SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

the results of consultation, can be found in the inventory or related
records. The National Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, 188 individuals have been reasonably identified. The 1,105
associated funerary objects include pottery, shell, shell beads, bone,
bone tools and beads, faunal bone, and lithic material. The funerary
materials in this inventory include materials excavated throughout
south Florida. As the repository for archaeological materials found in
Miami-Dade County, items were acquired directly from archeologists or
through general museum donation. The materials are culturally
affiliated to the Tequesta people, through the Seminole Tribe of
Florida. No known hazardous material exists within the collection.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
HM has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of 188 individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The approximately 1,105 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the
death rite or ceremony.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the
Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations 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 the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after June 20, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are received HM must determine the
most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects are

responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
