History and Description of the Remains

    On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from an unknown site in Manatee County, FL, by 
a park visitor. In 2003, these remains were discovered in the De Soto 
National Memorial archives. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In the 1940s and 1950s, human remains representing, at minimum, 
three individuals were removed from unknown sites in Manatee County, 
FL, by a park visitor. The remains were donated to De Soto National 
Memorial in 1997. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    Information from the collectors indicates that the remains were 
probably removed from Shaw's Point site. The Shaw's Point site is a 
midden containing materials from the Woodland to Mississippian period 
(circa 1000 B.C.-A.D. 1650).

Determinations Made by De Soto National Memorial

    Officials of De Soto National Memorial 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 and 
age.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of five individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 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 were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the Seminole Tribe of Florida 
(previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big 
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)).
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains were removed 
is the aboriginal land of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the 
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of 
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa 
Reservations)).
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains may be to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the 
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of 
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa 
Reservations)).

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization 
not identified in this notice that wish to request transfer of control 
of these human remains should submit a written request with information 
in support of the request to Jorge Acevedo, Superintendent, De Soto 
National Memorial, P.O. Box 15390, Bradenton, FL 34280, telephone (941) 
791-0458, email [email protected], by May 28, 2015. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the 
Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of 
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)) 
may proceed.
    De Soto National Memorial is responsible for notifying the 
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the Seminole Tribe of Florida 
(previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big 
Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)) that this notice
