ADDRESSES: Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum of Man, 1350 
El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 ext. 17, email 
bgarcia@museumofman.org.

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 San Diego Museum 
of Man, San Diego, CA. The human remains and associated funerary 
objects were removed from Long Island, Kodiak Island Borough, AK.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). 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 and associated funerary objects. The National 
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects was made by the San Diego Museum of Man professional staff in 
consultation with representatives of the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak 
(previously listed as the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq 
Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)).

History and Description of the Remains

    In the summer of 1968, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from Long Island, Kodiak Island Borough, AK. 
These remains were removed from a midden by amateur anthropologists 
from the Long Island Historical Society. The individual is an adult 
male. These remains and associated funerary objects were donated to the 
San Diego Museum of Man by Steve and Linda Gassaway in 1984. No known 
individuals were identified. The 2 associated funerary objects are 1 
slate hone and 1 lot of faunal remains.
    An examination of the human remains by San Diego Museum of Man 
physical anthropology professional staff in 1990 determined the 
individual to be of prehistoric native Alaskan origin. Archeological 
data indicate that modern Alutiiqs evolved from societies of the Kodiak 
region, and can trace their ancestry back over 7,500 years in the 
region. The modern cultural affiliation of this prehistoric individual 
from Long Island is shared jointly between the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak 
(previously listed as the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq 
Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)).

Determinations Made by the {Museum or Federal Agency{time} 

    Officials of the San Diego Museum of Man have determined that:
     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 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.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously 
listed as the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native 
Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)).

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or 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 two associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum 
of Man, 1350 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 
ext. 17, email bgarcia@museumofman.org, by October 20, 2016. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the 
Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq' Tribe of 
Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka 
Woody Island)) may proceed.
    The San Diego Museum of Man is responsible for notifying the Sun'aq 
Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak) and 
Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)) 
that this notice has been published.
