BILLING CODE 4312-GB-M DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains in the possession of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA.
The human remains were removed from an unknown location in Wisconsin. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology professional staff in consultation with representatives of Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota; Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota; and Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown site in Wisconsin (UPM# L-606-0605), by Dr. William C. Poole. At an unknown date, probably between 1830 and 1839, Dr.
Poole sent the remains to Dr. Samuel George Morton, President of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia as a contribution to his collection of human crania. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. From about 1830, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia provided storage space for much of Dr. Morton's collection, including the human remains, until his death in 1852. In 1853, the collection was purchased from Dr. Morton's estate and formally presented to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.
In 1966, Dr. Morton's collection, including the human remains, were loaned to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology until 1997, when the collection was formally gifted to the museum. The human remains have been identified as Native American based on the specific cultural and geographic attribution in the museum records. Collector's records, museum documentation, and published sources (Morton 1839, 1840, and 1849; Meigs 1857) identify the human remains as those of a female “Dacota” Sioux warrior of Wisconsin and date them to the Historic period, probably to the early 19th century.
Scholarly publications indicate that Wisconsin was an area settled by the Dakota groups during the early 19th century. The Dakota are the eastern group of the Sioux, and comprised of the Sisseton, the Wahpeton, and the Santee, who in turn are composed of the Wahpekute and Mdewakanton. Dakota descendants are members of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; and Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota. Officials of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. Officials of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota;
Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; and Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Dr. Richard M.
Leventhal, The Williams Director, University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 3260 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6324, telephone
(215)898-4050, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains to the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; and Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is responsible for notifying the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota; Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota; and Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota that this notice has been published. Dated: January 11, 2006. Sherry Hutt, Manager, National NAGPRA Program. [FR Doc. E6-1291 Filed 1-31-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural Item: Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item in the possession of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO, which meets the definitions of “sacred object” and “object of cultural patrimony” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural items. The National Park Service in not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The cultural item is a beaded button blanket called “Killerwhale Jumping Over the Reef Robe” (A.C. 11517). The garment in Tlingit language and usage is called a “robe,” and translated as a “button blanket” in English, and the two terms are used interchangeably to describe the cultural item. According to notes, an unknown woman at an unknown date made the robe in honor of the supernatural event depicted, for Gus'kooskaan, who had it until his death around 1880. From Gus'kooskaan, the robe was passed to Gusht'eiheen, who had it at his death around 1908. The robe was then passed to Daanaawu, Archie Bell, and then finally to Xaalgen, Annie Jacobs in 1942. In 1974, Annie Jacobs and Mark Jacobs, Sr., sold the robe to Michael R. Johnson, a collector and art dealer in Seattle, WA. In 1975, Mrs. Mary W. A. Crane purchased the robe from Mr. Johnson and gifted it to the Denver Museum of Natural History (now the Denver Museum of Nature & Science) to enhance the Crane American Indian Collection's Northwest Coast materials. The museum accessioned the robe into the collection later that same year. The male or female one-piece rectangular garment is worn as a robe draped around the shoulders over other clothing, with the continuous border at the top, the design centered on the back, and the bordered opening falling down the wearer's chest to the legs. The robe is made of black woolen cloth with a broad red woolen cloth top and side borders outlined on the inside with three rows of sewn-on pearl buttons. The button-and-bead design on the robe's dark woolen cloth depicts the Killerwhale clan ancestor jumping over a reef in Chatham Strait near the seafront of Angoon, AK. It is centered with a large outlined design of a dorsal-finned whale, in-filled with ribcage and crouched human figures, which curves over a humanoid face and floral motifs. The design is worked in white seed bead lane embroidery, a few yellow and purple bead outlines, large and small pearl buttons along the spine, and appliqued red cloth features outlined in beads. Edward K. Thomas, President of the Central Council Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, provided detailed written and photographic documentation of the robe's history as early as 1910 and its significance and ownership by the Dakl'aweidi clan. Mr. Thomas explained the clan's right to a particular killerwhale crest and clarified several crucial matters of crest ownership and use, and the function of designated caretakers of clan property. Ms. Lydia George, a representative of the Dakl'aweidi clan, of Killerwhale House, Angoon, AK, spoke of the story associated with the robe during a consultation and repatriation at the museum in June 1997. The cultural item is both a sacred object needed by traditional Native Alaskan leaders and an object of cultural patrimony. In depicting the clan crest, the Keet or Killerwhale, the robe embodies the Keet Yelk or Spirit of the Killerwhale, in particular, the Killerwhale Jumping Over the Reef. It bonds clan members in a kinship and spiritual relationship to Killerwhale, particularly to this Killerwhale event, and to their ancestors who paid for the crest. The object is required for the ceremonial rites conducted to renew and ensure the spiritual harmony of the Tlingit people. The robe is not owned by a single individual, instead there are designated caretakers of the robe, and it belongs to the clan as a whole, and therefore it could not have been alienated by a single individual. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the button blanket is a specific ceremonial object needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), the button blanket has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced between the sacred object/object of cultural patrimony and the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the sacred object/object of cultural patrimony should contact Dr. Steven Holen, Head of the Anthropology Department, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80205, telephone
(303)370-8261, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the sacred object/object of cultural patrimony to the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes on behalf of the Dakl'aweidi Clan of the Killerwhale House, Angoon, AK, may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is responsible for notifying the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes that this notice has been published. Dated: December 30, 2005 Sherry Hutt, Manager, National NAGPRA Program. [FR Doc. E6-1275 Filed 1-31-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items that are in the possession of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO, which meets the definitions of “sacred object” and “objects of cultural patrimony” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The ten cultural items are two Dilzini Gaan kilts, one of colored hide with tinklers and bells and the other of colored, beaded canvas (AC.4422 and A.C.8087F); two feathered caps, one made by Abner Kahn of hide with attached eagle and turkey feathers and the other made of buckskin with red cloth inlay, brass studs, and beads (AC.7620 and AC.10177); one man's cap of painted hide, beaded with shell and feather attachments (AC.4777); one Dilzini Gaan mask of black cloth surmounted by a wooden crown of eight fingers and a central rayed cross, painted white with red and blue designs (AC.7592); one pair of Dilzini Gaan boots of colored hide (AC.8087D and AC.8087E); one Dilzini Gaan leg band with tinklers and bells (AC.8087J); and one Dilzini Gaan concha belt of commerial leather with round silver conchas and attached beaded bag with tinklers (AC.8087G). Museum records show the items were purchased by Mary W.A. Crane and Frances V. Crane of The Crane Foundation from The Fred Harvey Company, Rex Arrowsmith, House of Six Directions, Forestdale Trading Post, and Taos Bookstore in New Mexico and Arizona from 1959 to 1966. In 1968, the cultural items were donated by The Crane Foundation to the Denver Museum of Natural History (now Denver Museum of Nature & Science). The cultural items are cataloged as North American Indian ethnographic objects of various Western Apache cultures. Museum accession, catalogue, and computer records, published sources, and consultation with The Western Apache NAGPRA Working Group indicate that the ten cultural items described above are from the Western Apache. The Dilzini Gaan objects have been illustrated and/or described in scholarly studies as styles used in traditional girls initiation ceremony by Gaan spirit impersonators. The masks, attire, and equipment are held in high regard in Western Apache society and are specifically needed for ongoing practices of traditional Apahce spiritual beliefs. Western Apache representatives identified each of the items with ongoing religious practice and their testimony was incorporated into museum catalogue identification and descriptions. The cultural items belong to the Western Apache as a group. There are no museum records that indicate the collectors from whom the objects were obtained had received voluntary consent for alienation from individuals or a group with authority as keepers of sacred materials. Therefore, the cultural items have been identified as fitting the definition of sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony. The Western Apache NAGPRA Working Group represents the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; and Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C) the ten cultural items described above are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the ten cultural items have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. Lastly, officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the ten sacred objects/objects of cultural patrimony and The Western Apache NAGPRA Working Group, as representatives of the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; and Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the ten sacred objects/objects of cultural patrimony should contact Dr. Steven Holen, Head of the Anthropology Department, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80205, telephone
(303)370-8261, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the ten sacred objects/objects of cultural patrimony to the Western Apache NAGPRA Working Group, representing the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; and Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is responsible for notifying the San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona; Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona; and Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona that this notice has been published.

E6-1279 Filed 1-31-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: Fort Collins Museum, Fort Collins, CO AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains in the possession of the Fort Collins Museum, Fort Collins, CO. The human remains were removed from unknown sites, but most likely from Larimer and other Colorado counties. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Fort Collins Museum professional staff in consultation with physical and forensic anthropologists and representatives of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah. At an unknown time, human remains representing a minimum of 13 individuals were donated to the Fort Collins Museum, Fort Collins, CO. According to museum records and the history of the institution's collections, the human remains were most likely removed from Larimer and/or surrounding counties. While specific provenience for the human remains is unknown, certain osteological evidence and dental characteristics suggest that the remains are of probable Native American ancestry and are believed to date to before 1880. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Traditional territorial evidence of Arapaho and Cheyenne occupation of Larimer County is documented on numerous maps, including “Indian Land Areas Judicially Established 1978.” The map, “Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas, and Linguistic Stocks,” establishes the presence of the Arapaho and Ute tribes in the area during the time of contact. The Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation map, “Estimated Tribal Territories in Colorado During the Late Nineteenth Century,” shows the presence of the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, and Kiowa tribes in all of eastern Colorado, including Larimer County. The Southern Ute Indian Tribe map, “Original Ute Domain,” includes Larimer County as a part of the original domain of the Utes. Through both oral tradition and written records, the Lakota were known to have been in Larimer County and other northern Colorado counties by at least the early 1800s. Furthermore, during consultations with official representatives of the culturally affiliated tribes, folklore, oral tradition, and geographical and historical evidence provided indicates that Larimer County is part of their traditional territory. In addition to musuem records, osteological evidence, and dental characteristics, oral traditions, archeological context, ethnographic research, and ethno-historic documents support cultural affiliation between the human remains and descendants of the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, and Ute tribes as members of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, South Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah. In April 2002, representatives of several of the above-mentioned Indian tribes were consulted regarding the cultural affiliation and disposition of the human remains in this notice, as well as the human remains of four individuals described in a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the **Federal Register** on September 12, 2002 (FR Doc. 02-23127, pages 57838-57839). Following the April 2002 consultation, a joint claim of cultural affiliation was authorized by nine tribes with two other tribes subsequently adding their signatures. The joint claim of cultural affiliation identified the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma as the lead Indian tribe in the repatriation of the four other individuals. Reburying of the individuals occurred in June 2003. Since that time, further consultations with the above-mentioned tribes have resulted in verbal agreement to support the joint claim of cultural affiliation and the request that the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma take the lead in repatriating and reburying the 13 individuals described in this notice. Officials at the Fort Collins Museum have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of 13 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Fort Collins Museum also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Dr. Brenda Martin, NAGPRA Coordinator, Fort Collins Museum, 200 Mathews Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524,
(970)416-2720, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains to the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. Fort Collins Museum is responsible for notifying the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico, & Utah that this notice has been published.

ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains in the possession of the Fort Collins Museum, Fort Collins, CO. The human remains were most likely removed from Death Valley, Inyo County, CA. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Fort Collins Museum professional staff in consultation with physical and forensic anthropologists and representatives of the Big Pine Band of Owens Valley Paiute Shoshone Indians of the Big Pine Reservation, California; Death Valley Timbi-Sha Shoshone Band of California; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe of the Duckwater Reservation, Nevada; Fort Independence Indian Community of Paiute Indians of the Fort Independence Reservation, California; Paiute-Shoshone Indians of the Bishop Community of the Bishop Colony, California; and Paiute-Shoshone Indians of the Lone Pine Community of the Lone Pine Reservation, California. On March 25, 1953, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were donated to the Fort Collins Museum, by Carl W. Swanson of Greeley, CO. Although the specific provenience of the human remains is unknown, according to museum records, Mr. Swanson stated at the time of his donation, that the skull was a “Skull from Death Valley, California.” In April 1999, Dr. Ann Magennis, Professor of Anthropology at Colorado State University, documented that the skull and the cranial morphology indicate that the human remains are most probably of Native American descent. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Death Valley, CA, is within the traditional territory of the Paiute and Shoshone people. Furthermore, supporting osteological evidence, oral traditions, archeological and ethnographic research, and ethnohistoric documents support a cultural affiliation of the human remains to the Paiute and Shoshone tribes. Descendants of the Paiute and Shoshone from the Death Valley area are members of the Big Pine Band of Owens Valley Paiute Shoshone Indians of the Big Pine Reservation, California; Death Valley Timbi-Sha Shoshone Band of California; Duckwater Shoshone Tribe of the Duckwater Reservation, Nevada; Fort Independence Indian Community of Paiute Indians of the Fort Independence Reservation, California; Paiute-Shoshone Indians of the Bishop Community of the Bishop Colony, California; and Paiute-Shoshone Indians of the Lone Pine Community of the Lone Pine Reservation, California.

A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe), and the Tinoqui-Chalola Council of Kitanemic and Yowlumne Tejon Indians, a non-federally recognized Indian group. In 1940 or 1941, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from the Cole's Levee site in Kern County, CA, by Ralph Beals and a University of California, Los Angeles field class to salvage a cremation mortuary area discovered in oil fields. The collection was accessioned by the University of California, Los Angeles in 1953. No known individuals were identified. The 90 associated funerary objects are 1 serpentine bead, 3 projectile points, 3 olivella beads, 73 stone fragments, 3 bags of burned animal bone, 3 bags of shell fragments, and 4 utilized flakes. The artifacts are consistent with others documented as associated with the indigenous inhabitants of the area. The beads and projectile points associated with the burials date between Middle Period phase 5 and Late Period phase 1 (A.D. 900-1500). Lake Buena Vista is located within the traditional territory of the Yokut tribe. In addition, cremation was a burial custom in the Yokut ethnohistorical period. According to archeologists, the Yokut have occupied the territory around Tulare Lake and Buena Vista Lake for as long as two millennia. A representative of the Tinoqui-Chalola Council of Kitanemic and Yowlumne Tejon Indians (a non-federally recognized Indian group), identified the area as being within the traditional territory of the Yowlumne Band of Yokut Indians. Furthermore, tribal representatives from Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe) identified this site as being within the traditional territory of the Yokut people. Descendants of the Yokut are members of the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain Rancheria of California; Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation, California; and two non-federally recognized Indian groups, called the Wuchumni Tribe of Yokut Indians and Yowlumne Band of Indians. Officials of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of three individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 90 objects described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain Rancheria of California; Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation, California; and two non-federally recognized Indian groups, called the Wuchumni Tribe of Yokut Indians and Yowlumne Band of Indians. The University of California, Los Angeles has received a claim from the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe) for the human remains and associated funerary objects from the Cole's Levee site. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Diana Wilson, UCLA NAGPRA Coordinator, Office of the Vice Chancellor, Research, University of California, Los Angeles, Box 951405, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1405, telephone
(310)825-1864, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe) may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History is responsible for notifying the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe); Table Mountain Rancheria of California; Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation, California; Wuchumni Tribe of Yokut Indians (a non-federally recognized Indian group); and Yowlumne Band of Indians (a non-federally recognized Indian group) that this notice has been published.

E6-1271 Filed 1-31-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains in the control of San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA. The human remains were removed from an unknown site in Stanislaus County, CA. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by San Francisco State University professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe). On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown site (CA-Sta-UNK) in Stanislaus County, CA. The human remains were encased in a soil matrix inside a box marked “Sta-?” indicating removal from a Native American archeological site in Stanislaus County. In addition, the morphology of the malar, or cheekbone area, indicates Native American ancestry. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on ethnography and consultation with the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California and the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California, it has been determined that Stanislaus County is within the historically documented territory of the Northern Valley Yokut and Central Sierra Miwok tribes, represented by the present-day Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California and the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California. Officials of San Francisco State University have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. Officials of San Francisco State University also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California and the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California. The Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California has claimed the human remains from site Ca-Sta-UNK. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Jeff Fentress, NAGPRA Coordinator, Department of Anthropology, San Francisco State University, 1600 Holloway Ave., San Francisco, CA 95132, telephone
(415)338-3075, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains to the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. San Francisco State University is responsible for informing the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California and the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California that this notice has been published. Dated: January 9, 2006. Sherry Hutt, Manager, National NAGPRA Progam. [FR Doc. E6-1274 Filed 1-31-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: University of Colorado Museum, Boulder, CO AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects in the possession of the University of Colorado Museum, Boulder, CO. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Adams, Arapahoe, Baca, Boulder, Fremont, Huerfano, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Saguache, Sedgwick, and Yuma Counties, CO. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary objects was made by University of Colorado Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; the Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; and Crow Tribe, Montana. In addition, professional staff from the museum were participant-observers in consultations involving the Colorado Historical Society and representatives from the Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah. In 1963, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Michaud site A
(5AH2)by William G. Buckles of the Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder as part of an archeological salvage operation. The site is located on private land adjacent to Bijou Creek, southwest of the town of Byers, Arapahoe County, CO. The human remains were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individual was identified. The 11 associated funerary objects are 5 subrectangular handstones, 2 unshaped hammerstones, 2 chipped stone choppers, 1 shallow-basin sandstone milling stone, and 1 animal bone. A single radiocarbon date of 1,800100 years B.P. (2 B.C.-A.D. 532 calibrated) was obtained from the burial material from the Michaud site A in 1966. This date, as well as the styles of projectile points, cord-marked pottery sherds, and other chipped stone and groundstone in nearby occupation debris, support a determination of Native American origin and an occupational date range of A.D. 150-1150, the Early Ceramic period of the Late Prehistoric stage, a period associated with Plains Woodland cultures of this region. In 1966, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Crenshaw site
(5AH4)by John J. Wood, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. The site is on a tributary of West Bijou Creek, south of the town of Strausburg, Arapahoe County, CO. Museum records indicate that the site was excavated with the permission of the private landowner as part of an archeological salvage operation. The collections were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individual was identified. The five associated funerary objects are one piece of burned sandstone, one piece of quartzite, one piece of chalcedony, one unidentified stone, and one charcoal sample from the burial pit. Based on the archeological materials found in the strata above the burial and the manner of burial, the burial at the Crenshaw site is determined to be Native American. The extreme wear on the teeth of this individual suggests their use as a tool, which is characteristic of prehistoric Native American peoples. The burial most likely dates to sometime in the Late Archaic or Early Ceramic period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 1150) based on the artifacts present. During these time periods, the area was inhabited by Plains Woodland cultures. In 1966, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Witkin Burial site
(5AH6)near Byers, Arapahoe County, CO, by the county coroner after discovery during residential construction. The human remains were transferred to the Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Two lithic bifaces, a bone awl, and a bone scraper were found with the burial when it was discovered, but these items do not appear to have been with the human remains when they were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991 and, apparently were lost sometime between 1966 and 1991. A single radiocarbon date of 3,19080 years B.P. (1627-1264 B.C. calibrated) was obtained from the Witkin burial in 1966, indicating that the human remains are Native American in origin. The radiocarbon date is consistent with a very late Middle Archaic chronological placement. Given the clear evidence of Late Archaic and Early Ceramic period material culture in other areas of the site, the burial is more securely dated to the Late Archaic (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150). In 1963, human remains of a minimum of 11 individuals were removed from the Hazeltine Heights burial site
(5AM3)by Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder staff William G. Buckles and George H. Ewing, as part of a salvage operation arranged with the permission of the landowner. The Hazeltine Heights site is on private property close to the South Platte River between Denver and Brighton, Adams County, CO. The human remains were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individuals were identified. The 20 associated funerary objects are 1 necklace of olivella shell beads, 5 individual olivella shell beads, 1 projectile point, 1 stone pendant, 2 groups of beads manufactured from both small mammal and bird bone (probably necklaces), 9 Unio shell pendants, and 1 sample of green-stained soil found close to one of the burials. Based on stratigraphy, the burials are approximately contemporaneous. A single radiocarbon date of 1,305100 years B.P. (A.D. 566-971 calibrated) was obtained from one of the human bones in 1963, indicating that the human remains are Native American in origin. All of the Hazeltine Heights site burials date to the Early Ceramic period (A.D. 150-1150) of the Late Prehistoric stage, the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1964, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Byers Burial site
(5AM4)by John J. Wood, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. The site is between Byers and Hoyt, Arapahoe County, CO, on the west side of Bijou Creek. Surface materials reported by local residents included cord-impressed pottery and projectile points, but chipped stone debitage was the only surface debris observed when Dr. Wood excavated the burial. The human remains and other materials were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individual was identified. The one associated funerary object is a sample of burned sand and sandstone from the burial pit. Material culture at the Byers Burial site identifies the occupants as Native American and dates the occupation to the Early Ceramic period (A.D. 150-1150) of the Late Prehistoric stage, the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1964, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from site 5BA1 by Joe Ben Wheat as part of a University of Colorado Museum archeological survey of Baca County, CO. The burial was within a larger, possibly multi-component site located on several terraces of Bear Creek. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Other artifacts from the site identify the occupants as Native American and date the occupation to sometime between the Late Archaic and Early Ceramic periods (1000 B.C.-A.D. 1150). The Early Ceramic is the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1961, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Paley site (5BL56) by William Buckles, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. The site is in Cow Creek Valley close to the Meeker Park Lodge, Boulder County, CO. After securing permission from the private landowner, Dr. Buckles excavated the burial. The human remains were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individual was identified. The 16 associated funerary objects are 3 charcoal samples, 4 crystalline stones, 4 pieces of chipped stone, 1 biface, 1 group of shell bead fragments, 1 mano, 1 milling stone, and 1 antler fragment. The individual was buried in a tightly flexed position. Based on the associated funerary objects and the burial style, the human remains are determined to be Native American and date to either the Late Archaic or Early Ceramic period of the Late Prehistoric stage (1000 B.C.-A.D. 1150). The Early Ceramic period is the period during which the Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1964, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from the Peavy rock shelter (5LO1), Logan County, CO, by John J. Wood, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. The rock shelter is located on the south side of an isolated butte in the extreme northwestern corner of Logan County. The human remains were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individuals were identified. The six associated funerary objects are two lots of animal bone, two charcoal samples, one chipped stone flake tool, and one lot of chipped stone debris. Based on the associated material culture and the site date, the human remains are determined to be Native American. One burial at the rock shelter is stratigraphically associated with the main occupation of the shelter, which dates to approximately 800 years ago based on a radiocarbon date of 810125 B.P. (A.D. 996-1405 calibrated) and associated cord-marked sherds. The second burial may slightly postdate this occupation, based on the stratigraphic placement of the burial pit, but is still within the Middle Ceramic period (A.D. 1150-1540). On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from site 5LR95, now within Horsetooth Reservoir, Larimer County, CO, by Edward Andrews. Mr. Andrews donated the remains to the Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder at an unknown date prior to 1991. The human remains were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Osteological characteristics of the human remains are consistent with identification of these burials as Native American. The burials most likely date to sometime between the Late Archaic and Protohistoric periods (1000 B.C.-A.D. 1860), based on the dates of nearby habitation sites. In 1964, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from the Hutcheson Burial site (5LR97) by David Breternitz and John J. Wood, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder with the landowner's permission. The Hutcheson burial site is on a terrace east of Buckhorn Creek, northwest of Loveland, Larimer County, CO. The human remains and other materials were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individuals were identified. The five associated funerary objects are two lots of bone beads, totaling almost one hundred beads, manufactured from bird bone humeri and small mammal bones; one lot of over forty bone beads; one small unmodified stone; and the midsection of one gray chert projectile point. At least two of the individuals were buried in a flexed position. A radiocarbon date of 1,805105 B.P. (A.D. 1-443 calibrated) was obtained in 1965 from one of the burials, identifying the individuals as Native American. Based on this date and the manner of burial, the site is chronologically placed in the Early Ceramic period (A.D. 150-1150) of the Late Prehistoric stage, the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1967, human remains representing a minimum of five individuals were removed from the Gahagan-Lipe site (5MR378), Morgan County, CO, by David Breternitz, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder, as part of an archeological salvage operation during residential construction activities. The human remains and other materials from the site were transferred from the Department of Anthropology to the University of Colorado Museum in 1991. No known individuals were identified. The four associated funerary objects are one fragment of a shell pendant, one deer ankle bone, one chipped stone graver, and one bird femur. An atlatl weight appears to have been associated with one of the burials but was lost before 1991. Based on the associated funerary objects and the burial style, the human remains are determined to be Native American. Burial practices exhibited by the Gahagan-Lipe burials are similar to patterns common in other Plains Woodland sites inhabited during the Early Ceramic period (A.D. 150-1150) in this part of Colorado. In 1963, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from a site on the Kenneth Walker farm in Morgan County, CO, by Joe Ben Wheat, University of Colorado Museum, and David Breternitz, Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder. The site is approximately 10 miles south of Fort Morgan, Morgan County, CO. No known individual was identified. The four associated funerary objects are projectile points and point fragments. Field reports note several sherds, no longer present in the collections. The individual was buried in a flexed position. Based on the recorded presence of pottery at the site, the styles of projectile points, and the manner of burial, the human remains are Native American and most likely date to the Early Ceramic period (A.D. 150-1150) of the Late Prehistoric stage, the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. In 1948, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from a site on the Sidel Ranch near Sedgwick, Sedgwick County, CO, by unknown individuals. The human remains were examined by the Sedgwick County coroner and then reported to the University of Colorado Museum. The human remains were donated to the museum in 1948. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual was buried in a flexed position. Osteological characteristics and manner of burial indicate that the human remains from Sidel Ranch are prehistoric Native American. Based on the location and manner of burial, the human remains are dated to between the Late Archaic (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150) and the Protohistoric (A.D. 1540-1860) periods. In 1954, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from a site on the Soucie Ranch, west of Longmont, Boulder County, CO, by Joe Ben Wheat, University of Colorado Museum, and were donated to the museum by Mr. Soucie the same year. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The body was in a flexed position, and limestone rocks covered the skull. Based on osteological characteristics and style of burial, the human remains are Native American. The human remains date to between the Late Archaic (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150) and the Protohistoric (A.D. 1540-1860) periods. In 1951, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown area near the old toll station in Boulder Canyon, Boulder County, CO. The human remains were either transferred to the University of Colorado Museum by another University of Colorado department or anonymously donated prior to 1993. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on dental characteristics and burial location in an unmarked grave far from historic settlements, the human remains are determined to be Native American. The human remains date to 1000 B.C.-A.D. 1860, based on the fact that most Native American burials in this area post-date the Late Archaic period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150). On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from unknown locations in Boulder County, CO, by unknown individuals. The limited museum records suggest that two individuals were removed from locations near Sugarloaf Road, west of Boulder, CO. In 1983, the human remains were donated to the University of Colorado Museum by an unknown individual. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Osteological characteristics and burial in unmarked graves indicate that the human remains are of Native American origin. Dental wear, the poor preservation of some of the human remains, and the fact that the individuals were found in unmarked graves all indicate that the burial date to a time before A.D. 1860, and probably post-date the Late Archaic period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150). In about 1951, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location near the Upper St. Vrain River, Boulder County, CO, by Elmer Johnson. At an unknown date between 1951 and 1993, the human remains were either transferred to the University of Colorado Museum by another department or were anonymously donated to the museum. No known individual was identified. The one associated funerary object is an animal bone. Osteological characteristics and burial in an unmarked grave indicate that the human remains are of Native American origin. Dental wear, the poor preservation of the human remains, and the fact that the individual was found in an unmarked grave indicate that the burial dates to a time before A.D. 1860, and most likely post-dates the Late Archaic period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150). At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from unknown locations in the Red Canyon-Copper Mountain region, Fremont County, CO, by Bert Roberts. Mr. Roberts donated the human remains to the University of Colorado Museum sometime probably prior to 1940. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Osteological characteristics and burial in an unmarked grave indicate that the human remains are of Native American origin. Dental wear, the poor preservation of the human remains, and the fact that the individuals were found in unmarked graves indicate that the burials date to a time before A.D. 1860, and most likely post-date the Late Archaic period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150). On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location in Huerfano County, CO, called “Walsenburg Cave.” The human remains were anonymously donated to the University of Colorado Museum about 1960. No known individual was identified. The three associated funerary objects are one blanket of leather and feathers and two flaked lithic tools. Associated funerary objects and manner of burial indicate that the human remains are of Native American origin. It is likely that the burial dates to within the last 2,000 years based on the relatively good preservation of the leather and feather blanket. On an unknown date, prior to 1916, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location near Berthoud, Larimer County, CO, by F.A. Frazier. The human remains were found in association with a minimum of two other individuals, whose remains were not removed. Mr. Frazier donated the human remains to the University of Colorado Museum in 1916. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The nature of the burial, dentition, and the fact that multiple burials were found close to one another all suggest that the burial is of a Native American individual and dates to between the Late Archaic (1000 B.C.-A.D. 150) and the Protohistoric (A.D. 1540-1860) periods. In or about 1936, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location near Loveland, Larimer County, CO, by W.A. Rhinehart. The human remains were donated to the University of Colorado Museum by Nancy Byers in 1979. No known individual was identified. The three associated funerary objects are one bone bead bracelet and two shell disks. Based on the fact that the burial was found in an unmarked grave with bone beads and shell disks, the human remains are determined to be Native American in origin. The burial most likely dates to the last 3,000 years based on artifacts and the fact that most Native American habitations in this region date to the Late Archaic or Late Prehistoric periods. On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from an unknown location near Weldona, Morgan County, CO, by an unknown individual. On an unknown date prior to 1990, the remains were donated to the University of Colorado Museum by Mr. McPerry. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The limited information available for the Weldona burials suggests that the human remains came from unmarked graves and that no historic items were associated with the burials. This suggests that the individuals are Native American and that the burials pre-date A.D. 1860. In 1954, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location in Saguache County, CO, by M.F. Boyd. The remains were donated to the museum the same year by Mrs. M.F. Boyd. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Osteological characteristics and burial pattern suggest that the human remains are Native American in origin. Based on limited information on a mano and a metate reportedly found close to the burial in 1954, but not present in the collections, it appears that the burial dates to approximately the Late Prehistoric stage (A.D. 150-1540), the period during which Plains Woodland cultures occupied this region. On an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown location in Yuma County, CO, by Bud Knapp. Sometime prior to 1991, the human remains were donated to the University of Colorado Museum by Henry H. Hoskin of Burlington, CO. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on limited museum records, it appears that the burial was found in an unmarked grave, suggesting that the human remains are Native American and probably date to a time prior to A.D. 1860. Geographic, historic, and linguistic evidence suggest historical continuity between early occupations in eastern Colorado and a number of tribes currently residing outside Colorado. Archeological evidence suggests at least partial historical continuity in occupation of eastern Colorado from the Late Archaic through the Middle Ceramic period, and that there are non-specific continuities between occupations in eastern Colorado in the Middle Ceramic period and historically known tribes that reside outside of Colorado. Oral traditions and Native American expert opinion indicate that strong historical connections exist between these same tribes and occupations in eastern Colorado. Geographical, historic, and linguistic evidence and references include a series of authoritative studies. The Indian Land Areas Judicially Established 1978 Map indicates the legal claim to lands in eastern Colorado based upon traditional use for the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. The Early Indian Tribes, Culture Areas, and Linguistic Stocks Map establishes the presence of the Ute throughout much of Colorado at the time of contact with Europeans. The Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation map of Native American distribution in Colorado establishes the presence of the Ute, Lakota, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Apache, and Pawnee in eastern and central Colorado in the nineteenth century. The Native Languages and Language Families of North America map in Handbook of North American Indians: Languages (vol. 17; Smithsonian Institution 1996) establishes the presence in the region at contact of Uto-Aztecan (Ute, Comanche), Algic (Arapaho, Nawathinehena), and Nadene (Jicarilla Apache) language families. Additionally, information in The Handbook of North American Indians: Plains (vol. 13; Smithsonian Institution 2001) and Colorado Prehistory (Arkansas River Basin and Platte River Basin; Colorado Council of Professional Archeologists, 1999) suggests occupation, use, and historical connections to this area by Sioux, Hidatsa, Arikara, and Mandan tribes. Moreover, geographic, historic, and linguistic references indicate considerable movement of tribal groups within and through the eastern Colorado region; that is, many tribes located outside the region in historic times are known to have moved through and occupied the region. Linguistic evidence of discontinuous distributions of Uto-Aztecan (Ute, Comanche), Algic (Arapaho, Mawathinehena), Kiowa-Tanoan, and Caddoan (Hidatsa, Pawnee) language families indicate that these movements occurred long before historic records. Anthropological resources suggest knowledge and use of the region, prior, during, and after movements by all of the named tribes. Archeological evidence, summarized above, indicates that Native American habitation in eastern Colorado spanned the Late Archaic to Protohistoric periods (1000 B.C. to A.D. 1860). Archeological evidence suggests at least partial historical continuity from Late Archaic through the Plains Woodlands Early Ceramic periods (1000 B.C. to A.D. 1150) and, with less specific evidence, through the Middle Ceramic period (A.D. 1150 to 1540). Based on archeological evidence, it is clear that Plains Woodland cultures are ancestral to many modern tribes of the northern, central, and southern Great Plains, but specific affiliations between the various expressions of Plains Woodland culture and Middle Ceramic period culture and particular modern tribal groups are difficult to make. Aceramic traditions persisted in the mountainous regions, extending eastward across eastern Colorado into the Great Plains until Protohistoric period. These aceramic traditions probably represent ancestral Ute and Jicarilla Apache tribes, as well as aceramic occupations of Plains Woodland and later, historically related, Plains tribes. It is not possible to make specific affiliations between these varied aceramic traditions and particular modern tribal groups. Oral history obtained during consultations indicates the presence of historical continuity in Native American occupation of eastern Colorado from the Late Archaic through Protohistoric periods. In consultations with potentially affiliated groups, the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah, all offered information from histories and oral traditions to place their tribes prehistorically along the Front Range and adjacent plains of eastern Colorado. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Crow Tribe of Montana; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; and Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota offered traditional information that substantiated that they had occupied this area of the Plains prior to European settlement. Officials of the University of Colorado Museum have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of a minimum of 47 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the University of Colorado Museum also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 79 objects described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the University of Colorado Museum have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Crow Tribe of Montana; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Tribe of New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Steve Lekson, Curator of Anthropology, University of Colorado Museum, Henderson Building, Campus Box 218, Boulder, CO 80309-0218, telephone
(303)492-6671, before March 3, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Crow Tribe of Montana; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Tribe of New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. University of Colorado Museum is responsible for notifying the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Crow Tribe of Montana; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Tribe of New Mexico; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah.

The public record for this review may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket
(EDIS)at *http://edis.usitc.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Background.* —On November 16, 1994, the Department of Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of fresh garlic from China (59 FR 59209). Following five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective March 13, 2001, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty order on imports of fresh garlic from China (66 FR 14544). The Commission is now conducting a second review to determine whether revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. It will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct a full review or an expedited review. The Commission's determination in any expedited review will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. *Definitions.* —The following definitions apply to this review:
(1)*Subject Merchandise* is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year review, as defined by the Department of Commerce.
(2)The *Subject Country* in this review is China.
(3)The *Domestic Like Product* is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determination, the Commission found three separate Domestic Like Products consisting of fresh garlic, dehydrated garlic, and seed garlic corresponding with the broader scope of the original investigation. However, the Commission found that the domestic industries producing garlic for dehydration and seed garlic were neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of the subject imports from China. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Like Product differently in the original determination. In its full five-year review determination, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all fresh garlic.
(4)The *Domestic Industry* is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determination, the Commission found three domestic industries consisting of the domestic producers of fresh garlic, the domestic producers of dehydrated garlic, and the domestic producers of seed garlic to coincide with the three Domestic Like Products. The Commission also found that crop tenders were not members of the Domestic Industry. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently in the original determination. In its full five-year review determination, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all producers of fresh garlic.
(5)An *Importer* is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. *Participation in the review and public service list.* —Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the review as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** . The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the review. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are reminded that they are required, pursuant to 19 CFR 201.15, to seek Commission approval if the matter in which they are seeking to appear was pending in any manner or form during their Commission employment. The Commission is seeking guidance as to whether a second transition five-year review is the “same particular matter” as the underlying original investigation for purposes of 19 CFR 201.15 and 18 U.S.C. 207, the post employment statute for Federal employees. Former employees may seek informal advice from Commission ethics officials with respect to this and the related issue of whether the employee's participation was “personal and substantial.” However, any informal consultation will not relieve former employees of the obligation to seek approval to appear from the Commission under its rule 201.15. For ethics advice, contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 202-205-3088. *Limited disclosure of business proprietary information
(BPI)under an administrative protective order
(APO)and APO service list.* —Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make BPI submitted in this review available to authorized applicants under the APO issued in the review, provided that the application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** . Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the review. A separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO. *Certification.* —Pursuant to section 207.3 of the Commission's rules, any person submitting information to the Commission in connection with this review must certify that the information is accurate and complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In making the certification, the submitter will be deemed to consent, unless otherwise specified, for the Commission, its employees, and contract personnel to use the information provided in any other reviews or investigations of the same or comparable products which the Commission conducts under Title VII of the Act, or in internal audits and investigations relating to the programs and operations of the Commission pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3. *Written submissions.* —Pursuant to section 207.61 of the Commission's rules, each interested party response to this notice must provide the information specified below. The deadline for filing such responses is March 23, 2006. Pursuant to section 207.62(b) of the Commission's rules, eligible parties (as specified in Commission rule 207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments concerning the adequacy of responses to the notice of institution and whether the Commission should conduct an expedited or full review. The deadline for filing such comments is April 17, 2006. All written submissions must conform with the provisions of sections 201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission's rules and any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of sections 201.6 and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 (November 8, 2002). Also, in accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or APO service list as appropriate), and a certificate of service must accompany the document (if you are not a party to the review you do not need to serve your response). *Inability to provide requested information.* —Pursuant to section 207.61(c) of the Commission's rules, any interested party that cannot furnish the information requested by this notice in the requested form and manner shall notify the Commission at the earliest possible time, provide a full explanation of why it cannot provide the requested information, and indicate alternative forms in which it can provide equivalent information. If an interested party does not provide this notification (or the Commission finds the explanation provided in the notification inadequate) and fails to provide a complete response to this notice, the Commission may take an adverse inference against the party pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act in making its determination in the review. *Information To Be Provided in Response to This Notice of Institution:* As used below, the term “firm” includes any related firms.
