History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unnamed mound site in Graham County, 
AZ. In 1962, the remains were donated to the Western Archeological and 
Conservation Center by Edith Latham, a Midland City, AZ, collector. The 
remains consist of a cremation in a Mogollon bowl, which was likely a 
trade piece. No known individuals were identified. The one associated 
funerary object is a Mogollon bowl.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown site in Yavapai County, AZ. In 
1956, the remains were donated to the Western Archeological and 
Conservation Center by Dr. Cyril M. Cron, a Miami, AZ, collector. The 
remains consist of a cremation in a Salado type jar, which was likely a 
trade piece. No known individuals were identified. The one associated 
funerary object is a Salado type jar.

Determinations Made by Western Archeological and Conservation Center

    Officials of Western Archeological and Conservation Center have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on archeological context.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the two objects 
described in this notice 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. The National Park Service intends 
to convey the associated funerary objects to the tribes pursuant to 16 
U.S.C. 18f-2.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day 
Indian tribe.
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed is the aboriginal land of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort 
McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; 
Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian Reservation, Arizona; 
Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the 
Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico; 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; Yavapai-
Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona; and 
Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe (previously listed as the Yavapai-
Prescott Tribe of the Yavapai Reservation, Arizona).
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the 
Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma; Hualapai 
Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian Reservation, Arizona; Jicarilla 
Apache Nation, New Mexico; Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero 
Reservation, New Mexico; 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.
     Other credible lines of evidence, including relevant and 
authoritative governmental determinations and information gathered 
during government-to-government consultation from subject matter 
experts, indicate that the land from which the Native American human 
remains were removed is the aboriginal land of the Ak Chin Indian 
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona; Gila 
River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona; 
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the 
Salt River Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona; and 
Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to Ak Chin Indian 
Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
