BILLING CODE 4310–JA–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Wisconsin Historical Society, Museum 

Division, Madison, WI 

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 Wisconsin 

Historical Society, Museum Division 

(aka State Historical Society of 

Wisconsin), Madison, WI. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from Fond du Lac 

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 and 

associated funerary objects. 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 

Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 

In 1926, human remains were 

removed from a grave near Luco Creek 

(47–FD–0242), Fond du Lac, Fond du 

Lac County, WI, during sewer 

construction. Workers encountered 

three skeletons with associated funerary 

objects. On September 23, 1926, one 

cranium and some of the associated 

funerary objects were brought to the 

Wisconsin Historical Society. A small 

glazed ceramic perfume bottle was sent 

to the Milwaukee Public Museum at 

about the same time. The workers 

retained custody of a pipe, beads, and 

two silver crosses, but discarded the 

other skeletal material at the time of 

discovery, (see Wisconsin Historical 

Society accession file 1926.84 and the 

Archaeological Sites Inventory). No 

known individual was identified. The 

two associated funerary objects are one 

trade sheet silver headdress and a 

fragment of woven cloth. 

Trade silver first appeared in the 

United States circa A.D. 1760. What is 

referred to as German trade silver (an 

alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel) was 

not introduced until A.D. 1830. The 

sheet silver headdress has been 

identified as German trade silver, 

thereby dating the burial to post A.D. 

1830. Based on cranial morphology, the 

human remains are determined to 

represent an adult male of mixed Native 

American and Caucasian ethnicity. Oral 

history and historical records, indicate 

the Luco Creek site is located across the 

creek from an historic Winnebago 

village, which was located at 

Taycheedah, (1857, Augustin Grignon, 

Wisconsin Historical Collections 3: 264, 

288). This places the site within the 

historic territory of the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin and Winnebago 

Tribe of Nebraska. Furthermore, the 

dates of occupation of the site are 

consistent with the time-period in 

which the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska inhabited the area. 

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 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Wisconsin Historical Society also have 

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

3001(3)(A), the two objects described 

above are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near the human 

remains at the time of death or later 

during the death rite or ceremony. 

Lastly, officials of the Wisconsin 

Historical Society 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 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and/ 

or associated funerary objects should 

contact Jennifer L. Kolb at the 

Wisconsin Historical Museum, 30 N. 

Carroll St., Madison, WI 53703, 

telephone (608) 261–2461, before June 

14, 2010. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin 

and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The Wisconsin Historical Society is 

responsible for notifying the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago 

Tribe of Nebraska that this notice has 

been published. 

Dated: April 28, 2010

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
