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 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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 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 E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1
