shared group identity between the

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian

University has determined that:

American ancestry.
• The six 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

group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
