Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at minimum, nine individuals were
removed from several counties in Tennessee. The nine individuals
consist of four crania and five mandibles. No associated funerary
objects are present. The human remains were removed from the following
sites and localities in Tennessee: two crania from an unknown locality
in TN; one mandible from Steward County, TN; one cranium 3.5 miles
above Franklin, Williamson County, TN; one mandible from Dayton, TN;
three mandibles from Lenoir City, TN; and one cranium from Lenoir City,
Loudon County, TN.
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.
Determinations
NYU Dentistry has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of nine individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a connection between the human remains and The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains 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 an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with
cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains described in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after July 29, 2024. If competing requests
for repatriation are received, NYU Dentistry must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
