request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to the 
Peabody Museum of Natural History at the address in this notice by June

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

    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 a 
representative of the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold 
Reservation, North Dakota (hereafter the ``Three Affiliated Tribes'').

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1904, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the On-A-Slant Village site (32-Mo-0026) in Morton 
County, ND, by a private individual. In 1915, the human remains were 
donated to the Peabody Museum of Natural History. The human remains 
represent one adult, probably male. No known individual was identified. 
No associated funerary objects are present.
    Between 1903 and 1906, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the Scattered Village site (32-Mo-0031) in 
Morton County, ND, by a private individual. In 1915, the human remains 
were donated to the Peabody Museum. The human remains represent one 
subadult 12-15 years old, sex indeterminate. No known individual was 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    Located near the mouth of the Heart River, On-A-Slant Village is 
recognized as a late prehistoric and protohistoric earth lodge village 
of the Mandan whose descendants are today members of the Three 
Affiliated Tribes. Scattered Village was a large prehistoric and 
historic settlement located on the north side of the Heart River on the 
eastern side of the modern city of Mandan, ND. The inhabitants of 
Scattered Village have been identified as either Hidatsa or Mandan 
whose descendants are today members of the Three Affiliated Tribes.

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 two 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 Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.

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 June 
2, 2017. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Three 
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota may 
proceed.
    The Peabody Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying 
the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North 
Dakota that this notice has been published.
