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 Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist 
Bioarchaeology Program, Iowa City, IA. The human remains were removed 
from Woodbury County, IA.
    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 Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology 
Program professional staff in consultation with representatives of the 
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, 
Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, 
South Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the Crow Creek Reservation, 
South Dakota; Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Brule 
Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation; Lower Sioux Indian 
Community in the State of Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe; Rosebud Sioux 
Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation; Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; 
Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; 
Spirit Lake Tribe; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; Upper Sioux Community, 
Minnesota; and the Yankton Sioux Tribe.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1988, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the site of the War Eagle Monument (13WD69) in 
Woodbury County, IA, prior to the monument's relocation. In 1988, 
erosion caused human remains to be exposed along the upper edge of the 
bluff. These remains were recovered by personnel from the Office of the 
State Archaeologist (OSA) and were transferred to the OSA 
Bioarchaeology Program. An adult of indeterminate age, possibly female, 
is represented by the lower limb bones (Burial Projects 266 and 648). 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.
    The number of burials in the vicinity of the War Eagle Monument is 
unknown. According to various accounts, War Eagle, a Sioux chief, and 
at least two of his daughters were buried on the bluff. Additionally, 
some of War Eagle's grandchildren and at least four Euro-American 
settlers are believed to have been buried in the area. While 
identification of the individual cannot be determined, based on 
archival information, the remains represent a Sioux individual.

Determinations Made by the University of Iowa Office of the State 
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program

    Officials of the University of Iowa Office of the State 
Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program 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(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort 
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the 
Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the 
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota; Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of 
South Dakota; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the Lower Brule Reservation; 
Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Oglala Sioux 
Tribe; Rosebud Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation; Santee 
Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse 
Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe; Standing Rock Sioux 
Tribe; Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota; and the Yankton Sioux Tribe.

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 Dr. Lara 
Noldner, Office of the State Archaeologist Bioarchaeology Program, 
University of Iowa, 700 S Clinton Street, Iowa City, IA 52242,
