ADDRESSES: Peter Lape, Burke Museum, University of Washington, Box

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 Burke Museum, Seattle, WA. The human remains were 
removed from Point Hope, North Slope Borough, AK.
    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 Burke 
Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the 
Native Village of Point Hope.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1929, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Point Hope, North Slope Borough, AK. The human 
remains were removed by William A. Shanafelt and loaned to the Burke 
Museum in 1930. While the Burke Museum has never formally accessioned 
these human remains, it has been advised to proceed and comply with 
NAGPRA regarding this individual. No known individuals were identified. 
No funerary objects are present.
    The human remains have been determined to be Native American based 
on osteological and geographical evidence. Based on the donor's history 
and general provenience of removal, the human remains have been 
determined to be related to the Inupiat people of the Point Hope area. 
The Inupiat were the aboriginal occupants of the archeological sites 
documented in the Point Hope area, which date between A.D. 1000-1700 
(Damas, 1984). The modern day Inupiat descendants are members of the 
Native Village of Point Hope (Tikigaq).

Determinations Made by the Burke Museum

    Officials of the Burke Museum 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 Native Village of Point Hope.

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 
Lape, Burke Museum, University of Washington, Box 353010, Seattle, WA 
98195, telephone (206) 685-3849, email [email protected], by March 27, 2017. 
After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains to the Native Village of Point 
Hope may proceed.
    The Burke Museum is responsible for notifying the Native Village of 
Point Hope that this notice has been published.

    Dated: January 10, 2017.
