discussions of Arkansas archeology and the historical trajectories that 
gave rise to specific Native American communities identified in the 
historic record. Based on the archeological context for these sites and 
what is presently known about the peoples who pre-date the historic 
Caddo and occupied the sites listed in this notice, the Arkansas 
Archeological Society has determined the human remains listed in this 
notice are culturally affiliated with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.

Determinations Made by the Arkansas Archeological Survey

    Officials of the Arkansas Archeological Survey have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 459 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 54 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 Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.

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 associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Dr. George Sabo, Director, Arkansas 
Archeological Survey, 2475 North Hatch Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72704, 
telephone (479) 575-3556, by March 27, 2017. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the

Oklahoma may proceed.
    The Arkansas Archeological Survey is responsible for notifying the 
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
