Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee, 

WI

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Milwaukee 

Public Museum, Milwaukee, WI. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed from Fond du 

Lac, Green Lake, and Winnebago 

Counties, WI.

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice.

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Milwaukee Public 

Museum professional staff and contract 

specialists in physical anthropology in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Iowa 

Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa 

Tribe of Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria 

Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; and 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

In 1926, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from a grave near Luco Creek 

(site 47–FD–242), Fond du Lac, Fond du 

Lac County, WI, during sewer 

construction. In 1926, Robert Weeks 

donated a glazed ceramic perfume bottle 

from this grave to the Milwaukee Public 

Museum. No known individual was 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is a glazed ceramic perfume 

bottle.

The presence of the perfume bottle 

dates the burial to the 19th century. The 

human remains from this burial are 

currently in the possession of the 

Wisconsin Historical Society.

In 1931, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from a location on the south 

shore of Lake Puckaway, Green Lake 

County, WI, by Rudolf Boettger. Mr. 

Boettger donated the human remains 

and an associated funerary object to the 

Milwaukee Public Museum in the same 

year. No known individuals were 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is a copper alloy bracelet.

The presence of the bracelet dates the 

burial to circa A.D. 1770–1900.

In 1931 and 1932, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from the 

McCauley Campsite (47–WN–222), 

Oshkosh, Winnebago County, WI, by 

Arthur P. Kannenberg. The McCauley 

Campsite is located at the point where 

the Fox River flows into Lake 

Winnebago, between Frankfort and 

Eveline Streets, Oshkosh, WI. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.

Archeological evidence indicates that 

the McCauley site was inhabited during 

the historic period.

Based on cranial morphology and 

dental characteristics, the human 

remains are determined to be Native 

American. Archeological evidence and 

oral historical evidence provided during 

consultations indicate that Luco Creek, 

Lake Puckaway, and Lake Winnebago, 

WI, are located within the historic 

territory of the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska. The dates of occupation of the 

sites are consistent with the time period 

during which the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska inhabited the area.

Officials of the Milwaukee Public 

Museum have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of at 

least three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Milwaukee Public Museum also have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (3)(A), the two objects described 

above 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. Lastly, officials of the 

Milwaukee Public Museum have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Dr. Alex Barker, Anthropology 

Section Head, Milwaukee Public 

Museum, 800 West Wells Street, 

Milwaukee, WI 53233, telephone (414) 

278–2786, before December 23, 2004. 

Repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward.

The Milwaukee Public Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin; Iowa Tribe of 

Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of 

Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of 

Indians, Oklahoma; and Winnebago 

Tribe of Nebraska that this notice has 

been published.
