CORRECTION--Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural Items from 
Kawaihae, Kohala, Island of Hawaii, HI, in the Possession of the 
Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is hereby given under the Native American Graves Protection 
and Repatriation Act, 43 CFR 10.10 (a)(3), of the intent to repatriate 
cultural items in the possession of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, 
Honolulu, HI, that meet the definition of ``unassociated funerary 
objects'' under Section 2 of the Act.
    This notice corrects a typographic error in paragraph 15 of the 
notice of Intent to Repatriate published April 5, 2000. Paragraph 15 of 
the April 5, 2000, notice is corrected by substituting the following 
paragraph:
    The 20 cultural items include samples of cordage, mat, and bark 
cloth. In 1985, these cultural items from a lava tube complex in 
Kawaihae, Kohala, HI were donated to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum 
by Catherine Summers, who compiled these samples from museum 
collections.
    This notice also corrects the list of culturally affiliated groups 
cited in the Notice of Intent to Repatriate published April 5, 2000. 
The list of culturally affiliated groups is corrected by adding the 
following groups: the Kekumano `Ohana, the Keohokalole `Ohana, the 
Hawaiian Genealogy Society, Na Papa Kanaka O Pu`ukohola Heiau, the 
Native Hawaiian Advisory Council, the Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo, the Royal 
Hawaiian Academy of Traditional Arts, the Nation of Hawai`i, and the 
Van Horn Diamond `Ohana. Paragraph 17 of the April 5, 2000, notice is 
corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
    Based on the above mentioned information, officials of the Bernice 
Pauahi Bishop Museum have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 
10.2(d)(2)(ii), these 168 cultural items are reasonably believed to 
have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of 
death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony and are believed, 
by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed from a 
specific burial site of an Native American individual. Officials of the 
museum also have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is 
a relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced 
between these items and the Hawai`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama I 
Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei, the Department of Hawaiian Homelands, and the 
Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Kekumano `Ohana, the Keohokalole Ohana, 
the Hawaiian Genealogy Society, Na Papa Kanaka O Pu`ukohola Heiau, the 
Native Hawaiian Advisory Council, the Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo, the Royal 
Hawaiian Academy of Traditional Arts, the Nation of Hawai`i, and the 
Van Horn Diamond `Ohana.
    Finally, this notice corrects the list of organizations to which 
this notice is sent by deleting Henry A. Auwae and Melvin Kalahiki, 
Jr., adding the groups listed above, providing new contact information, 
and providing a new response date. The last paragraph of the April 5, 
2000, notice is corrected by substituting the following paragraph: This 
notice has been sent to officials of the Hawai`i Island Burial Council, 
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei, the Department of Hawaiian 
Homelands, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Kekumano `Ohana, the 
Keohokalole `Ohana, the Hawaiian Genealogy Society, Na Papa Kanaka O 
Pu`ukohola Heiau, the Native Hawaiian Advisory Council, the Pu`uhonua O 
Waimanalo, the Royal Hawaiian Academy of Traditional Arts, the Nation 
of Hawai`i, and the Van Horn Diamond `Ohana. Representatives of any 
other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated 
with these human remains and objects should contact Guy Kaulukukui, 
Assistant NAGPRA Program Manager, Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, 1525 
Bernice Street, Honolulu, HI 96817, telephone (808) 847-8274, before 
April 9, 2001. Repatriation of these objects to the Hawai`i Island 
Burial Council, Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai`i Nei, the Department of 
Hawaiian Homelands, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Kekumano 
`Ohana, the Keohokalole `Ohana, the Hawaiian Genealogy Society, Na Papa 
Kanaka O Pu`ukohola Heiau, the Native Hawaiian Advisory Council, the 
Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo, the Royal Hawaiian Academy of Traditional Arts, 
the Nation of Hawai`i, and the Van Horn Diamond `Ohana may begin after 
that date if no additional claimants come forward.

    Dated: February 23, 2001.
John Robbins,
Assistant Director, Cultural Resources Stewardship and Partnerships.
