SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

Amendment
This notice amends the determinations in a Notice of Inventory
Completion published in the Federal Register (86 FR 38759-38760, July
22, 2021). Following further consultation, the human remains of one
individual--catalog number 97-606-40--obtained by Dr. Zina Pitcher from
Fort Gibson in Muskogee County, Oklahoma, should be removed from the
earlier notice. No other amendments are necessary. Repatriation of the
human remains in the original Notice of Inventory Completion has not
occurred.
Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains represent the physical remains of nine
individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary
objects and the Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians;
and the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in this
notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains in this notice to a requestor may
occur on or after October 6, 2022. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the
human remains are considered a single request and not competing
requests. The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this
notice.
