SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate a 

cultural item under the control of the 

Berkshire Museum, Pittsfield, MA, that 

meets the definitions of sacred objects 

and objects of cultural patrimony under 

25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item 

In 1903, one cultural item was 

removed from Pine Point in Becker 

County, MN, by John K. West, an 

entrepreneur from western 

Massachusetts, who arrived in Detroit 

Lakes in 1881 with his wife, Ms. Jessie 

Campbell West. Both individuals spent 

considerable time in Detroit Lakes and 

other areas within Becker County and 

acquired numerous objects from White 

Earth Reservation. Shortly after Ms. 

West’s death in January 1903, several 

objects were sent to Massachusetts and 

were acquired by the Berkshire 

Museum. The one sacred object/object 

of cultural patrimony is described as an 

‘‘Ojibwa large drum’’ (#C1992.53) 

otherwise referred to as a ‘‘Big Drum’’ or 

‘‘Manidoo Dewe’igan’’ (meaning ‘‘Spirit 

Drum’’). 

The Pine Point community, where 

this particular drum originated, is 

within the boundaries of Becker County 

on the White Earth Reservation. From 

the creation of the White Earth 

Reservation in 1867 through the mid1900s, the people of White Earth existed 

often under great hardship due to 

significant economic, cultural, and 

religious oppression combined with 

well-documented dispossession of land 

and other resources. Historically, the 

Big Drum served an important role in 

maintaining peace between 

communities and such drums continue 

to hold a spiritual and healing role with 

ceremonies that are still held on the 

White Earth Reservation. In addition, 

the ongoing historical and spiritual 

importance of these drums is that they 

are central to the White Earth people as 

a whole and could never have been 

alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by 

any individual regardless of whether or 

not the individual was a member of the 

tribe. Thomas Vennum wrote in The 

Ojibwa Dance Drum, ‘‘Because song and 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Notices 32315 

dance are traditionally considered to be 

sacred in origin they are for Native 

Americans a form of prayer . . . and 

because most song is accompanied by 

percussion of some sort—drums more 

often than not—the instruments 

themselves become sacred through their 

associations.’’ This feeling was 

reaffirmed by the White Earth Band of 

the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe during 

consultation with the Berkshire 

Museum. In a letter dated April 5, 2017, 

the White Earth Band of the Minnesota 

Chippewa Tribe requested the return of 

the Big Drum due to its substantial 

cultural and religious significance. 

Determinations Made by the Berkshire 

Museum 

Officials of the Berkshire Museum 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 

the one cultural item described above is 

a specific ceremonial object needed by 

traditional Native American religious 

leaders for the practice of traditional 

Native American religions by their 

present-day adherents. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one cultural item described above 

has ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group or culture itself, 

rather than property owned by an 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the sacred object and object of 

cultural patrimony and the White Earth 

Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with 

information in support of the claim to 

Jason Vivori, Collections Experience 

Manager, Berkshire Museum, 39 South 

Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201, telephone 

(413) 443–7171 ext. 341, email jvivori@

berkshiremuseum.org, by August 13, 

2018. After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the sacred object and object 

of cultural patrimony to the White Earth 

Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe 

may proceed. 

The Berkshire Museum is responsible 

for notifying the White Earth Band of 

the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe that this 

notice has been published.

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 and associated 

funerary objects under the control of the 

State Historic Preservation Office, 

Lansing, MI. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from a highway construction 

project on US–12, Lenawee 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). 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 during 1993–1995 by 

the former Office of the State 

Archaeologist (OSA) professional staff 

and by a physical anthropologist. 

According to documents held by the 

SHPO, in 1995 the OSA initiated 

consultation on the human remains and 

funerary objects with the Citizen 

Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma; Forest 

County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian 

Community, Michigan; Pokagon Band of 

Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and 

Indiana; and Prairie Band Potawatomi 

Nation (previously listed as the Prairie 

Band of Potawatomi Nation, Kansas). 

History and Description of the Remains 

In the 1920s, human remains 

representing nine individuals were 

removed from a highway construction 

project in Lenawee County, MI. In 1925, 

the remains were re-interred on the 

grounds of the Walker Tavern historic 

site, located a few miles from the 

highway construction project. The 

Walker Tavern structure was built 

around 1832, as a farmhouse, and then 

became a tavern and inn along the 

Detroit to Chicago stagecoach route. In 

1921, Frederic Hewitt converted the 

tavern into a museum, and in 1965, the 

structure was sold to the Michigan 

Department of Natural Resources. The 

Parks and Recreation Division of the 

Michigan Department of Conservation 

operated the historic site until 1975, 

when the Michigan Historical Museum, 

which was part of the Michigan 

Historical Center (MHC), took 

responsibility for the Walker Tavern 

museum and its collections. 

In the mid-1990s, Barbara Mead, 

Assistant State Archaeologist, did the 

NAGPRA reporting for the Office of the 

State Archaeologist (OSA) and for the 

state museum. At that time, the state 

museum turned over to Ms. Mead a 

single cranium and associated funerary 

objects that she determined had been
