This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The

This notice corrects the cultural affiliation published in a Notice

notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (83 FR 39776, August 10, 2018), column 3,
sentence 1 under the heading ``Summary'' is corrected by substituting
the following sentence:
The Anniston Museum of Natural History has completed an
inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects, in
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations, and has determined that there is a cultural
affiliation between the human remains and associated funerary
objects and present-day Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations.
In the Federal Register (83 FR 39777, August 10, 2018), column 1,
paragraph 4, under the heading ``Determinations Made by the Anniston
Museum of Natural History,'' is corrected by substituting the following
paragraph:
Officials of the Anniston Museum of Natural History have
determined that:
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 10 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.
<bullet> 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 Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas [previously listed as Alabama-
Coushatta Tribes of Texas]; Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; Jena Band
of Choctaw Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida [previously listed as
Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood,
& Tampa Reservations)]; The Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma; The Muscogee (Creek) Nation; and The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma (hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes'').

Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to
