University of Colorado Museum, 

Boulder, CO. The human remains were 

removed from an unknown geographic 

location in Wisconsin. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

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. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by University of 

Colorado Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Bad River Band of the Lake Superior 

Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad 

River Reservation, Wisconsin; Forest 

County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the 

Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 

Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of 

Wisconsin; Oneida Tribe of Indians of 

Wisconsin; Red Cliff Band of Lake 

Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians 

of Wisconsin; Sokaogon Chippewa 

Community, Wisconsin; and 

Stockbridge Munsee Community, 

Wisconsin. 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown location in Wisconsin, by 

D.M. Andrews. In 1963, Mrs. Walter 

Steele donated the human remains to 

the museum. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The remains of this individual are ear 

bones. Although ear bones do not 

contain unique indicators, the human 

remains are reasonably believed to be 

Native American based on the collecting 

history of the museum as well as the 

types of items included in the Steele 

donation of the D.M. Andrews 

collection. 

Officials of the University of Colorado 

Museum have determined, pursuant to 

25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of 

shared group identity cannot be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and any 

present-day Indian Tribe. 

Wisconsin is the aboriginal land of 

the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior 

Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad 

River Reservation, Wisconsin; Forest 

County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the 

Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 

Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of 

Wisconsin; Red Cliff Band of Lake 

Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians 

of Wisconsin; and Sokaogon Chippewa 

Community, Wisconsin, based on 

Indian Land Cessions 1784–1894 and 

oral tradition. The Oneida Tribe of 

Indians of Wisconsin moved to 

Wisconsin from New York. In the Treaty 

of 1821 and the Treaty of 1822, 8 

million acres of land held by the 

Menominee in present-day Wisconsin 

were provided for the use of the Oneida 

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin. On 

August 18, 1821, the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community (Wisconsin) 

purchased 2 million acres along the Fox 

River, in present-day Wisconsin. Today, 

the reservation boundaries encompass 

the two townships of Red Springs and 

Bartelme. Subsequently, they left New 

York, sold their New York land 

holdings, and moved to the land 

purchased from the Menominee and 

Winnebago Tribes. The Tribes listed in 

this paragraph represent all of the 

Federally-recognized Indian Tribes 

residing in Wisconsin. These Tribes are 

members of the Wisconsin Inter-Tribal 

Repatriation Committee. The Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin; Lac Courte 

Oreilles Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Oneida 

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; and 

Sokaogon Chippewa Community, 

Wisconsin, signed the disposition 

agreement that was presented to all of 

the Tribes consulted. None of the Tribes 

opposed disposition of the human 

remains described above to these four 

Indian Tribes. 

Officials of the University of Colorado 

Museum have determined, pursuant to 

25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Lastly, officials of 

the University of Colorado Museum 

have determined, pursuant to 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 

human remains is to the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin; Lac Courte 

Oreilles Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Oneida 

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; and 

Sokaogon Chippewa Community, 

Wisconsin. 

Representatives of any Indian Tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains or 

any other Indian Tribe that believes it 

satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1) should contact Steve Lekson, 

Curator of Anthropology, University of 

Colorado Museum, in care of Jan 

Bernstein, NAGPRA Consultant, 

Bernstein & Associates, 1041 Lafayette 

St., Denver, CO 80218, telephone (303) 

894–0648, before January 13, 2011. 

Disposition of the human remains to the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Lac 

Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Oneida 

Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; and 

Sokaogon Chippewa Community, 

Wisconsin, may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The University of Colorado Museum 

is responsible for notifying the Bad 

River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe 

of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, St. 

Paul and Bemidji, MN 

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 Minnesota 

Indian Affairs Council, St. Paul and 

Bemidji, MN. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from Goodhue County, MN.

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

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 and associated funerary objects 

was made by Minnesota Indian Affairs 

Council professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South 

Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community 

in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation, 

Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of 

the Lake Traverse Reservation, South 

Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; 

and Upper Sioux Community, 

Minnesota. 

In 1968, human remains representing 

a minimum of six individuals were 

removed from the Birch Lake Burial 

Mound Group, (21GD61), Goodhue 

County, MN, during archeological 

excavations conducted by the 

University of Minnesota for the 

Northern States Power Company. The 

University of Minnesota transferred 

control of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

Minnesota Indian Affairs Council per a 

transfer agreement dated June 16, 1989. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The two associated funerary objects are 

a small ceramic mortuary vessel and a 

ceramic potsherd. 

Based on the material culture and 

manner of internment, these individuals 

have been identified as Native 

American. According to records in the 

Office of the Minnesota State 

Archaeologist, including a report by 

Elden Johnson, the funerary objects and 

the mound group pattern indicate a 

probable Woodland Period temporal 

affiliation, a broad archeological 

classification that cannot be identified 

with any present-day Indian Tribe or 

group. 

Officials of the Minnesota Indian 

Affairs Council have determined, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and any 

present-day Indian Tribe. 

The Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects were 

removed from the aboriginal land of the 

Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South 

Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community 

in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation, 

Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of 

the Lake Traverse Reservation, South 

Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; 

and Upper Sioux Community, 

Minnesota (Indian Claims Commission, 

Land Claim Map #74). The site is also 

adjacent to the current Tribal lands of 

the Prairie Island Indian Community. 

Officials of the Minnesota Indian 

Affairs Council have determined, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of six 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Minnesota 

Indian Affairs Council also have 

determined, 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 

Minnesota Indian Affairs Council have 

determined, pursuant to 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects is to the 

Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South 

Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community 

in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation, 

Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of 

the Lake Traverse Reservation, South 

Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; 

and Upper Sioux Community, 

Minnesota. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

Tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the Native American 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects or any other Indian Tribe that 

believes it satisfies the criteria in 43 

CFR 10.11(c)(1) should contact James L. 

Jones, Cultural Resource Specialist, 

Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, 3801 

Bemidji Ave. N., Suite 5, Bemidji, MN 

56601, telephone (218) 755–3223, before 

January 13, 2011. Disposition of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects to the Flandreau Santee Sioux 

Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux 

Indian Community in the State of 

Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian 

Community in the State of Minnesota; 

Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; 

Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake 

Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; 

Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota; and 

Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota, 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The Minnesota Indian Affairs Council 

is responsible for notifying the
