ADDRESSES: David Roche, Director/CEO, Heard Museum, 2301 North Central 
Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004, telephone (602) 252-8840, email 
[email protected].

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 Heard Museum, Phoenix, AZ. The human remains were 
removed from Camp Verde, Yavapai County, AZ.
    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 Heard 
Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of 
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River Reservation, South 
Dakota; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai 
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort 
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota; Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp 
Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona; Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe 
(previously listed as the Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of the Yavapai 
Reservation, Arizona); and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New 
Mexico.

History and Description of the Remains

    Sometime prior to 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from Camp Verde in Yavapai County, AZ. The 
circumstances surrounding the removal are unknown. In 1991, the human 
remains were in the collection of the Heard Museum and were assigned 
the catalog number NA-SW-PR-T-1. The human remains are those of an 
adult. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    Based on consultation, the Camp Verde provenience, the type of 
burial (inhumation), and the presence of copper oxide stains which are 
often found on burials in the Tuzigoot area (Caywood and Spicer 
1935:99-100; Wilcox 1987:128), the Heard Museum has determined that 
these human remains belong to the Sinagua culture. The Sinagua period 
was from A.D. 600 to A.D. 1450. The following present-day Indian Tribes 
descend from the Sinagua culture: Ak-Chin Indian Community (previously 
listed as the Ak Chin Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian 
Reservation, Arizona); Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona; Gila 
River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona; 
Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of 
Arizona; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai Indian Reservation, 
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River 
Reservation, Arizona; Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona; Yavapai-Apache 
Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona; Yavapai-Prescott 
Indian Tribe (previously listed as the Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of the 
Yavapai Reservation, Arizona); and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, 
New Mexico (hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes'').

Determinations Made by the Heard Museum

    Officials of the Heard Museum 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 The Tribes.

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 David 
Roche, Director/CEO, Heard Museum, 2301 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, 
AZ 85004, telephone (602) 252-8840, email [email protected], by August 
13, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Tribes may 
proceed.
    The Heard Museum is responsible for notifying The Tribes that this 
notice has been published.

    Dated: June 21, 2018.
