AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the New York State Museum has amended a
Notice of Intent to Repatriate published in the Federal Register on
December 9, 2022. This notice amends the number of unassociated
funerary objects and the cultural affiliation in a collection removed
from Orange and Ulster Counties, NY.
DATES: Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice may occur on
or after May 17, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

The determinations in this notice are the
[[Page 23459]]
sole responsibility of the New York State Museum. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
Additional information on the amendments and determinations in this
notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the
summary or related records held by the New York State Museum.
Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of
Intent to Repatriate in the Federal Register (87 FR 75651-75652,
December 9, 2022). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of
Intent to Repatriate has not occurred. This notice amends the
determination of cultural affiliation.
Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the New York State Museum has determined that:
<bullet> The four cultural items 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed from a specific
burial site of a Native American individual.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the cultural items and the Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge Munsee
Community, Wisconsin.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items
in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by 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 cultural items in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after May 17, 2023. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the New York State Museum must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural items are considered a single request and
not competing requests. The New York State Museum is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes identified in this
notice.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
25 U.S.C. 3003, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.8, 10.10,
10.13, and 10.14.
Dated: April 6, 2023.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
