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 Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. 
The human remains were removed from Hood's Landing, Marion County, TN.
    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 Hood 
Museum of Art professional staff in consultation with representatives 
of the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw 
Nation, The Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band of 
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Remains

    In August of 1932, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an ``Indian mound'' at Hood's Landing in 
Marion County, TN, one-quarter mile west of the Oxbow by Robert M. Bear 
of the Education Department at Dartmouth College. The human remains 
were donated to the Dartmouth College Museum and subsequently 
transferred to the Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College in 
1939. In 1993, in compliance with NAGPRA, officials of the Hood Museum 
of Art took control of the human remains and included them in an 
Inventory of Native American Human Remains in the Possession of the 
Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College that are considered to be 
Culturally Unidentifiable. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.

Determinations Made by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, 
Hanover, NH

    Officials of the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on osteological evidence as 
determined by professors in the Physical Anthropology Department at 
Dartmouth College and collection history.
     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(2), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and any present-day Indian 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 were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw 
Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains were removed 
is the aboriginal land of the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee 
Indians, The Chickasaw Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band of 
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains may be to the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee 
Indians, The Chickasaw Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band of 
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.

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 should submit a written request with information 
in support of the request to Kathleen P. O'Malley, Hood Museum of Art, 
Dartmouth College, 6 East Wheelock Street, Hanover, NH 03755, telephone 
(603) 646-3853, email [email protected], by December 28, 
2016. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains to the Cherokee Nation, 
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw Nation, and the United 
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma may proceed.
    The Hood Museum of Art is responsible for notifying the Cherokee 
Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, The Chickasaw Nation, The 
Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee 
Indians in Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
