SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item under the
control of the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology, Denver, CO,
that meets the definition of an object of cultural patrimony under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural Item
At an unknown date, one cultural item was removed from the state of
Arizona. In 1951, the item was accessioned by the University of Denver
Museum of Anthropology. The one object of cultural patrimony is a
tripod bowl (DU#1691). The form and decoration of this object is
consistent with items attributable to the Maricopa culture of the Gila
River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona
and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River
Indian Reservation, Arizona. The object of cultural patrimony has
ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the
Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt
River Indian Reservation, Arizona rather than being property owned by
an individual.
Determinations Made by the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology
Officials of the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology have
determined that:
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the one cultural item
described above has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural
importance central to the Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an individual.
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the object
of cultural patrimony and the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila
River Indian Reservation, Arizona and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River Indian Reservation, Arizona
(hereafter referred to as ``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 claim
this cultural item should submit a written request with information in
support of the claim to Anne Amati, University of Denver Museum of
Anthropology, 2000 E Asbury Avenue, Sturm Hall 146, Denver, CO 80208,
telephone (303) 871-2687, email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#05646b6b602b646864716c4561702b606170"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6d0c030308430c000c19042d091843080918">[email protected]</span></a>, by August 23, 2021.
After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer
of control of the object of cultural patrimony to The Tribes may
proceed.
The University of Denver Museum of Anthropology is responsible for
notifying The Tribes that this notice has been published.
Dated: July 14, 2021.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
