SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of 

the Berkshire Museum, Pittsfield, MA. 

The human remains were removed from 

Lake Shawano, Shawano County, WI. 

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. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Berkshire 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1889, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Lake Shawano in 

Shawano County, WI. A paper tag 

attached to the human remains (three 

teeth) states, ‘‘Taken from a Mound near 

Lake Shawan, Wisconsin By Dr. J. 

Jones—A.D. 1889.’’ No known 

individuals were identified. There are 

no associated funerary objects present. 

In a telephone conversation on 

November 13, 1995, the Menominee 

Indian Tribe of Wisconsin’s NAGPRA 

contact (David Grignon) verified that 

Lake Shawano was part of the 

Menominee’s historically documented 

territory. Dr. J. Jones most likely refers 

to Dr. Joseph Jones (1833–1896), who 

was a professor at the University of 

Louisiana (1872–1893). Dr. Jones’ 

archaeological research focused on 

Mound Builder sites, as supported by a 

journal article, ‘‘The Aboriginal Mound 

Builders of Tennessee’’ in The 

American Journalist (Vol. 3, No. 2 (April 

1869), pp. 57–73). This evidence 

supports the provenience information 

provided on the paper tag. 

Determinations Made by the Berkshire 

Museum 

Officials of the Berkshire Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one

ancestry.
