DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Besser Museum for Northeast 

Michigan, Alpena, MI 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 

in the possession of the Besser Museum 

for Northeast Michigan, Alpena, MI. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed from Alpena, 

Ionia, Oceana, Ottawa, and Wayne 

Counties, 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 and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Besser Museum 

for Northeast Michigan professional 

staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan. 

In 1944, human remains representing 

a minimum of three individuals were 

removed from Henry Ford’s property 

near Dearborn, Wayne County, MI, by 

Gwynn Cushman. Mr. Cushman was an 

avocational archeologist who collected 

from the southern part of lower 

Michigan. Notes made at the time of the 

excavation indicate that the human 

remains were part of several bundle 

burials. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Prior to 1950, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

undesignated site in southeastern 

Michigan, but most likely in Alpena 

County, as part of road construction 

activity. The road crew sent the human 

remains to Gerald Haltiner of Alpena, 

MI, an archeologist and collector of 

Native American artifacts from 

Michigan. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Prior to 1950, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

54074 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 13, 2005 / Notices 

undesignated mound site near Port 

Sheldon, Ottawa County, MI, by Mr. 

Cushman. No known individual was 

identified. The two associated funerary 

objects are an animal tooth and a piece 

of sponge-like material. 

In 1954, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from the Hilltop Fort site near 

Lyons, Ionia County, MI, by Mr. 

Cushman. Notes taken at the time of 

excavation indicate that the site was on 

the north side of the Grand River. No 

known individual was identified. The 

331 associated funerary objects are 94 

ceramic sherds and 237 lithic flakes. 

Prior to 1955, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from an 

undesignated site in Oceana County, MI, 

by Mr. Cushman. No known individuals 

were identified. The 31 associated 

funerary objects are 16 ceramic sherds, 

14 pieces of charcoal, and 1 lithic flake. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from an 

undesignated site in southern Michigan 

by Mr. Cushman. No known individuals 

were identified. No funerary objects are 

present. 

In 1956, Mr. Haltiner acquired Native 

American human remains, artifacts, and 

archeological material from Mr. 

Cushman in addition to those that had 

been acquired by Mr. Haltiner himself. 

In 1969, the Jesse Besser Museum 

acquired all of the above mentioned 

human remains and cultural items as 

part of the ‘‘Haltiner Collection’’. 

In 2005, the Jesse Besser Museum 

became the Besser Museum for 

Northeast Michigan. 

Based on the location of the human 

remains, their state of preservation, and 

the type of objects found with them, all 

of the above mentioned individuals 

have been determined to be Native 

American. All of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects are 

believed to have been removed from 

sites within the aboriginal territory of 

the Chippewa, Ottawa, Wyandot, and 

Potawatomi tribes as codified in treaties 

with the United States on November 17, 

1806, September 24, 1819, August 29, 

1820, and March 28, 1836. The presentday Indian tribes that resided within 

those aboriginal lands at the time the 

treaties were signed include the Bay 

Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Hannahville Indian Community, 

Michigan; Huron Potawatomi, Inc., 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little River Band of 

Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 

Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan. Consultation with 

tribal representatives indicate that the 

above mentioned Indian tribes have a 

relationship of shared group identity 

with the human remains and associated 

funerary objects. The Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan has 

made a request for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects. 

Officials of the Besser Museum for 

Northeast Michigan have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), 

the human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of nine 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Besser Museum 

for Northeast Michigan also have 

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

3001 (3)(A), the 362 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the Besser 

Museum for Northeast Michigan have 

determined that, 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 objects and the Bay 

Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Hannahville Indian Community, 

Michigan; Huron Potawatomi, Inc., 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little River Band of 

Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 

Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Richard Clute, Curator of 

Anthropology, Besser Museum for 

Northeast Michigan, 491 Johnson Street, 

Alpena, MI 49707, telephone (989) 356–

2202, before October 13, 2005. 

Repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward. 

The Besser Museum for Northeast 

Michigan is responsible for notifying the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Hannahville Indian Community, 

Michigan; Huron Potawatomi, Inc., 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little River Band of 

Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 

Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan that this notice has 

been published.
