Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs (BIA), and the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, Department of
Anthropology (UTK), have completed
an inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects and have
determined that there is a cultural
affiliation between the human remains
and associated funerary objects and
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations in this notice.
DATES: Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice may occur on or after
September 23, 2024.

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
four individuals have been reasonably
identified. The 10 associated funerary
objects are three lots of lithics, four lots
of ceramics, and three lots of faunal
remains.
These remains and objects were
removed from 25RH1, the Leary site, in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:23 Aug 22, 2024
Jkt 262001
Richardson County, Nebraska. There
have been numerous excavations of this
site, but these remains and objects were
likely removed in 1968, under the
direction of Alfred E. Johnson of the
University of Kansas (KU). Bulldozer
cutting along the terrace of the Nemaha
River exposed burials which were
‘‘salvaged’’ by Johnson in 1968. Based
on the information available, it is highly
likely that William Bass brought these
remains and two of the funerary objects
(one lot of ceramics and one lot of
faunal remains) from KU to UTK when
he began working in the Department of
Anthropology in 1971. However, some
of the associated funerary objects
remained at KU, including three lots of
lithics, three lots of ceramics, and two
lots of faunal remains. Some of the
human remains appear to have been
treated with an unknown preservative
and some have glue present.
25RH1 has been documented as an
Oneota culture site. This is supported
by anthropological, archeological,
linguistic, oral tradition, and other
relevant information or expert opinion,
including Native American traditional
knowledge. The Iowa Tribe of Kansas
and Nebraska is among the present-day
representatives of the Oneota culture.
This site is also located on the Iowa
Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska’s
reservation.

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

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
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after September 23, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the BIA 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. The BIA is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native
Hawaiian organizations identified in
this notice.
