Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Unassociated Funerary Objects from

South Dakota in the Possession of the

Museum of Anthropology, University

of Kansas, Lawrence, KS

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Notices 15537

remains and unassociated funerary

objects from South Dakota in the

possession of the Museum of

Anthropology, University of Kansas,

Lawrence, KS.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Museum of

Anthropology professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort

Berthold Reservation.

During 1950–1952, human remains

representing four individuals were

recovered from the Talking Crow site

(39BF3), SD, by University of Kansas

Museum of Anthropology staff during

legally authorized excavations

associated with a River Basin Survey.

No known individuals were identified.

No associated funerary objects are

present. During these same excavations,

23 cultural items consisting of ceramic

sherds and a bone awl were recovered

from burials at the Talking Crow site

(39BF3), SD.

The Talking Crow site has been

identified as an Arikara village occupied

between 1500–1600 AD and 1725–1750

AD based on continuities of ceramics,

village arrangement, earthlodge

construction, and manner of internment

consistent with traditional Arikara

practice.

During the early 1960s, human

remains representing four individuals

were recovered from sites 39ST216,

39CA4 (Anton Rygh site), and 39SL4

(Sully site) during legally authorized

excavations by the University of Kansas

Department of Anthropology. No known

individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

Sites 39ST216, 39CA4 (Anton Rygh

site), and 39SL4 (Sully site) have been

identified as early 18th century Arikara

based on village arrangement,

earthlodge construction, manner of

internment consistent with traditional

Arikara practice, and geographic

location.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Museum of

Anthropology, University of Kansas

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains

listed above represent the physical

remains of eight individuals of Native

American ancestry. Officials of the

Museum of Anthropology, University of

Kansas have determined that, pursuant

to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), these 23

cultural items 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 an Native American individual.

Lastly, officials of the Museum of

Anthropology, University of Kansas

have determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship

of shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these Native

American human remains and

associated funerary objects and the

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort

Berthold Reservation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort

Berthold Reservation. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

human remains and associated funerary

objects should contact Mary Adair,

Museum of Anthropology, University of

Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045; telephone:

(913) 864–4245 before May 1, 1997.

Repatriation of the human remains and

unassociated funerary objects to the

Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort

Berthold Reservation may begin after

that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: March 26, 1997.

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of the State

Historical Society of Wisconsin,

Madison, WI

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate cultural items

in the possession of the State Historical

Society of Wisconsin, Madison, WI,

which meet the definition of ‘‘sacred

object’’ and ‘‘ object of cultural

patrimony’’ under Section 2 of the Act.

The eighteen cultural items consist of

one drum, four drumlegs, two

drumsticks, two silver brooches, one

featherbelt, one featherbox, two pipes

with stems, one pipe bag, two pouches,

and one tobacco bowl. The drum is

constructed from a wooden barrel

covered with rawhide painted on the

top side. The sides of the drum have an

attached cloth skirt, fur trim, floral

beaded belt, and four beaded tabs with

designs of human hands, human figures,

silver brooches, and tin jingles. The four

drumlegs are carved wood with portions

wrapped with beadwork. The two

drumsticks are wood carved in a hoop

style with wrapped fur and beadwork.

The featherbelt consists of a leather belt

with beaded wool drops and attached

rows of golden eagle and flicker

feathers. The feather box is wood with

bas relief designs carved on the lid. The

first pipe has a round wooden stem

wrapped with beadwork, and the

pipebowl is red pipstone with lead

inlay. The second pipe is a flat wooden

stem with wrapped beadwork, and the

pipebowl is black pipestone. The

pipebag is leather with floral beadwork

on one side. The two pouches are

leather with partially beaded floral

designs. The tobacco bowl is a carved

walnut bowl.

Between 1914–1952, Mr. H. L. Mumm

and later his heirs operated several

trading posts at various locations in

northern Wisconsin, including

Minocqua, a town adjacent to the Lac

Du Flambeau reservation. In 1954, the

Banta Publishing Company purchased

these cultural items from Mrs. Odie

Mumm Abel and Mr. Edward F. Mumm,

heirs of the original collector, Mr. H. L.

Mumm and donated them to the State

Historical Society of Wisconsin.

Consultation evidence presented by

representatives of the Lac Du Flambeau

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa

confirm that all cultural items listed

above are used in the Big Drum

ceremony. Representatives of the ChiDewei’igan, or Big Drum Society, have

stated that these items are needed by

traditional religious leaders for the

practice of Native American religion by

their present day adherents.

Representatives of the Lac Du Flambeau

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and

the Chi-Dewei’igan Society also state

that the Big Drum and all associated

items are owned communally, and no

individual had the right to sell or

otherwise alienate these cultural items.

Further, representatives of both the Lac

du Flambeau Chi-Dewei’igan and the

Forest County Potawatami ChiDewei’igan have stated that this

particular drum and associated items

was in use at Lac du Flambeau before

their accession into the State Historical

Society of Wisconsin.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the State

Historical Society of Wisconsin have

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001 (3)(C), these eighteen cultural

items are specific ceremonial objects

needed by traditional Native American

religious leaders for the practice of

traditional Native American religions by

their present-day adherents. Officials of

the State Historical Society of

Wisconsin have also determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), these

eighteen cultural items have ongoing
