Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains from

Mankato, MN in the Possession of the

Public Museum of Grand Rapids,

Grand Rapids, MI

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains from Mankato, MN in the

possession of the Public Museum of

Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids, MI.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Public Museum of

Grand Rapids professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Lower Sioux Indian Community of

Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians

of the Lower Sioux Reservation in

Minnesota; the Spirit Lake Tribe, North

Dakota; the Shakopee Mdewakanton

Sioux Community of Minnesota; and the

Prairie Island Indian Community of

Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians

of the Prairie Island Reservation,

Minnesota.

Around 1915, human remains

representing one individual were

obtained from G.S. Knapp of Chicago, IL

by the Public Museum of Grand Rapids

by an unknown method. This individual

has been identified as Marpiya Okinajin,

a Dakota man executed in 1862

following the United States—Dakota

War. No associated funerary objects are

present.

The identification of these human

remains as those of Marpiya Okinajin is

based on a note found with the remains

indicating it is a piece of skin from

‘‘Chief Cut Nose’’, an alleged leader of

the ‘‘New Ulm Massacre’’. Historic

documents confirm that Marpiya

Okinajin was among the 38 men

executed by the U.S. government on

December 26, 1862 at Mankato, MN.

‘‘Cut Nose’’ was used as the translation

of Marpiya Okinajin by Americans at

the time. Further information indicates

that following his execution, this piece

of Marpiya Okinajin’s skin was removed

from his body by a ‘‘Dr. Sheardown.’’

There is no information to indicate

these human remains are not those of

Marpiya Okinajin. No verified lineal

descendants have come forward, and a

claim of cultural affiliation has been

submitted by representatives of the

Lower Sioux Indian Community of

Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux Indians

of the Lower Sioux Reservation in

Minnesota.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Public

Museum of Grand Rapids have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed

above represent the physical remains of

one individual of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Public Museum

of Grand Rapids have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and the Lower Sioux Indian Community

of Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux

Indians of the Lower Sioux Reservation

in Minnesota; the Spirit Lake Tribe,

North Dakota; the Shakopee

Mdewakanton Sioux Community of

Minnesota; and the Prairie Island Indian

Community of Minnesota Mdewakanton

Sioux Indians of the Prairie Island

Reservation, Minnesota.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Lower Sioux Indian Community

of Minnesota Mdewakanton Sioux

Indians of the Lower Sioux Reservation

in Minnesota; the Spirit Lake Tribe,

North Dakota; the Shakopee

Mdewakanton Sioux Community of

Minnesota; and the Prairie Island Indian

Community of Minnesota Mdewakanton

Sioux Indians of the Prairie Island

Reservation, Minnesota. Representatives

of any other Indian tribe that believes

itself to be culturally affiliated with

these human remains or lineal

descendants of Maripiya Okinajin

should contact Timothy J. Chester,

Director, Public Museum of Grand

Rapids, 272 Pearl NW, Grand Rapids,

MI 49504; telephone: (616) 456-3511,

before June 22, 2000. Repatriation of the

human remains to the Lower Sioux

Indian Community of Minnesota

Mdewakanton Sioux Indians of the

Lower Sioux Reservation in Minnesota

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.
