believed to be 40–45 years old. No 

known individual was identified. The 

one associated funerary object is a chert 

core. 

Sometime between 1964 and1995, 

human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from site 34KI6 in Kiowa County, OK, 

by local collectors. In May of 1995, 

Reclamation obtained these human 

remains during meetings with local 

collectors. The human remains were 

transported to Wichita State University 

for inventorying and then were moved 

to the Museum of the Great Plains. The 

human remains belong to an adult of 

unknown sex or age. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

The human remains detailed in this 

notice were determined to be Native 

American based on their archeological 

context and collection history. No lineal 

descendants associated with the burials 

have been identified. Archeological, 

ethnohistoric, ethnographic, and tribal 

oral traditional information support the 

finding that the human remains and 

associated funerary objects listed herein 

can be culturally affiliated with the 

Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, 

Keechi, Waco, & Tawakonie), 

Oklahoma.

History and Description of the Remains 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Emmet 

County, MI. The human remains 

(31209.31) and associated funerary 

objects were obtained by Albert Green 

Heath (1888–1953). Heath was an avid 

collector and dealer of Native American 

items who traveled throughout North 

America buying, trading, and selling 

Native American items. He had a 

summer home in Harbor Springs, MI, 

and developed relationships with the 

local Odawa/Ottawa. Heath’s large 

collection came to be known as the 

Museum of Amerind Arts or the 

Museum of American Indian Art. In 

1955, Beloit College, Logan Museum of 

Anthropology purchased the Albert 

Green Heath American Indian 

collection. 

The human remains belong to an 

individual of undetermined age and sex. 

No known individual was identified. 

The 28 associated funerary objects are 

one lot of glass, stone, and shell beads
