Notice of Inventory Completion: The 

Public Museum, Grand Rapids, MI 

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 Public 

Museum, Grand Rapids, MI. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from the Ada site, Kent 

County, MI. 

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 and associated funerary objects 

was made by The Public Museum’s 

professional staff in consultation with 

the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little 

River Band of Ottawa Indians, 

Michigan; and Little Traverse Bay Bands 

of Odawa Indians, Michigan. 

On unknown dates, human remains 

representing a minimum of 27 

individuals were removed from the 

south (west) bank of the Grand River at 

the Ada Michigan site (20KT35) in Kent 

County, MI, by Ruth Herrick and several 

other avocational archeologists. Starting 

in 1947, and continuing in 1949, 1974, 

1983 and 1994, the human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

obtained by The Public Museum by 

Herrick through purchase or donation. 

In 1974, the largest source of the 

collection came to the museum from Dr. 

Ruth Herrick by bequest. No known 

individuals were identified. The 6,404 

associated funerary objects are 61 

brooches and pins; 286 fragmented 

pipes; 44 silver crosses and fragments; 

55 gun flints; 318 metal fragments; 41 

copper kettle fragments; 10 strike-alights and fragments; 507 ceramic and 

glass shards; 122 projectile points; 25 

metal knives and fragments; 2 buttons; 

2,182 trade beads; 85 stone tools; 50 

nails; 27 buttons; 2 necklaces; 14 

earrings and fragments; 2 tacks; 17 sets 

of cloth and leather fragments; 16 

bracelets and fragments; 10 bullets; 867 

pottery shards; 4 copper hair pipes; 33 

spoons and fragments; 8 axes; 222 

animal bone fragments; 4 unmodified 

lithics; 11 fire cracked rocks; 5 copper 

kettles; 1 leather knife sheath; 1 mirror; 

2 forks; 31 shells and fragments; 8 shell 

beads; 1 bell; 12 turtle shell fragments; 

2 pendants; 6 thimbles; 3 rings; 3 wood 

fragments; 1,242 chert flakes; 1 horse 

shoe; 9 awls; 7 fossils; 4 fish hooks; 1 

penny dated 1888; 6 antler fragments; 2 

marbles; 5 metal spikes; 9 silver 

armbands; 1 silver gorget; 1 set of red 

ochre; 1 red ochre stained paint pot; 1 

coin dated 1885; 1 coin dated 1883; 1 

coin dated 1847; 1 coin dated 1820; 1 

coin dated 1825; 1 coin dated 1832; 1 

coin with date unknown; 3 bone gaming 

pieces; 1 bone comb; 1 George III peace 

medal; and 3 charcoal samples. 

Artifacts from this site are from two 

discrete time periods. The first is a 

prehistoric occupation (15th century), 

and the second time period is an 18th– 

19th century Native American 

occupation. Based on the site’s 

geographical location at the confluence 

of the Grand and Thornapple Rivers, 

archeological evidence indicates this 

site was intermittently occupied from 

prehistoric times into the historic era, 

including a trading post operated by Rix 

Robinson in the vicinity of this site 

(1821 to 1834). Based on field notes, 

collection records, and artifact typology, 

the majority of the human remains and 

associated artifacts date to the 18th and 

19th century. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects are, by a preponderance 

of the evidence, found to have an 

affiliation to the Little River Band of 

Ottawa Indians. Many Little River 

Ottawa Band members are descendants 

of Grand River Band members who 

migrated from the Grand River area to 

the Little Manistee River area in more 

recent historic times. The historic 

occupation of Kent County, MI, by the 

Little River Bands of Ottawa Indians is 

well documented. 

Officials of The Public Museum have 

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

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of 27 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of The 

Public Museum also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the 6,404 associated funerary objects 

described above are reasonably believed 

to have been placed with or near 

individual remains at the time of death 

or later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony. Lastly, officials of The 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 

Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, 

Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Marilyn Merdzinski, Director of 

Collections and Preservation, The 

Public Museum, 272 Pearl St. NW., 

Grand Rapids, MI 49504, telephone 

(616) 456–3521, before September 21, 

2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Little River Band of Ottawa 

Indians, Michigan may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Public Museum is responsible for 

notifying the Grand Traverse Band of 

Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa 

Indians, Michigan; and Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan 

that this notice has been published.

Notice of Inventory Completion: Saint 

Martin’s Waynick Museum, Lacey, WA 

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 in the possession of the Saint 

Martin’s Waynick Museum, Lacey, WA. 

The human remains were removed from 

a site near the Grand Coulee Dam, 

Stevens County, WA. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Saint Martin’s 

Waynick Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from a site in 

or near Kettle Falls, located near the 

Grand Coulee Dam, Stevens County, 

WA. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The remains of this individual, 

consisting of a cranium and mandible, 

are identified in an accompanying note 

as being from ‘‘Kettle Falls, Stevens 

County, Washington, near the Grand 

Coulee Dam.’’ Most of the objects in the 

Saint Martin’s Waynick Museum 

collection not linked to a specific donor 

are assumed to have been part of the 

original, founding collection of Mr. 

Lynne Waynick, and were donated to 

the care of Saint Martin’s Abbey during 

the 1960s. As no other donor is 

identified, the human remains of this 

individual are assumed to be part of Mr. 

Waynick’s collection. 

Archeological and historical 

documentation locates the Kettle Falls 

area (both before and after the 

construction of the Grand Coulee Dam) 

within the aboriginal territory of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington. Ethnographic 

sources associate the Kettle Falls area 

with the Colville and the Lakes Tribes 

or Bands (Kennedy and Bouchard 1998; 

Mooney 1896; Ray 1936; Spier 1936; 

Swanton 1953). Both the Colville and 

the Lakes became part of the 12 tribes 

and bands of the Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington. 

The Colville Reservation was created by 

Executive Order in 1872. 

Officials of the Saint Martin’s 

Waynick Museum have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Saint Martin’s Waynick 

Museum also 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 the Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington.
