[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of the Shiloh Museum of 
Ozark History, Springdale, AR. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from Beaver Lake, Washington County, AR 
(Shiloh Site 3WA128).
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 
43 CFR 10.11(d). 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.

Museum of Ozark History professional staff in consultation with

[[Page 71839]]

representatives of The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage 
Tribe).

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1968, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Shiloh Site 3WA128 Burial 2 in Washington County, AR, 
by the Northwest Arkansas Archaeological Society (N.W.A.A.S.) and 
donated to Shiloh Museum. The N.W.A.A.S. donation is the complete human 
remains of a child about eight years of age. The human remains date 
from between 500 B.C. to A.D. 1500. There is no lineal descendent or 
culturally affiliated contemporary Indian tribe that can be determined. 
No known individuals were identified. The 20 associated funerary 
objects include four blades, six blade fragments, eight projectile 
points, one projectile point fragment, and one punch.

Determinations Made by the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History

    Officials of the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on determination of age of 
remains (500 B.C.-A.D.1500), burial site in a bluff shelter, and 
associated burial material.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 20 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.
     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.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to The Osage 
Nation (previously listed as the Osage Tribe).

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 and associated funerary objects should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Carolyn 
Reno, Shiloh Museum of Ozark History, 118 W. Johnson Avenue, 
Springdale, AR 72764, telephone (479) 750-8165, email 
[email protected], by December 17, 2015. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects to The Osage Nation 
(previously listed as the Osage Tribe) may proceed.
    The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is responsible for notifying The 
Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage Tribe) that this notice 
has been published.
