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 Luther Bean Museum, Alamosa, CO. The human remains 
were removed from Alamosa County, CO.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 
43 CFR 10.11(d). 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 Luther 
Bean Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of 
the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne and 
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho 
Tribes of Oklahoma); Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache 
Nation, New Mexico; Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the 
Pueblo of Santo Domingo); Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Navajo 
Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the 
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Montana; Ohkay Owingeh, New 
Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma, 
New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New 
Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico; 
Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo 
of San Ildefonso, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of 
Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of 
Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New Mexico; San Juan Southern Paiute 
Tribe of Arizona; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute 
Reservation, Colorado; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 
Reservation, Utah; Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (previously listed as the Ute 
Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & 
Utah); and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1962, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from a site in Alamosa County, CO. The human remains were 
uncovered in the 1960s when an artificial lake and bathhouse were being 
developed. The human remains were then excavated by two Adams State 
University students and brought to the Luther Bean Museum where they 
have been housed ever since. In 2005, the Museum brought in a graduate 
student

[[Page 44458]]

from the University of Montana with training in Native American 
osteology to the museum to examine the remains. The remains were 
determined to be a Native American woman in her early twenties. The 
human remains were probably not more than a few hundred years old. No 
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    At the time of the excavation and removal of these human remains, 
the land from which the human remains were removed was not the tribal 
land of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. In 2017, the 
Luther Bean Museum consulted with all Indian tribes who are recognized 
as aboriginal to the area from which these Native American human 
remains were removed. These tribes are the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind 
River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma 
(previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma); 
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Kewa 
Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of Santo Domingo); 
Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & 
Utah; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian 
Reservation, Montana; Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico (previously listed as 
the Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of 
Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New 
Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico; 
Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico; 
Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo 
of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, 
New Mexico; San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; Ute Indian Tribe 
of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; Ute Mountain Ute Tribe 
(previously listed as the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain 
Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah); and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni 
Reservation, New Mexico. None of these Indian tribes agreed to accept 
control of the human remains. In 2017, the Luther Bean Museum agreed to 
transfer control of the human remains to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe 
of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado.

Determinations Made by the Luther Bean Museum

    Officials of the Luther Bean Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on an examination by an 
osteologist.
     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), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and any present-day Indian tribe.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(2)(i), the disposition of the 
human remains may be to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern 
Ute Reservation, Colorado.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    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 Danielle Persinger, Luther Bean Museum, 
208 Edgemont Boulevard, Alamosa, CO 81101, telephone (719) 587-7151, 
email [email protected], by October 23, 2017. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute 
Reservation, Colorado, may proceed.
    The Luther Bean Museum is responsible for notifying the Arapahoe 
Tribe of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming; Cheyenne and Arapaho 
Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of 
Oklahoma); Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New 
Mexico; Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo of 
Santo Domingo); Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Navajo Nation, Arizona, 
New Mexico & Utah; Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne
