ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notice is hereby given in accordance with provisions of the Native Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 43 CFR 10.9, of the completion of an inventory of human remains from L[amacr]na`i, HI in the possession of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR 10.2 (c). The determinations within this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of these Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible [[Page 63152]] for the determinations within this notice. A detailed assessment of these human remains has been made by Bishop Museum's professional staff in consultation with representatives from the Maui/L[amacr]na`i Island Burial Council. In 2002, human remains representing one individual were found in collections from Maunalei Cave, L[amacr]na`i, HI. The remains consist of a human phalange. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 2002, human remains representing one individual were found in collections from L[amacr]na`i, HI. The remains consist of a human tooth. No associated funerary objects are present. The collections were gifted to the Bishop Museum by George F. Arnemann in 1956. Based on the above-mentioned information, officials of the Bishop Museum have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Bishop Museum also have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between these Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Maui/L[amacr]na`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei and Office of Hawaiian Affairs. This notice has been sent to officials of the Maui/L[amacr]na`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei, and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Representatives of any other Native Hawaiian organization that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with these human remains should contact Dr. Guy Kaulukukui, Vice President of Cultural Studies, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96718-2704, telephone (808) 848-4126 before November 12, 2002. Repatriation of these human remains to the Maui/L[amacr]na`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei and Office of Hawaiian Affairs may begin after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
