SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the

Superintendent, TIMU, and additional information on the human remains

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, three individuals have been reasonably identified. No associated
funerary objects are present. Human remains were discovered eroding out
of the Green Trail in Duval County, FL on June 21st 2023. National Park
Service archeologists opened a small excavation unit and additional
human remains were discovered. Artifacts removed from the site were
determined to be historic and not associated with the burials. The
remains of the ancestors were collected and transferred to the
Southeast Archeology Center (SEAC) in Tallahassee, FL to be housed.
Determinations
TIMU has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of three individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; Seminole Tribe of
Florida; and The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma have 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 September
22, 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 October 21, 2024. If competing claims for disposition are
received, TIMU 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. TIMU 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.
