Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the State Historical 
Society of North Dakota, Bismarck, ND. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from an unknown location in western North 
Dakota.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 
43 CFR 10.11(d). 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 and associated funerary 
objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the 
determinations in this notice.

Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of 
the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, North Dakota; Turtle Mountain 
Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota; and Upper Sioux Community, 
Minnesota. The Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian 
Reservation, Montana was invited to consult but did not participate. 
Hereafter all tribes listed in this section are referred to as ``The 
Consulted and Notified Tribes.''

History and Description of the Remains

    Sometime before 1931, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the ground surface in an unknown location 
in western North Dakota. According to museum records, the human remains 
were collected by Dr. James Grassick of North Dakota, and were donated 
to the museum in October 1931. No known individuals were identified. 
The one associated funerary object is one metal projectile point, which 
was embedded in the human remains.

Determinations Made by the State Historical Society of North Dakota

    Officials of the State Historical Society of North Dakota have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on the donor's collecting 
history.
     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(3)(A), the one object described 
in this notice is 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 and was embedded in the human remains either 
before or after the individual's death.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day 
Indian Tribe.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the 
Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Sisseton-
Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit 
Lake Tribe, North Dakota; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South 
Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian 
Reservation, North Dakota; Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of 
North Dakota; and the Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to of the Lower 
Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton 
Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake 
Tribe, North Dakota; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; 
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, North 
Dakota; Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota; and 
the Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    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 Wendi 
Field Murray, State Historical Society of North Dakota, 612 East 
Boulevard Avenue, Bismarck, ND 58505, telephone (701) 325-3506, email 
[email protected], by October 10, 2018. After that date, if no additional 
requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains 
and associated funerary objects to the Lower Sioux Indian Community in 
the State of Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse 
Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; Standing 
Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; Three Affiliated Tribes of 
the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, North Dakota; Turtle Mountain 
Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota; and the Upper Sioux 
Community, Minnesota may proceed.
    The State Historical Society of North Dakota is responsible for 
notifying The Consulted and Notified Tribes that this notice has been 
published.
