DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion: Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; Correction
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 in the possession of the
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University,
Cambridge, MA. The human remains were removed from the Trudeau Site in
West Feliciana Parish, LA.
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.
This notice corrects the minimum number of individuals reported in
a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal Register (66
FR 51464, October 9, 2001) from four to seven individuals. These
additional individuals were found during the Peabody Museum's ongoing
inventory process since the publication of the original notice.
In the Federal Register, paragraph number 2, page 51464, is
corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
In 1972, individuals representing seven individuals were collected
from the Trudeau site in West Feliciana Parish, LA, by Jeffrey P. Brain
as part of the Lower Mississippi Survey expedition. The Lower
Mississippi Survey was a project of Harvard University faculty in 1972.
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects
are present.
In the Federal Register, paragraph number 4, page 51464, is
corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains
represent the physical remains of seven individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a
relationship
[[Page 58432]]
of shared group identity that can reasonably be traced between the
Native American human remains and the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of
Louisiana.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Patricia
Capone, Repatriation Coordinator, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University, 11 Divinity Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138,
telephone (617) 496-3702, before October 25, 2010. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of Louisiana may
proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is responsible for
notifying the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of Louisiana that this notice
has been published.
