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 Lake County, 
OR.
    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; 
Fort Bidwell Indian Community of the Fort Bidwell Reservation of 
California; and Klamath Tribes (hereafter referred to as ``The 
Tribes'').

History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing one individual were 
removed from an unknown location and donated to the University of 
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History by a private donor in 
1934. While museum records do not identify exact provenience for the 
human remains, the donor was a resident of Lakeview, in Lake County, 
OR, and it is reasonably believed that the human remains were removed 
from that vicinity. The human remains consist of an adult male (museum 
cat. #11-6). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from a location in agricultural fields 
``approximately nine miles due west of Lakeview and one half mile south 
of the Klamath Falls-Lakeview Highway,'' in Lake County, OR. The human 
remains were initially encountered during plowing, and were donated to 
the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History in 
1949. The human remains consist of an adult male (museum cat. #11-219). 
No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were donated to the Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 
History by an unknown individual. Museum documentation indicates that 
the human remains were likely removed from ``N. Lakeview,'' located in 
Lake County, OR. The human remains consist of an adult of indeterminate 
sex (no museum catalog number assigned). No known individual was 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    The human remains from the above locations are determined to be 
Native American based on burial context and/or skeletal evidence. 
Historical documents, ethnographic sources, and oral history indicate 
that The Tribes have occupied the area of Lakeview, OR, area since pre-
contact times. Based on museum records, the human remains are 
reasonably believed to be culturally affiliated with 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 three individuals 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.
