History and Description of the Remains

    In October 1903, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the area along Bonito Creek on the Fort 
Apache Reservation in Arizona, and were accessioned by The Field 
Museum. These human remains were removed by Charles Owen, Assistant 
Curator of Archaeology at The Field Museum, at some point during his 
two collecting trips to the reservation in 1901 and 1903. No further 
provenience or dating information is available. The human remains 
belong to a child of indeterminate sex between the ages of six and ten. 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.
    In October 1903, human remains representing at minimum eight 
individuals were removed from a cave site on the East Fork of the White 
River, 8 miles north of Fort Apache on the Fort Apache Reservation in 
Arizona, and were accessioned by The Field Museum. These human remains 
were removed by Charles Owen, Assistant Curator of Archaeology at The 
Field Museum, at some point during his two collecting trips to the 
reservation in 1901 and 1903. While there is historical information 
about known cave systems and archaeological work undertaken on the 
White River, including Owen's for The Field Museum, it is not possible 
to ascertain from which cave in particular the human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed. The cranial human remains 
present (which have been used to determine the number of individuals) 
belong to two individuals over the age of 50, one male and one 
indeterminable, two possible females aged 35 or older, a possible 
female between the ages of 20 and 40, and three children between the 
age of four and six, eight and ten, and eight and twelve, respectively. 
The post-cranial human remains present are commingled and do not 
necessarily represent additional individuals. The

[[Page 77010]]

human remains represent both juvenile/young adult and adult persons. No 
known individuals were identified. The four associated funerary items 
are one piece of unidentified tubular organic material, one piece of 
twisted fibers, one piece of plant fiber wrapped with bird feather 
stem, and circular shell or stone beads on twine.

Determinations Made by The Field Museum of Natural History

    Officials of The Field Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on Field Museum records and a 
physical inventory of the collection.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of a minimum of nine 
individuals of Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the four 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 25 U.S.C. 3001 (15), the land from which the 
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed is the tribal land of the White Mountain Apache Tribe of the 
Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to the White 
Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona.

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
