    Quapaw communities occupied villages located around the confluence 
of the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers at the time of late 17th century 
French exploration. The earliest collections listed on the NIC appear 
to be from Archaic contexts. Already during the Mississippi period 
(A.D. 950-1541), though, distinctive local groups emerge in the 
archeological record that correspond in geographical extent and 
cultural cohesiveness to present-day groups that include the Quapaw.
    This notice includes a variety of terms commonly used in 
discussions of Arkansas archeology and the historical trajectories that 
gave rise to specific Native American communities identified in the 
historical record. Based on the archeological context for these sites 
and what is presently known about the peoples who pre-date the historic 
Quapaw people and occupied the sites listed in this notice, the 
Arkansas Archeological Survey has determined the human remains listed 
in this notice are culturally affiliated with The Quapaw Tribe of 
Indians.

Determinations Made by the Arkansas Archeological Survey

    Officials of the Arkansas Archeological Survey have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 104 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 13 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 The Quapaw Tribe of Indians.

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 Dr. 
George Sabo, Director, Arkansas Archeological Survey, 2475 North Hatch 
Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72704, (479) 575-3556, [email protected], by 
March 1, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have come 
forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Quapaw Tribe 
of Indians may proceed.
    The Arkansas Archeological Survey is responsible for notifying The 
Quapaw Tribe of Indians that this notice has been published.
