ADDRESSES: Professor David Skelly, Director, Yale Peabody Museum of 
Natural History, P.O. Box 208118, New Haven, CT 06520-8118, telephone 
(203) 432-3752.

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 Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, 
New Haven, CT. The human remains were removed from a site near the 
Little Medicine Bow River in the Freeze Out Hills, Carbon County, WY.
    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 Peabody 
Museum of Natural History professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, 
Wyoming and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as 
the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma).

History and Description of the Remains

    Around 1883, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were removed from a site near the Little Medicine Bow River 
in the Freeze Out Hills in Carbon County, WY, and donated to the 
Peabody Museum of Natural History in 1925. The human remains represent 
one adult of indeterminate sex, aged 40-50 years; one adult female, 
aged 25-35 years; and one subadult, probable female, aged 15-18 years. 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.
    According to historical documentation, an Arapaho village near the 
Little Medicine Bow River was attacked in 1846 and the villagers were 
massacred by a group of trappers from the American and Northwest Fur 
Companies in retribution for an earlier attack on a wagon train. Around 
1883, the site was visited and human remains were removed.

Determinations Made by the Peabody Museum of Natural History

    Officials of the Peabody Museum of Natural History have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of three individuals 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 Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River 
Reservation, Wyoming, and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma 
(previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes 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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Professor 
David Skelly, Director, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, P.O. 
Box 208118, New Haven, CT 06520-8118, telephone (203) 432-3752, by 
March 27, 2017. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Arapaho Tribe 
of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and Cheyenne and Arapaho 
Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of 
Oklahoma), may proceed.
    The Peabody Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying 
the Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and Cheyenne 
and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho 
Tribes of Oklahoma), that this notice has been published.
