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 under 
the control of the University of Hawaii at Hilo, Hilo, HI. The human 
remains were removed from Kam[amacr][revaps]oa Pu[revaps]u[revaps]eo, 
Ka[umacr] District, Hawai[revaps]i Island, HI.
    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. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the 
University of Hawaii at Hilo professional staff, in consultation with 
representatives of The Hawai[revaps]i Island Burial Council, Department 
of Hawaiian Homelands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hui Malama i 
N[amacr] K[umacr]puna o Hawai[revaps]i Nei, Aha Moku Advisory 
Committee, and the Hawaiian Civic Club of Ka[revaps][umacr].

History and Description of the Remains

    In the 1950s, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were removed from the Pu[revaps]u Ali[revaps]i Sand Dune 
Site (site H1) in Kamau[revaps]oa Pu[revaps]u[revaps]eo 
ahupua[revaps]a, in the district of Ka[revaps][umacr], Hawai[revaps]i 
Island, State of Hawai[revaps]i, under the direction of Professor 
William Bonk at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. These human remains 
were identified in bags of midden deposit in the summer of 2014, which 
had been stored with the other excavated material from the site at 
University of Hawaii at Hilo until the present time. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    The Pu[revaps]u Ali[revaps]i Sand Dune site is a Native Hawaiian 
fishing village and cemetery dating to pre-European contact.

Determinations Made by the University of Hawaii at Hilo

    Officials of the University of Hawaii at Hilo have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of three individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 Aha Moku Advisory Committee (Moku o Keawe), 
the Hawaiian Civic Club of Ka[revaps][umacr], and the Office of 
Hawaiian Affairs.

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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Peter R. 
Mills, Department of Anthropology, Social Sciences Division, 200 W.
