to be culturally affiliated with the 

Blackfeet Tribe, Crow Tribe, Fort 

Belknap Indian Community, and Three 

Affiliated Tribes (73 FR 8359–8360, 

February 13, 2008), and subsequently 

repatriated to the Blackfeet Tribe. The 

museum believed at that time that it had 

accounted for all of the human remains 

from Montana, and that the number of 

individuals listed in the Culturally 

Unidentifiable Human Remains 

Inventory was an error. However, on 

June 16, 2009, human remains 

representing two individuals from 

‘‘Musselshell R., Montana’’ were found 

in the museum. This now accounts for 

all seven individuals originally listed in 

the inventory. 

Based on biological evidence, the 

human remains are probably Native 

American. Based on geographic 

evidence, including Indian Land Claims 

Commission decisions and oral 

tradition, the human remains are 

reasonably believed to be Blackfeet, 

Crow, Gros Ventre, or Assiniboine. The 

Gros Ventre and the Assiniboine are 

Federally-recognized as the Fort 

Belknap Indian Community of the Fort 

Belknap Reservation of Montana. The 

Fort Belknap Indian Community of the 

Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana 

confirmed that the Gros Ventre and 

Assiniboine ranged through the 

Meagher County area mainly in the form 

of hunting and war parties. Based on 

oral tradition Crow Nations migrated 

through this area seasonally. 

Officials of the University of Colorado 

Museum have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the University of 

Colorado Museum 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 Blackfeet Tribe of the 

Blackfeet Indian Reservation of 

Montana, Crow Tribe of Montana, and 

Fort Belknap Indian Community of the 

Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Steve Lekson, Curator of 

Anthropology, University of Colorado 

Museum, Henderson Building, Campus 

Box 218, Boulder, CO 80309–0218, 

telephone (303) 492–6671, before June 

21, 2010. Repatriation of the human 

remains to the Blackfeet Tribe of the 

Blackfeet Indian Reservation of 

Montana, Crow Tribe of Montana, and 

Fort Belknap Indian Community of the 

Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana, 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The University of Colorado Museum 

is responsible for notifying the Blackfeet 

Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian 

Reservation of Montana; Crow Tribe of 

Montana; Fort Belknap Indian 

Community of the Fort Belknap 

Reservation of Montana; and Three 

Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold 

Reservation, North Dakota that this 

notice has been published.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology, Harvard University, 

Cambridge, MA 

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 

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 

Ethnology, Harvard University, 

Cambridge, MA. The human remains 

were removed from Iosco County, 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. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Grand Traverse 

Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa 

Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay 

Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan; 

Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma; and Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan. 

In 1856, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from the western shore of 

Tawas Point, in Iosco County, MI, by 

Henry Gillman. They were donated to 

the Peabody Museum of Archaeology 

and Ethnology by Mr. Gillman in 1869. 

No known individual was identified. 

Mr. Gillman described finding a copper 

vessel and other ‘‘small articles’’ with 

the human remains. However, these 

items were not accessioned into the 

museum’s collection and their 

disposition is unknown. Therefore, no 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Museum documentation indicates 

that this individual was recovered from 

a burial mound. Contextual information 

suggests that this individual is most 

likely Native American. This interment 

likely dates to the Historic period due 

to the presence of a copper vessel. 

Information from manuscript maps of 

Douglass Houghton, the first Geologist 

for the State of Michigan, indicates that 

there was a village near the mouth of the 

Tawas River in 1838. He describes the 

village as that of Outawanse. 

Consultation with the Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan 

indicates that Outawanse was a chief of 

the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe during the 

19th century. The Tawas River flows 

into the western shore of Tawas Bay, 

directly across the water from Tawas 

Point, where these remains were 

recovered. Given the presence of the 

Saginaw Chippewa village in the 

specific area of the burial during the 

Historic period, it is likely that the 

human remains are ancestral Saginaw 

Chippewa. The present-day group that 

represents the Saginaw Chippewa 

people is the Saginaw Chippewa Indian 

Tribe of Michigan. 

Officials of the Peabody Museum of 

Archaeology and Ethnology 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 Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 

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 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Patricia Capone, 

Repatriation Coordinator, Peabody 

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, 

Harvard University, 11 Divinity Ave., 

Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617) 

496–3702, before June 21, 2010. 

Repatriation of the human remains to 

the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward.
