SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OAC has received written requests for
disinterment from the closest living descendent of each of the five
individuals. OAC will disinter and facilitate the transport and
reinterment of the remains to private cemeteries chosen by the families
at government expense. This disinterment will be conducted under the
authority of Army Regulation 290-5, in accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation (NAGPRA) savings clauses at
25 U.S. Code 3009. Individually marked graves located within the
Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery do not constitute ``holdings or
collections'' of the Army (Sec. 3003(a)) nor does NAGPRA (Sec. 3002)
require the Army to engage in the intentional excavation or exhumation
of a grave.
