    This notice corrects the cultural affiliation published in a Notice 
of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (65 FR 67757-67758, 
November 13, 2000). This correction is being made following additional

Correction

    In the Federal Register (65 FR 67757, November 13, 2000), column 3, 
paragraph 3, sentence 1 is corrected by substituting the following 
sentence:

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by 
University of Denver Department of Anthropology and Museum of 
Anthropology professional staff, a contract physical anthropologist, 
and the New Mexico State Archaeologist in consultation with 
representatives of the Colorado River Indian Tribes of the Colorado 
River Indian Reservation, Arizona and California; Hopi Tribe of 
Arizona; Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of 
Santo Domingo); Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (previously listed as the 
Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; and Pueblo of 
Tesuque, New Mexico (hereafter referred to as ``The Consulted 
Tribes'').

    In the Federal Register (65 FR 67757, November 13, 2000), column 3, 
paragraph 5, sentences 1-4 are corrected by substituting the following 
sentences:

    Pueblo Blanco (site LA 40) is a large Pueblo IV-period Ancestral 
Pueblo village on the west side of the Galisteo Basin. The evidence 
presented in consultations with the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Kewa 
Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of Santo 
Domingo); Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo 
of San Juan); Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; and Pueblo of Tesuque, 
New Mexico, supported by the ethnohistoric record and geographical 
and archeological evidence, demonstrates a cultural affiliation 
between Pueblo Blanco and the present day Pueblos who are the 
descendants of Ancestral Puebloan groups.

    In the Federal Register (65 FR 67758, November 13, 2000), column 1, 
paragraph 1, sentence 3 is corrected by substituting the following 
sentence:

    Lastly, officials of the University of Denver Department of 
Anthropology and Museum of Anthropology have determined that, 
pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), 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 Hopi Tribe of 
Arizona; Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of 
Santo Domingo); Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (previously listed as the 
Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti,
