AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

these human remains should submit a written request to the San Diego 
Museum of Man. If no additional requestors come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains to the lineal descendants, Indian Tribes, 
or Native Hawaiian organizations stated in this notice may proceed.

DATES: Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian Tribe or

request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to the San 
Diego Museum of Man at the address in this notice by August 13, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum of Man, 1350 
El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 ext. 17, email 
bgarcia@museumofman.org.

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 San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego, CA. The human 
remains were removed from Kanaga Island, AK.
    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

[[Page 32324]]

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 San 
Diego Museum of Man professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Aleut Corporation and the Native Village of 
Atka.

History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from Kanaga Island, part of the Andreanof 
Islands group of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. These human remains 
lack conclusive collection documentation regarding the date of 
collection, collector, or specific geographic location other than a 
general association to Kanaga Island. The human remains were donated to 
the San Diego Museum of Man by Lieutenant M. Nolan some time before 
1950. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    An examination of the human remains by San Diego Museum of Man 
physical anthropology professional staff determined the individual to 
be Native Alaskan. The Aleutian Islands are known to be aboriginal 
lands of the modern Aleut peoples. Based on museum records, 
geographical location, physical examination, and consultation, the 
museum reasonably believes the individual is culturally affiliated with 
the Native Village of Atka.

Determinations Made by the San Diego Museum of Man

    Officials of the San Diego Museum of Man 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 Native Village of Atka.

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 Ben 
Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum of Man, 1350 El Prado, San 
Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239-2001 ext. 17, email 
bgarcia@museumofman.org, by August 13, 2018. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains to the Native Village of Atka may proceed.
    The San Diego Museum of Man is responsible for notifying the Native 
Village of Atka that this notice has been published.
