This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of

University has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this amended notice
represent the physical remains of 10 individuals of Native American
ancestry.
<bullet> The 223 objects described in this amended 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> No relationship of shared group identity can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and associated funerary objects and
any Indian Tribe.
<bullet> The human remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice were removed from the aboriginal land of the
Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.

Indian Tribe.
Disposition of the human remains and associated funerary objects in
this notice to a requestor may occur on or after March 17, 2023. If
