Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, one individual have been reasonably identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. The remains were reported in Reese River
Valley in February 1976 on lands managed by the BLM in Lander County,
Nevada. The Lander County Sheriff's Office was notified of the remains.
The human remains were fully exhumed by the BLM and the Yomba Shoshone
Tribe on July 20, 2009, and the remains were sent to the University of
Nevada, Reno (UNR) on June 22, 2010. The remains are still housed at
UNR.
Determinations
The BLM has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The Yomba Shoshone Tribe of the Yomba Reservation, Nevada
has priority for disposition of the human remains described in this
notice.
Claims for Disposition
Written claims for disposition of the human remains 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 21,
2025, the human remains in this notice will become unclaimed human
remains. 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 in this notice may occur on or after
June 20, 2024. If competing claims for disposition are received, the
BLM must determine the most appropriate claimant prior to disposition.
Requests for joint disposition of the human remains are considered a
single request and not competing requests. The BLM 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.
