Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the 

Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; 

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & 

South Dakota; Ute Indian Tribe of the 

Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah; and 

Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain 

Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & 

Utah. 

On an unknown date in the 1970s, 

human remains representing two 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown location near Grand Mesa, in 

Mesa County, CO. On April 1, 2009, the 

human remains were discovered in the 

Geology Department of Mesa State 

College by college staff, and were 

reported to the Ute Tribe of the Uintah 

& Ouray Reservation, and subsequently 

to the Bureau of Land Management. 

Based on investigations into their origin 

and placement at Mesa State College, 

most likely these remains were 

unofficially removed in the 1970s from 

public lands near Grand Mesa, CO, by 

Mesa State College students who were 

hiking in the area. The students brought 

the remains to Mesa State College, 

where they were studied and later 

stored in the Geology Department. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Although the description of the 

original site location is not specific 

enough to determine land ownership 

status, most of the land in the general 

region was Federal land administered 

by the Bureau of Land Management at 

the time the remains were removed. 

Therefore, the Bureau of Land 

Management assumes control of the 

human remains for the purposes of 

NAGPRA compliance. Because 

provenience is limited to a regional 

area, and the remains were collected by 

Mesa State College students and stored 

by Mesa State College, the college has 

shared control with the Bureau of Land 

Management. After their discovery in 

the college’s Geology Department, the 

remains were transported by Bureau of 

Land Management staff to the Museum 

of Western Colorado for secure storage 

pending repatriation. 

The human remains consist of two 

adult individuals of considerable 

antiquity, and are likely Native 

Americans. Their reported burial within 

rock crevices correlates with Native 

American burial practices, particularly 

those of the Ute culture. Furthermore, 

the original location of the human 

remains lies within traditional Ute 

lands, and within proximity to Ute sites 

and historic trails. 

Officials of the Bureau of Land 

Management and Mesa State College 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (9)-(10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Bureau of Land Management and Mesa 

State College have also 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 the Ute Tribes - Southern Ute 

Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute 

Reservation, Colorado; Ute Mountain 

Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, 

Colorado, New Mexico & Utah; and, in 

particular, the Ute Indian Tribe of the 

Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dan Haas, State 

Archaeologist, Bureau of Land 

Management, Colorado State Office, 

2850 Youngfield St., Lakewood, CO 

80215–7076, telephone (303) 239–3647, 

before June 3, 2010. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Ute Indian Tribe 

of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, 

Utah, may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward.

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 in the possession of the 

Wisconsin Historical Society, Museum 

Division (aka State Historical Society of 

Wisconsin), Madison, WI. The human 

remains were removed from the Bell 

Site, Winnebago County, WI. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

An assessment of the human remains 

was made by the Wisconsin Historical 

Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in 

Iowa. 

In 1959, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from a grave at the Bell Site, 

47–Wn–0009, in Winnebago County, 

WI, during archeological excavations. 

The excavations were conducted by the 

Wisconsin Historical Society, the 

Wisconsin Archaeological Survey, and 

the Oshkosh Public Museum, all under 

the supervision of Warren Wittry. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

According to historical and 

archeological records, the Bell Site is 

the location of the historic Grand 

Village of the Meskwaki Nation, dating 

from approximately A.D. 1680 to 1730. 

Officials at the Wisconsin Historical 

Museum have determined that the 

human remains described above can be 

directly associated with the Sac & Fox 

Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, as the 

majority of the Meskwaki Nation resides 

in Iowa. 

Officials of the Wisconsin Historical 

Society have determined that, pursuant 

to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 

described above represent the physical

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 

Denver, CO 

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 in the possession of the Denver 

Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, 

CO. The human remains were removed 

from Pettis County, MO. 

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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Denver 

Museum of Nature & Science 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Osage Nation, 

Oklahoma. 

In 1933, human remains representing 

a minimum of two individuals were 

removed from a mound burial context 

four miles northwest of Sedalia, Pettis 

County, MO, by G.D. Householder. 

Householder donated the individuals to 

the museum at some point thereafter. In 

1994, the human remains were found in 

the museum’s collections during an 

inventory, and then formally 

accessioned (DMNS catalogue numbers 

A1991.1 and A1991.2). The human 

remains were originally determined to 

be culturally unidentifiable. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on physical analysis, the 

human remains are determined to be 

Native American. Archeological 

evidence suggests that Pettis County 

mound sites generally date to the 

Mississippian nucleation horizon (A.D. 

1350–1650). Oral tradition and 

historical documentation–supported by 

geographical, linguistic, folkloric, 

archeological evidence, and expert 

opinion–indicate that Pettis County has 

long been a part of the Osage traditional 

ancestral homelands and hunting 

territory. After consultation with the 

Osage Nation, Oklahoma, the museum 

reasonably believes that there is a 

shared group identity between the 

Osage people and the people of these 

ancient mounds. 

Officials of the Denver Museum of 

Nature & Science have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 2001 (9)-(10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Denver 

Museum of Nature & Science also 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 the Osage 

Nation, Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Chip ColwellChanthaphonh, Denver Museum of 

Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., 

Denver, CO 80205, telephone (303) 370– 

6378, before June 3, 2010. Repatriation 

of the human remains to the Osage 

Nation, Oklahoma may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Denver Museum of Nature & 

Science is responsible for notifying the 

Osage Nation, Oklahoma that this notice 

has been published.
