Workers contacted the Michigan State 

Police after encountering human 

remains while digging a trench for a 

water main on private land. The human 

remains were taken to the State Crime 

Lab for analysis and subsequently 

transferred to the UMMAA. After 

analyzing the human remains, 

archaeologists from the UMMAA and 

Indiana State Museum returned to the 

burial site to excavate the remaining 

portion of the trench. The individual 

had been buried in a semi-prone 

position within a bell-shaped pit. 

Several Post-Contact Period objects were 

found in association with the burial but 

were transferred to the Arenac County 

Historical Society instead of the 

UMMAA. The human remains are of 

one adolescent, indeterminate sex, 17– 

18 years old. Copper staining is present 

on the right ulna and radius. Perimortem sharp force trauma, possibly 

from a knife or blade, on some of the 

human remains may be the cause of 

death as there is no evidence of healing 

from this trauma. No known individuals 

were identified. There are no associated 

funerary objects under the control of 

UMMAA. 

The human remains have been 

determined to be Native American 

based on burial treatment and 

diagnostic artifacts. A relationship of 

shared group identity can be reasonably 

traced between the Native American 

human remains from this site and the 

Chippewa based on multiple lines of 

evidence. The associated funerary 

objects noted from the site are typical of 

the types of goods traded in the region 

from approximately A.D. 1760 to 1820. 

Additionally, according to historical 

records, when the burial occurred, the 

Chippewa were the predominant tribe 

in the area. This is further evinced by 

a treaty creating two Chippewa 

reservations in the vicinity of the Garry 

site in 1837. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Michigan 

Officials of the University of Michigan 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and The Consulted Tribes and 

The Tribes Invited to Consult. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit

(20MK82), Mackinac County, MI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Museum of 

Ojibwa Culture and Marquette Mission 

Park, City of St. Ignace professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Forest County Potawatomi 

Community, Wisconsin; Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan; 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan; and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1983, 1997, and 2001, (during 

excavations by Michigan State 

University archeologists), human 

remains representing, at minimum, 

three individuals were removed with 

faunal remains from the Marquette 

Mission site (20MK82) in St. Ignace, 

Mackinac County, MI. After each 

excavation season, the excavated 

material were transported to the 

Michigan State University Museum, 

where they were curated. In early 2017, 

during an examination of the faunal 

remains, three human teeth were 

identified: A child’s worn shovelshaped maxillary incisor (5810.005.02 

box 8), an adult shovel-shaped incisor 

(5810.169.91.01), and an adult molar 

(5810.123.03.03). No known individuals

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices 32323 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The archeological site is within 

Marquette Mission Park. The Museum 

of Ojibwa Culture and Marquette 

Mission Park manages the Park. Both 

the Park and the Museum are under the 

auspices of the City of St. Ignace. Based 

on the archaeological context, the 

human remains date to A.D. 17th 

century, when Native Americans 

representing many different cultures, 

including but not limited to, the Wendat 

(Huron), Anishinaabek [Ojibwa/Ojibwe 

(Chippewa), Odawa (Ottawa)], 

Bode ́wadmi (Potawatomi), and 

Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), lived in 

proximity to the Marquette Mission site.
