ADDRESSES: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:33 May 10, 2024 Jkt 262001 Based on the information available, human remains representing at least 14 individuals have been reasonably identified. At minimum 14 individuals were believed to be removed between 1950 and 1980 from an unknown number of archaeological sites by avocational archaeologists associated with the Chenango Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association (formally the Chenango Archaeological Society). The relationship between Theodore Whitney, an avocational archaeologist that donated materials and Ancestral remains to LMA, and the avocational Archaeologists in the Chenango Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association (formally the Chenango Archaeological Society), along with the identified burials published in the Chenango Chapter bulletin, link these individuals to the Ancestral land of the Oneida Indian Nation. To date, the Ancestors removed from these sites have not been accounted for in other NAGPRA Inventories or past repatriations. Geographical affiliation from the Chenango Chapter excavations are consistent with the archaeologically documented territory of the Oneida Indian Nation. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice. Determinations The LMA has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of at least 14 individuals of Native American ancestry. • There is a reasonable connection between the human remains described in this notice and the Oneida Indian Nation.

Abstract of Information Available

    Based on the information available, human remains representing at

Society). The relationship between Theodore Whitney, an avocational 
archaeologist that donated materials and Ancestral remains to LMA, and 
the avocational Archaeologists in the Chenango Chapter of the New York 
State Archaeological Association (formally the Chenango Archaeological 
Society), along with the identified burials published in the Chenango 
Chapter bulletin, link these individuals to the Ancestral land of the 
Oneida Indian Nation. To date, the Ancestors removed from these sites 
have not been accounted for in other NAGPRA Inventories or past 
repatriations. Geographical affiliation from the Chenango Chapter 
excavations are consistent with the archaeologically documented 
territory of the Oneida Indian Nation.
