notice is published as part of the

DATES:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the FBI
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of tribal partners
between 2018 and 2023, and finally on
November 8, 2023, in Shawnee,
Oklahoma. Conversations between the
ARAS, Osage Nation, and Quapaw
Nation continued after that point. On
December 4th, 2023, a decision was
made for the Quapaw to move forward
in affiliation with the human remains.
History and Description of the Remains
The Arkansas Archeological Survey
(ARAS) received a transfer from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 37 / Friday, February 23, 2024 / Notices
October 5, 2023, of human remains
recovered from a seizure in Indiana. At
an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, six
individuals were removed from
unknown areas in the Eastern Arkansas
Mississippi River Valley region.
Following their removal, the human
remains were transported to Indiana,
where they remained as part of a private
collection of Native American
antiquities and cultural heritage. In
April 2014, the human remains were
seized by the FBI as part of a criminal
investigation. The human remains
represent six individuals. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based upon the historical record, site
analysis, evidence obtained through
criminal investigation, osteological
analysis, and tribal consultation, the
ARAS believes that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and the Quapaw Nation.
