Description 

Sometime during the mid-20th 

century, human remains representing, at 

minimum, four individuals were 

removed from McKenzie County, ND, 

during the Smithsonian River Basin 

Survey, which preceded the 

construction of dams in the Upper 

Missouri River Basin, including 

Garrison Dam. One individual is 

represented by an upper jawbone (right 

juvenile maxilla) with one ochre-stained 

tooth. Associated records state ‘‘PN–29/ 

PN–31, Garrison Dam Survey’’ (PN 

numbers appear to represent a field 

inventory reference system). Two 

additional individuals are represented 

by two foot bones whose distinctly 

different discoloration indicates two 

different burial contexts. The fourth 

individual is represented by a 

mandibular central incisor. Notes 

associated with the latter three 

individuals use the same ‘‘PN–29/PN– 

31’’ reference system. The notes also 

indicate these human remains had been 

collected during the Garrison Dam 

Survey from site ‘‘32MZ0001/Crow Flies 

High’’ and placed together in a 

specimen bag, and that a cultural 

connection existed between the remains 

and the Hidatsa. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains 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 types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: archeological and 

geographical. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

Montana has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of four individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains 

described in this notice and the Three 

Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold 

Reservation, North Dakota.

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the Responsible Official 

identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for

Description 

In 1897, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

removed from Burial Ridge in 

Tottenville, Staten Island, Richmond 

County, NY, during excavations led by 

Colonel Robert D. Wainwright. One 

skull was given to William T. Davis, 

who donated the individual to SIIAS in 

1942. Stored along with this skull are 

five bags and three boxes containing the 

fragmentary human remains of at least 

one additional individual. Most likely, 

these human remains, too, derive from 

Col. Wainwright’s excavation. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In June 1927, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 

Ridge in Tottenville, Staten Island, 

Richmond County, NY, by J. Otis Swift, 

who gave them to the SIIAS. The human 

remains consist of 16 human bone 

fragments. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

During the spring of 1960, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Burial 

Ridge in Tottenville, Staten Island, 

Richmond County, NY, by Jerome 

Jacobsen, an archeologist working with 

Columbia University. The University 

donated the individual to SIIAS in 1961. 

The human remains belong to an adult 

female. No associated funerary objects 

are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: geographical, oral 

traditional, and historical. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the SIIAS has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of four individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains

Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware 

Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge 

Munsee Community, Wisconsin.
