CORRECTION--Notice of Inventory Completion for Native American 
Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects in the Possession of the 
U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Effigy Mounds 
National Monument, Harpers Ferry, IA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior

ACTION: Correction

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

    Notice is hereby given in accordance with provisions of the Native 
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, 
of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated 
funerary objects in the possession of the U.S. Department of the 
Interior, National Park Service, Effigy Mounds National Monument, 
Harpers Ferry, IA.
    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 
National Park Service unit that has control or possession of these 
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The 
Assistant Director, Cultural Resources Stewardship and Partnerships is 
not responsible for the determinations within this notice.
    On March 9, 2001, the National Park Service published a Notice of 
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register for 15 Native American 
human remains and 3 associated funerary objects in the possession of 
Effigy Mounds National Monument. The notice incorrectly listed 12 human 
remains and 3 associated funerary objects recovered from Mound #57 as 
culturally affiliated with the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa 
Tribe of Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; Ho-Chunk 
Nation of Wisconsin; Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska; Upper Sioux Indian 
Community of the Upper Sioux Reservation, Minnesota; Shakopee 
Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota (Prior Lake); Lower Sioux 
Indian Community of Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians of the Lower 
Sioux Reservation in Minnesota; and Prairie Island Indian Community of 
Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians of the Prairie Island Reservation, 
Minnesota. Based on additional information, the superintendent of 
Effigy Mounds National Monument determined that the 12 human remains 
and 3 associated funerary objects recovered from Mound #57 are 
culturally unidentifiable.
    The Notice of Inventory Completion published by Effigy Mounds 
National Monument on March 9, 2001 (Federal Register Document 01-5944, 
pages 14201-14203) is corrected as follows:
    The third paragraph is deleted.
    The first sentence of the ninth paragraph is corrected to read: 
``Based on the above-mentioned information, the Effigy Mounds National 
Monument superintendent has determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 
(d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical remains 
of three individuals of Native American ancestry.''
    The second sentence of the ninth paragraph is deleted.
    This correction has been sent to officials of the Iowa Tribe of 
Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of 
Indians, Oklahoma; Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Sac and Fox Tribe of 
the Mississippi in Iowa; Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and 
Nebraska; Sac and Fox Nation, Oklahoma; Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska; 
Upper Sioux Indian Community of the Upper Sioux Reservation, Minnesota; 
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota; Lower Sioux Indian 
Community of Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians of the Lower Sioux 
Reservation in Minnesota; and Prairie Island Indian Community of 
Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians of the Prairie Island Reservation, 
Minnesota.
    Repatriation of the three other human remains listed in the March 
9, 2001, Notice of Inventory Completion is not affected by this 
correction.
