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 a rock shelter on the Graham farm 
near Butler Ford, Benton County, AR, in 1923.
    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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Shiloh 
Museum of Ozark History professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage 
Tribe).

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1923, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals 
were removed from a rock shelter on the Graham farm near Butler Ford, 
Benton County, AR. The human remains were purchased by the Shiloh 
Museum as part of the William Guy Howard Collection of Native American 
and pre-historic materials in 1966. One set of human remains consists 
of a skull, femur, and sternum (cataloged as S-66-1-116-1 through 3). 
The skull of a dog (cataloged as S-66-1-116-4) is associated with the 
human remains. Another set of human remains consists of a skull and two 
femurs (cataloged as S-66-1-490 1 through 3). There is no lineal 
descendent or culturally affiliated contemporary Indian tribe that can 
be determined. No known individuals were identified. The one associated 
funerary object is the skull of a dog.

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 burial in 
a rock shelter.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of, at minimum, two 
individuals of Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the dog skull described 
in this notice is reasonably believed to have been placed with or near 
individual human remains (S-66-1-116) 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 object were 
removed is the tribal land of The Osage Nation (previously listed as 
the Osage Tribe).
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed is the aboriginal land of The Osage Nation (previously listed 
as the Osage Tribe).
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of The 
Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage 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 February 8, 2016. 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.
