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

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, 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 a location 
northwest of Nixon, Washoe County, NV.
    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 the 
University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History 
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Pyramid 
Lake Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid Lake Reservation, Nevada.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1950, human remains representing one individual were removed 
from an eroding area along Route 33, about one mile south of the 
extreme end of Pyramid Lake, Washoe County, NV. In 1950 the human 
remains were donated to the museum by the private party who initially 
recovered them. The human remains (cat. #11-257) represent a single 
adult male. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    Historical documents, ethnographic sources, and oral history 
indicate that the Northern Paiute have occupied the Pyramid Lake region 
since precontact times. Based on skeletal evidence, the remains were 
determined to be of Native American ancestry and Northern Paiute. The 
Northern Paiute are represented today by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe 
of the Pyramid Lake Reservation, Nevada.

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 Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid 
Lake Reservation, Nevada.

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, 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 Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe 
of the Pyramid Lake Reservation, Nevada, may proceed.
    The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History is 
responsible for notifying the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of the Pyramid 
Lake Reservation, Nevada, that this notice has been published.
