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 object. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Alma College 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan. 

On March 13, 1920, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from a burial 

in sec. 5, T. 11 N., R. 3 W. (site 

20GR287), Arcada Township, in Gratiot 

County, MI, by an unknown individual 

and subsequently donated to Alma 

College. No known individual was 

identified. The one associated funerary 

object is a pontel glass bottle that dates 

to circa 1740–1780. 

The location of the site is consistent 

with the historically documented 

territory of the Saginaw Chippewa 

Indian Tribe of Michigan during the 

18th and 19th centuries. 

Officials of Alma College have 

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

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of Alma 

College also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 

one object described above 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. Lastly, officials of 

Alma College 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 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary object should 

contact Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund, 

Department of Sociology and 

Anthropology, Alma College, 614 W. 

Superior, Alma, MI 48801, telephone 

(989) 463–7186, before October 27, 

2005. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary object 

to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe 

of Michigan may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

Alma College is responsible for 

notifying the Saginaw Chippewa Indian 

Tribe of Michigan that this notice has 

been published.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural 

Items: U.S. Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service, Homestead 

National Monument of America, 

Beatrice, NE 

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. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate cultural items in the 

possession of the U.S. Department of the 

Interior, National Park Service, 

Homestead National Monument of 

America, Beatrice, NE, that meet the 

definition of ‘‘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, Homestead 

National Monument of America. 

The first two items are a string of ten 

beads and an arrowhead. The catalog 

card states that the beads came from a 

burial ground on the White Mountain 

Reservation in Arizona in 1898. A 

catalog card accompanying the beads 

states that they were donated to the 

Beatrice Museum by Paul S. Mayerhoff. 

Park museum records state that the 

string of ten beads and the arrowhead 

came into the park collection from an 

unknown source in 1964. However, the 

monument staff believe that they were 

in fact donated as part of the MayerhoffDietz collection that was donated in 

1948 and cataloged in 1989. 

The third item is a set of 224 beads 

strung together on a wire. These beads 

are very similar to those described 

above. Accompanying the string of 224 

beads is a note card that reads, ‘‘Indian 

Beads from an Indian Burial Ground, 

White Mountain Reservation, 1898, 

Arizona.’’ These beads are part of the 

Mayerhoff-Dietz collection that was 

donated in 1948 and cataloged in 1989. 

Officials of Homestead National 

Monument of America 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. Officials of Homestead
