Notice of Inventory Completion: The University of Oregon Museum 
of Natural and Cultural History, Eugene, OR

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 
History has completed an inventory of human remains, in consultation 
with the appropriate Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, 
and has determined that there is a cultural affiliation between the 
human remains and present-day Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 
organizations. 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 to the University of Oregon Museum of Natural 
and Cultural History. 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 
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 the 
University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, at the 
address in this notice by October 10, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Dr. Pamela Endzweig, Director of Collections, University of 
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, 1224 University of 
Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1224, telephone (541) 346-5120, 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 University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 
History, Eugene, OR. The human remains were removed from an unknown 
location in Oregon.
    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 University 
of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History professional staff in 
consultation with representatives of the Burns Paiute Tribe (previously 
listed as the Burns Paiute Tribe of the Burns Paiute Indian Colony of 
Oregon); Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; 
and the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribes of the Fort McDermitt 
Indian Reservation, Nevada and Oregon (hereafter referred to as ``The 
Tribes'').

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1939, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were donated to the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 
History by the McDermitt Civilian Conservation Corps Camp. The human 
remains were initially presented to university archeologists working in 
Eastern Oregon. The name ``Hardy'' is included in parenthesis in the 
field catalog. The human remains consist of a single adult male (museum 
cat. #11-105). No further information is available. No known individual 
was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    It is believed that the human remains were removed from the area in 
Malheur County, OR, where the McDermitt Civilian Conservation Corps 
camp was located. Based on the geographical location, the human remains 
are most likely culturally affiliated with Indian Tribes whose 
ancestral lands lie in this area of Oregon. Historical documents, 
ethnographic sources, and oral history indicate that the Northern 
Paiute have occupied this area since pre-contact times. Tribes that are 
culturally affiliated to this area are represented by The Tribes.

Determinations Made by the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and 
Cultural History

    Officials of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and 
Cultural History 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 Dr. 
Pamela Endzweig, Director of Collections, University of Oregon Museum 
of Natural and Cultural History, 1224 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 
97403-1224, telephone (541) 346-5120, email [email protected], by 
October 10, 2018. After that date, if no additional requestors have 
come forward, transfer of control of the human remains to The Tribes 
may proceed.
    The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History is 
responsible for notifying The Tribes that this notice has been 
published.
