SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item under the 
control of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law 
Enforcement, Albuquerque, NM, that meets the definition of object of 
cultural patrimony under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    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 cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

History and Description of the Cultural Item(s)

    In February 2016, a cultural item was removed from a residence in 
McKinley County, NM. The cultural item was included in a collection of 
items with eagle feathers surrendered to law enforcement agents. The 
one object of cultural patrimony is a bison headdress with glass 
beading and eagle plume feathers. Cultural affiliation was determined 
based on the type of beading, which compares with historic photos of 
beaded headdresses provided by the Comanche Nation, Oklahoma.

Determinations Made by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of 
Law Enforcement

    Officials of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law 
Enforcement, have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the one cultural item 
described above has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural 
importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, 
rather than property owned by an individual.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the object 
of cultural patrimony and the Comanche Nation, 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 claim 
these cultural items should submit a written request with information 
in support of the claim to: Ariel R. Vazquez, Resident Agent in Charge, 
Arizona/New Mexico District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of 
Law Enforcement, 4901 Paseo del Norte NE, Suite D, Albuquerque, NM 
87113, telephone (505) 346-7828, email [email protected], by May 4, 
2018. After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, 
transfer of control of the object of cultural patrimony to the Comanche 
Nation, Oklahoma may proceed.
    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for notifying the 
Comanche Nation, Oklahoma that this notice has been published.
