Description 

Possibly in the 1920s, a grave marker 

was removed from the St. Ignatius 

Church, in Emmet County, MI. 

Subsequently, Alfred Heath sold the 

grave marker to Milford G. Chandler 

(1889–1981), who later sold it to 

Richard A. Pohrt (1911–2005) of Flint, 

Michigan. On April 21, 1981, the Detroit 

Institute of Arts purchased it from 

Richard A. Pohrt. The grave marker may 

be associated with the Kenoshaneg 

Family. The one associated funerary 

object is this grave marker (81.586). 

In the late 19th century, an effigy 

figure was removed from Cross Village, 

in Emmet County, MI. John Ojibway, 

who relocated from the St. Ignace area 

to Cross Village, Michigan, obtained the 

effigy figure. The figure passed through 

the Ojibway family before eventually 

coming into the possession of the Frank 

Francis family of Cross Village. 

Subsequently, in 1968, Richard A. Pohrt 

purchased the effigy figure. In 1981, the 

Detroit Institute of Arts purchased the 

figure from Mr. Pohrt. The one 

associated funerary object is this effigy 

figure (81.67). 

Cultural Affiliation 

The associated funerary objects in this 

notice are connected to one or more 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures. There is a 

relationship of shared group identity 

between the identifiable earlier groups, 

tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or 

more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following type of 

information was used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: historical. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the Detroit Institute of 

Arts has determined that: 

• The two objects described in this 

notice were made exclusively for burial 

purposes. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the associated funerary 

objects described in this notice and the 

Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa 

Indians, Michigan. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

associated funerary objects in this notice 

must be sent to the Responsible Official 

identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the associated 

funerary objects in this notice to a 

requestor may occur on or after October 

30, 2023. If competing requests for 

repatriation are received, the Detroit 

Institute of Arts must determine the 

most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the associated funerary 

objects are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. The Detroit 

Institute of Arts is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribe identified in this notice.
