SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
four individuals have been identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present. These individuals were
PO 00000

removed from site 14CY27/40, the Luthi
site, in Clay County, Kansas by Floyd
Schultz in June 1925, and donated to
the University of Kansas (KU) in 1948.
14CY27/40 is a mound site with burials
on a knoll near the Republican River.
Ceramics removed from the Luthi site
were identified in previous research as
Plains Woodland and Hopewell,
suggesting the site dates to c. 200 BCE–
400 CE. Based on a past pattern of
practice, it is likely that William Bass
brought the remains from KU to UTK
when he began working there in 1971.
To our knowledge, no potentially
hazardous substances were used to treat
the remains.
Through Tribal consultation these
remains were identified as culturally
affiliated with the Northern Arapaho
Tribe of the Wind River Reservation,
Wyoming, the Kaw Nation, Oklahoma,
and the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma,
based off the following types of
information: expert opinion,
geographical information, and historical
information.
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 described
in this notice.
Determinations
UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of four individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and the Kaw Nation, Oklahoma;
Northern Arapaho Tribe of the Wind
River Reservation, Wyoming; and the
Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains 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

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after April 18, 2025. If
