SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of UTK and the ARC,
and additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including
the results of consultation, can be found
in the inventory or related records. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
two individuals from two distinct sites
have been reasonably identified. The
four associated funerary objects are one
lot of two lots of faunal remains, one lot
of ceramics, and one lot of lithics.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from site 39BK101, near Lake Campbell
in Brookings County, South Dakota.
These remains were exposed by animal
activity in 1954 and removed from the
site by a homeowner named Searles.
They were taken to ‘‘State College’’
(possibly South Dakota State
University), after which they were
presumably transferred to the South
Dakota State Archaeological Research
Center (ARC). The ARC sent the remains
to UTK for inventory in 1987. After the
inventory project was completed, most
of the remains were returned to the ARC
and repatriated under South Dakota
state law; however, a few bone
fragments retained by UTK were found
in the Department of Anthropology
collections in 2021. No associated
funerary objects are present at UTK;
however, the ARC retained three lots of
associated funerary objects. These are
one lot of faunal remains, one lot of
ceramics, and one lot of lithics. The
associated funerary objects were not
treated with any type of hazardous
chemicals/substances nor treated with
any type of preservation agent or
chemical; however, the ceramic and
PO 00000
Frm 00104
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

lithic lots are marked with the site
number and accession number.
In 1981, human remains were
removed from the Hilde Gravel Pit
(39LK7) in Lake County, South Dakota.
The remains were found falling to the
bottom of a gravel pit and reported to
local law enforcement. They were
removed from the site by Adrian
Hannus of the Center for Western
Studies at Augustana College and sent
to John B. Gregg at the University of
South Dakota School of Medicine for
inventory. Gregg likely transferred the
remains back to Hannus after analysis.
Hannus probably transferred the
individual to the ARC. The ARC sent
the remains to the UTK Department of
Anthropology for inventory in 1987.
Most of the remains were returned to
the ARC after completion of the
inventory project and repatriated under
South Dakota state law; however, bone
fragments and teeth representing 1
individual were retained by UTK and
were found in the Department of
Anthropology collections in 2021. No
associated funerary objects are present
at UTK: however, the ARC retained one
lot of associated funerary objects. This
is one lot of faunal remains. The
associated funerary objects were not
treated with any type of hazardous
chemicals/substances nor treated with
any type of preservation agent or
chemical.
These human remains and objects
come from Brookings County and Lake
County, SD. These counties are part of
the treaty lands of the Santee Sioux
(today both the Flandreau Santee Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota, and the Santee
Sioux Nation, Nebraska), as established
in Executive Orders in 1867 and 1869.
The human remains were not treated
with any type of hazardous chemicals/
substances, nor treated with any type of
preservation agent or chemical.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical location or acquisition
history of the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice.
Determinations
The UTK and the ARC have
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The four objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of

death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Flandreau Santee
Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in
this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests
for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after May 13, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
UTK and the ARC must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. UTK and the ARC
are responsible for sending a copy of
this notice to the Indian Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
