[[Page 19099]]

    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 NSHS 
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Pawnee 
Nation of Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1936, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the Wright Site (25NC3) in Nance County, NE. The 
human remains were excavated by the NSHS during an archeological 
investigation. Age and sex of the individual are indeterminate. No 
known individual was identified. There are no associated funerary 
objects.
    The Wright Site is a well-documented, Pawnee earthlodge village. 
Human remains from the site have been previously repatriated to the 
Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. In 2017, these human remains were found at 
the NSHS in a box labeled `animal bone.'

Determinations Made by the NSHS

    Officials of the NSHS 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 Pawnee Nation 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 Rob 
Bozell, Nebraska State Historical Society, P.O. Box 82554, Lincoln, NE 
68501, telephone (402) 525-1624, email rob.bozell@nebraska.gov, by May 
31, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the Pawnee Nation 
of Oklahoma may proceed.
    The NSHS is responsible for notifying the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma 
that this notice has been published.
