Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold 

Reservation, North Dakota. 

History and description of the remains 

Prior to 1991, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

Grand Canyon area, Mohave County or 

Coconino County, AZ. In 1991, the 

human remains were found in the Heard 

Museum collection and assigned the 

catalog number NA–SW–PR–T–3. 

Through consultation, it was 

determined that the individual was a 

male aged 35–40 years, from the time 

period around A.D. 700–800. No known 

individuals were identified. The eight 

associated funerary objects include one 

mano (grinding stone), six potsherds 

and one iron ore fragment. 

Ancestral Pueblo people began 

making pottery in the Grand Canyon 

area starting around A.D. 500. The Hopi 

Tribe claims cultural affiliation to 

prehistoric cultures who populated the 

Grand Canyon area, including the 

Pueblo culture. Based on the associated 

funerary objects, Hualapai Tribe 

representatives stated that the remains 

may have come from the Grand Canyon 

area.

Museum

History and Description of the Remains 

Before 1950, human remains

Coalinga in Fresno County, CA. The 

human remains were donated to the 

Riverside Municipal Museum in 1968. 

No known individuals were identified.

osteological and archeological evidence 

(Moser, 1998, transfer from Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum’s Natural History 

Collection to Anthropology Collection, 

record update). Information provided 

during consultations shows that 

Coalinga, Fresno County, CA is within 

the traditional aboriginal territory of the

anthropological sources state that 

Coalinga, Fresno County, CA, was 

inhabited by the Southern Yokut

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by professional staff 

from the History Museum on the Square 

in consultation with representatives of 

The Osage Nation (previously listed as 

the Osage Tribe). 

History and description of the remains 

At some time in the 1940s, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from a burial 

location known at that time as Moon 

Valley Cave in Dallas County, MO by 

Harrison Powell. The human remains 

were inventoried by Dr. Mike Conner, 

who worked for the Center for 

Archaeological Research at Southwest 

Missouri State University (today, 

Missouri State University). Based upon 

analyses of the teeth and epiphyseal 

union, Dr. Conner concluded that the 

human remains were that of a child 

between two and five years old. No 

known individual was identified. The 

244 associated funerary objects include 

1 biface fragment, 2 drill fragments, 23 

bone fragments, 2 flakes, 39 projectile 

points, 168 pottery sherds, 1 bullet 

without a casing, 1 pipe bowl fragment, 

and 7 pieces of rock. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects remained in Harrison 

Powell’s collection until his death, 

whereupon the collection passed to his 

son, Clell Powell who, in turn, donated 

it to the History Museum on the Square 

at different dates between 1994 and 

1996. Between 2006 and 2007, the 

human remains were sent to the 

Missouri Institute of Natural Science 

(MINS) to be chemically stabilized with 

Butvar-76, a polyvinyl butyral resin 

often used as an adhesive or coating 

agent by museums and curation 

facilities. Pottery sherds associated with 

the burial were identified by the Center 

for Archaeological Research as 

belonging to the Woodland period. 

Based on the archeological evidence, the 

human remains are believed to be 

Native American. Cultural affiliation of 

the human remains and associated 

funerary objects with The Osage Nation 

(previously listed as The Osage Tribe) 

has been determined based on 

geographical and historical information 

in addition to oral traditions and 

regional archeological evidence. 

Determinations made by the History 

Museum on the Square 

Officials of the History Museum on 

the Square have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as
