Village (39CL1) by workmen during

home construction activities. These

human remains and objects were

donated to the W.H. Over Museum,

Vermillion, SD. In 1974, these human

remains and objects were transferred to

the South Dakota State Archaeological

Research Center. In 1982, the human

remains were repatriated to Frank Fools

Crow, Oglala Sioux Tribe, Pine Ridge

Reservation, SD.

Based on oral tradition, archeological

evidence, historical accounts, and

geographic location, the burials at the

Vermillion Bluff Village have been

identified as Yankton dating to the

historic period (post-AD 1800).

The 65 cultural items consist of a

shell hairpipe, ten lots of beads, seven

bells, four wristlets, an armband, four

bear claws, an elk tooth, a roach

spreader, an earring, a pair of brass

tubes and tinklers, two tack necklaces

and tack, a dance mirror, two files, two

strike-a-lights, two fishhooks, an antler

powder measure, a flintlock gun, a

metal knife, a metal projectile point, a

stone biface, a pair of sandstone

abraders, a pair of scissors, a thimble, a

catlinite pipe and stem, a catlinite

tobacco tamper, a horse bit, a plate glass

item, two wood fragments, two leather

fragments, and eight metal fragments.

In 1917, these cultural items and

human remains representing one

individual were excavated from site

39CL6 by the private landowner, A.A.

Norgren, on his farm near Centerville,

SD. These human remains and objects

were donated to the W.H. Over Museum

in Vermillion, SD. In 1974, these human

remains and objects were transferred to

the South Dakota State Archaeological

Research Center. In 1982, the human

remains were repatriated to Frank Fools

Crow, Oglala Sioux Tribe, Pine Ridge

Reservation, SD.

Based on oral tradition, archeological

evidence, historical accounts, and

geographic location, the burials at the

Vermillion Bluff Village have been

identified as Yankton dating to the

historic period (post-AD 1800).

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the South

Dakota State Archaeological Research

Center have determined that, pursuant

to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(2)(ii), these cultural

items 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 and are believed, by a

preponderance of the evidence, to have

been removed from a specific burial site

of a Native American individual.

Officials of the South Dakota State

Archaeological Research Center have

also determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2(e), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these items

and the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South

Dakota.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South

Dakota, and the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe

of the Crow Creek Reservation, South

Dakota. Representatives of any other

Indian tribe that believes itself to be

culturally affiliated with these objects

should contact Renee Boen, Curator,

State Archaeological Center, South

Dakota Historical Society, P.O. Box

1257, Rapid City, SD 57709–1257;

telephone: (605) 394–1936 before May

30, 2000. Repatriation of these objects to

the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South

Dakota may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.
