unassociated funerary objects 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 Superintendent, Grand Canyon 

National Park. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

In 1935, three cultural items were 

removed from GC 62 in Coconino 

County, AZ, during a vegetation project 

by the Works Progress Administration 

and the National Park Service. The three 

objects were kept by Claude A. Wagner 

Jr. until 1974 when he donated them to 

Grand Canyon National Park. The three 

unassociated funerary objects are one 

copper bracelet and two metal bells. 

GC 62 is described as a cremation site, 

about six feet in diameter with evidence 

of a large fire. No human remains were 

collected from GC 62. The site is located 

in an area traditionally used by the 

Havasupai Tribe and cremation was a 

Havasupai burial practice. The 

Havasupai Tribal Council has identified 

the items as likely coming from a tribal 

cremation. 

Determinations Made by Grand Canyon 

National Park 

Officials of Grand Canyon National 

Park have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the three cultural items described above 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona. 

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 

Christine Lehnertz, Superintendent, 

Grand Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 

129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023, 

telephone (928) 638–7945, email chris_

lehnertz@nps.gov, by August 13, 2018. 

After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the unassociated funerary 

objects to the Havasupai Tribe of the 

Havasupai Reservation, Arizona may 

proceed. 

Grand Canyon National Park is 

responsible for notifying the Havasupai 

Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation, 

Arizona that this notice has been 

published.

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

3003, of the completion of an inventory

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 University of 

Michigan Museum of Anthropological 

Archaeology (UMMAA) professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Bay Mills Indian 

Community, Michigan; Chippewa Cree 

Indians of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation, 

Montana (previously listed as the 

Chippewa-Cree Indians of the Rocky 

Boy’s Reservation, Montana); Minnesota 

Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota (Six 

component reservations: Bois Forte 

Band (Nett Lake); Fond du Lac Band; 

Grand Portage Band; Leech Lake Band; 

Mille Lacs Band; White Earth Band); 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; and 

Sokaogon Chippewa Community, 

Wisconsin (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The 

Consulted Tribes’’). 

Requests for consultation were also 

sent to the Bad River Band of the Lake 

Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of 

the Bad River Reservation, Wisconsin; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, 

Michigan; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the 

Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 

Wisconsin; Lac Vieux Desert Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of 

Michigan; Red Cliff Band of Lake 

Superior Chippewa Indians of

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 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

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 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

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 

a written request with information in 

support of the request to Dr. Ben 

Secunda, NAGPRA Project Manager, 

University of Michigan, Office of 

Research, 4080 Fleming Building, 503 

South Thompson Street, Ann Arbor, MI 

48109–1340, telephone (734) 647–9085, 

email bsecunda@umich.edu, by August 

13, 2018. After that date, if no 

additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to The Consulted Tribes 

and The Tribes Invited to Consult may 

proceed. 

The University of Michigan is 

responsible for notifying The Consulted 

Tribes and The Tribes Invited to Consult 

that this notice has been published.

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

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
