SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
Arizona Army National Guard, and additional information on the human
remains or cultural items in this notice, including the results of
consultation, can be found in the related records. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the identifications in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, the one object of cultural
patrimony is a ceramic bowl. On May 15, 2020, the object of cultural
patrimony was removed from Papago Park Military Reservation located in
Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. During an archaeological site
condition assessment, the object was found moved from its documented
location by unknown persons. Due to the potential for theft or damage,
in consultation with the Indian Tribes, the Arizona Army National Guard
recovered and housed the object of cultural patrimony until final
disposition.
Determinations
The Arizona Army National Guard has determined that:
<bullet> The one object of cultural patrimony described in this
notice has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance
central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-
group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other
subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
<bullet> A relationship of shared group identity can be reasonably
traced between the object of cultural patrimony and the Gila River
Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, and the
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation, Arizona.
Claims for Disposition
Written claims for disposition of the human remains or cultural
items in this notice must be sent to the appropriate official
identified in this notice under ADDRESSES. If no claim for disposition
is received by May 9, 2025, the human remains or cultural items in this
notice will become unclaimed human remains or cultural items. Claims
for disposition may be submitted by:
1. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization 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 they have priority for disposition.
Disposition of the human remains or cultural items in this notice
may occur on or after June 10, 2024. If competing claims for
disposition are received, the Arizona Army National Guard must
determine the most appropriate claimant prior to disposition. Requests
for joint disposition of the human remains or cultural items are
considered a single request and not competing requests. The Arizona
Army National Guard is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the lineal descendants, Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice and to any other consulting
parties.
