SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of

County, KS. 

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

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Kansas State 

Historical Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, 

Oklahoma [previously listed as 

Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of 

Oklahoma]; Kaw Nation, Oklahoma; 

Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the 

Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 

Montana; and The Osage Nation 

[previously listed as Osage Tribe] 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Consulted 

Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

On June 30, 2014, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from 114 

South Scott Street, St. Francis, 

Cheyenne County, KS. The human 

remains were found in a home-made 

coffin located in a building that had 

recently been purchased by an 

individual. Cheyenne County Kansas 

Sheriff Cody Beeson was notified of the 

discovery, whereupon he, Undersheriff 

Rodriquez, KBI agent Mark Kendrick, 

Deputy Coroner Dr. Mary Beth Miller, 

and Melvin Coffer visited the site. Coffer 

suspected that the skeletal remains had 

been used in ceremonies performed by 

the Oddfellows. Sheriff Cody Beeson 

took possession of the human remains 

and contacted Robert J. Hoard, Kansas 

State Archeologist. At Hoard’s request, 

on June 30, 2014, Sheriff Cody 

transferred the human remains to 

Hoard. They arrived at the Kansas State 

Historical Society on July 17, 2014. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains include the major 

parts of a human skeleton in fair 

condition, but evidence of weathering 

suggests the remains had been exposed 

to the open for an unknown period of 

time. Osteological analysis by Michael 

Finnegan, Ph.D., D–ABFA indicates the 

remains belong to a female, 35–40 years 

of age, and morphological attributes of 

the cranium and femur indicate Native 

American ancestry. Because of the 

weathering of the elements, it is 

believed that the human remains were
