ADDRESSES: Lara Noldner, Office of the State Archeologist Bioarcheology 
Program, University of Iowa, 700 S Clinton Street, Iowa City, IA 52242, 
telephone (319) 384-0740, 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 and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the University of 
Iowa, Office of the State Archeologist Bioarcheology Program, Iowa 
City, IA. The human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed from an unknown location in Hawaii.
    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 and associated funerary objects. 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 OSA 
professional staff, acting on behalf of Coe College, in consultation 
with representatives of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA).

History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were removed from an unknown burial cave in Hawaii. In 
1917, a professor at Coe College, in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, IA, 
donated the human remains and associated funerary object to the college 
museum. Coe College subsequently sent the human remains and associated 
funerary object to the OSA for analysis and assessment. The human 
remains represent two adults of unknown age and sex, and one juvenile, 
approximately 12 to 18 years old (Burial Project 1934). No known 
individuals were identified. The one associated funerary object is a 
woven grass lauhala mat. In addition to being used for lining the 
floors of dwellings and sleeping areas, these mats were often used in 
Hawaiian burial caves.

Determinations Made by the Office of the State Archeologist 
Bioarcheology Program

    Officials of the Office of the State Archeologist Bioarcheology 
Program, acting on behalf of Coe College, 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 Hawaiian 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.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
Hawaiian human remains and associated funerary object and the Office of 
Hawaiian Affairs.

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 and associated 
funerary object should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Lara Noldner, Office of the State 
Archeologist Bioarcheology Program, University of Iowa, 700 S Clinton 
Street, Iowa City, IA 52242, telephone (319) 384-0740, 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 object to the Office of Hawaiian 
Affairs may proceed.
    The University of Iowa, Office of the State Archeologist 
Bioarcheology Program is responsible for notifying the Office of 
Hawaiian Affairs that this notice has been published.
