ADDRESSES: Dr. Pamela Endzweig, Director of Collections, Museum of 
Natural and Cultural History, 1224 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR

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 
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, Eugene, OR. The human 
remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Phoenix, 
Maricopa County, AZ.
    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 
University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History 
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Salt 
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, 
Arizona.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1925, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals 
were removed from a location in Phoenix in Maricopa, AZ. In 1984 the 
human remains were donated to the museum by a private party and 
accessioned into the collection (museum cat. #11-571). The human 
remains consist of two individuals, an adult and a child. No known 
individuals were identified. According to the accession records, the 28 
associated funerary objects were contained in a ceramic jug. The 
associated funerary objects include: One ceramic jug, one bone bead, 
two bone bead fragments, one bone effigy, two bone awls, two drilled 
pieces of animal bone, one piece of deer bone, 17 disc beads with 
cloth, and one projectile point.
    Historical documents, ethnographic sources, and oral history 
indicate that the Pima-Maricopa people have occupied the Phoenix area 
since precontact times. Based on archeological context, the two 
individuals above were determined to be of Native American ancestry and 
Pima-Maricopa. The Pima-Maricopa are represented today by the Salt 
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, 
Arizona.

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 two individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 28 objects described 
in this notice are 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 
American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Salt 
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, 
Arizona.

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 objects 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 and associated funerary objects to the Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona, may 
proceed.
    The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History is 
responsible for notifying the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community 
of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona, that this notice has been 
published.
