Amendment
This notice amends the determination of cultural affiliation
published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register
(91 FR 13055, March 18, 2026). Repatriation of the human remains or
associated funerary objects in the original notice of inventory
completion has not occurred.
Determinations
The University of California San Diego has determined that:
<bullet> There is a connection between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in the original notice and the
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida; and The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in the original 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

descendant or an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with
cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
described in the original notice to a requestor may occur on or after
October 9, 2026. If competing requests for repatriation are received,
the University of California San Diego must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not competing requests. The University
of California San Diego is responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice and any other consulting parties.
