NOTICE OF INADVERTENT DISCOVERY AND CALL FOR CLAIMANTS UNDER NATIVE HAWAIIAN GRAVE PROTECTION AND REPATRIATION ACT This Notice of Inadvertent Discovery and Call for Claimants is hereby given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3002(d) and its implementing regulations 43 CFR 10.4 and 5, and is requesting claimants of lineal and/or cultural afhliation to determine treatment and custody for human remains in the control of the US Army Garrison, Hawaii, Oahu, Hawaii (USAG-HI). In 1997, a cave containing human remains presumed to be of Native Hawaiian ancestry was located during an archaeological survey of portions of the Kahuku

Training Area (KTA) in Pahipahialua ahupua'a. Archaeologists determined the minimum number of individuals at this site is seven. At the time, the USAG-HI Cultural Resources Manager believed the site to be outside of Army jurisdiction based on the USGS quadrangle map for Kahuku. The Army concluded its actions in 1997 with telephonic notihcation to the State Historic Preservation Division. Recent events lead the USAG-HI to re-ex-amine the installation's boundary. The Directorate of Public Works Real Estate Branch has already arranged for a precise legal survey and that project is scheduled to start sometime in 2014. USAG-HICul-tural Resources staff verihed the site location and the existence of the human remains on August 14, 2013. Despite the discrepancies on existing maps, under the assumption that the site is on Army property, we will be moving forward with the NAGPRA process. Therefore, this public notice initiates consultations under NAGPRA. Representatives of Native Hawaiian organizations that wish to elaimlineal and/or cultural afhliation with the human remains are requested to contact Mr. Richard D. Davis, Acting Cultural Resources Manager, Environmental Division, US Army Garrison, Hawaii, 947 Santos Dumont Avenue, Wheeler Army Airheld (WAAF) Schoheld Barracks, HI 96857 or by email at richard.d.davisl54.civ@mail.mil before November 15, 2013. Onee we have a list of potential claimants, we will propose a meeting. A formal invitation will be sent to potential claimants detailing the exact date, hme, and loeahon for a meeting.
