence, RI. (The museum’s
sponsorship of multiple expeditions to
Alaska in the mid-20th century might
account for its custody of these human
remains.) The one associated funerary
object is one lot consisting of
unidentified faunal remains.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains 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: archeological and
oral traditional.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, BLM Alaska has
determined that:
