History and Description of the Remains 

In 1956–57, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

Riverside Cemetery site (20ME1), in 

Menominee County, MI, during 

excavations conducted by UMMAA 

archeologist, A.C. Spaulding. Riverside 

Cemetery is a multi-component site that 

has evidence of occupation dating from 

the Late Archaic (2550–300 B.C.) and 

Late Woodland Periods (A.D. 500– 

1100). Carbon 14 analysis of a burial 

feature excavated from the site 

produced a date of A.D. 650 +/¥200 

years for these human remains. The 

burial included one adult of 

indeterminate sex. No known 

individuals were identified. The one 

associated funerary object is a copper 

fragment of irregular shape. 

The human remains have been 

determined to be Native American 

based on dental traits. A relationship of 

shared group identity can be reasonably 

traced between the Native American 

human remains from this site and the 

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, 

based on the site’s location within the 

lands traditionally occupied by the 

Menominee. Moreover, the Menominee 

were most likely the predominant tribe 

in the vicinity of the site during the date 

range for this burial, according to oral 

tradition and historical accounts. 

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(3)(A), 

the one object described in this notice 

is 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. 

• 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 associated funerary object 

and the Menominee Indian Tribe of 

Wisconsin. 

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 and associated 

funerary object 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

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin 

may proceed.

were collected by Dr. James Grassick of 

North Dakota, and were donated to the 

museum in October 1931. No known 

individuals were identified. The one 

associated funerary object is one metal 

projectile point, which was embedded 

in the human remains.
