Determinations Made by Canaveral National Seashore

    Officials of Canaveral National Seashore 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 eight individuals of 
Native American ancestry.

Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the Seminole Tribe of Florida

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
