History and Description of the Remains

    In 1965, human remains representing, at minimum, three individuals 
were removed from Arrowhead Peak Ruin in Hutchinson County, TX. No 
known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    In 1967, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from site LAMR84 in Potter County, TX. No known individual 
was identified. The 48 associated funerary objects are 15 pot sherds, 
15 pieces of debitage, 10 faunal bone fragments, 1 hammerstone, 2 bags 
of charcoal samples, 2 bags of soil samples, 1 lithic, 1 snail shell, 
and 1 shell pendant fragment.
    In 1969, human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals 
were removed from site 41MO37 in Moore County, TX. No known individuals 
were identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1976, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Alibates Ruin No. 28 in Potter County, TX. No known 
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    All of the sites are attributed to the Plains Panhandle Aspect/
Antelope Creek phase (A.D. 1150-1450). Anthropological literature, 
archeological data, and tribal oral histories identify these peoples as 
being ancestral to the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma and the Wichita and 
Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma.

Determinations Made by Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument

    Officials of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 10 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 48 objects described 
in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near 
individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the 
death rite or ceremony.
     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 associated funerary objects and the Pawnee 
Nation of Oklahoma and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, 
Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), 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 and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Robert Maguire, Superintendent, Alibates 
Flint Quarries National Monument, P.O. Box 1460, Fritch, TX 79036, 
telephone (806) 857-3151, email [email protected], by March 1, 
2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma and the Wichita and Affiliated 
Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma, may proceed.
    Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument is responsible for 
notifying The Consulted Tribes and The Invited Tribes that this notice
