consultation with representatives of the 

Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of the Fallon 

Reservation and Colony, Nevada; San 

Juan Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; 

Summit Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada; 

Walker River Paiute Tribe of the Walker 

River Reservation, Nevada; and 

Yerington Paiute Tribe of the Yerington 

Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada. 

At an unknown time, human remains 

representing a minimum of two 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown location (42MD) near 

Garrison, Milliard County, UT, by a 

private collector. In 1988, the human 

remains were donated by LaVon Rowley 

to the Museum of Peoples and Cultures 

(Catalog No. 1988.031.00001–00006; 

1988.031.00008–00019). No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on the general appearance and 

cultural features present on the surface 

at the time of the removal from the 

burial sites, the sites were determined to 

be Southern Paiute. The likely 

provenience of the human remains in 

Milliard County supports a Southern 

Paiute cultural affiliation. In addition, 

consultations with Southern Paiute 

representatives support the 

identification of the two individuals as 

Southern Paiute. Descendants of the 

Southern Paiute are members of the 

Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of the Fallon 

Reservation and Colony, Nevada; San 

Juan Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; 

Summit Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada; 

Walker River Paiute Tribe of the Walker 

River Reservation, Nevada; and 

Yerington Paiute Tribe of the Yerington 

Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada. 

Officials of Brigham Young 

University, Museum of Peoples and 

Cultures 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 

Brigham Young University, Museum of 

Peoples and Cultures 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 

Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of the Fallon 

Reservation and Colony, Nevada; San 

Juan Southern Paiute Tribe of Arizona; 

Summit Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada; 

Walker River Paiute Tribe of the Walker 

River Reservation, Nevada; and 

Yerington Paiute Tribe of the Yerington 

Colony & Campbell Ranch, Nevada. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Paul Stavast, Brigham 

Young University, Museum of Peoples 

and Cultures, 105 Allen Hall, Provo, UT 

84602–3600, telephone (801) 422–0020, 

before October 10, 2008. Repatriation of 

the human remains to the PaiuteShoshone Tribe of the Fallon

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Michigan Historical Center, Lansing, 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 in the control of the Michigan 

Historical Center, Lansing, MI. The 

human remains were removed from 

Cheboygan 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 Michigan 

Historical Center professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa 

Indians, Michigan. 

In 1992, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from the Village of Mackinaw 

City in Cheboygan County, MI. The 

human remains were unearthed during 

a water main project on land owned by 

the Village of Mackinaw City, and were 

removed by the Mackinaw City Police. 

Subsequently, archeologists from the 

Michigan Historical Center and physical 

anthropologist Dr. David Barondess, of 

Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, 

were called to investigate. They 

identified the remaining portion of the 

burial pit in the trench wall, and 

recovered a few additional bones. After 

his analysis was complete, Dr. 

Barondess transferred the bones to the 

Michigan Historical Center at the 

request of the Village. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown time, but likely in 

1992, human remains representing a 

minimum of one individual were 

removed from the Village of Mackinaw 

City in Cheboygan County, MI, by an 

unidentified employee of the company 

constructing the water main. The 

construction worker gave the human 

remains to a student at Kirtland 

Community College. In early 1993, a 

professor at the college transferred the 

human remains to the Michigan 

Historical Center. No known individual 

was identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

About 30 feet away from the first 

individual’s grave, along the water 

main, was a cache of artifacts of both 

French and Native manufacture dating 

to the late 17th or early 18th century. 

The artifacts are similar to those found 

at French, Odawa, and Huron/ 

Wyandotte sites at the Straits of 

Mackinac during that period. As these 

artifacts were not in direct association 

with the human remains, they are not 

considered to be funerary objects. Other 

than a few modern items and one small 

chert flake, no artifacts from earlier or 

later cultural periods were found in the 

vicinity, despite intensive examination 

by trained archeologists of the utility 

trench spoil dirt. There were no traces 

of coffin hardware or coffin wood, and 

no shroud pins or clothing buttons. For 

these reasons, the human remains most 

likely date to the same period as the 

cache pit, i.e. the late 17th or early 18th 

century. 

Both sets of human remains were 

identified as Native American by Dr. 

Barondess, who stated that their 

condition was consistent with being 

buried ‘‘several hundred years ago.’’ The 

ethnic identification was based on 

morphological attributes of the skulls 

and condition of the teeth. The 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 10, 2008 / Notices 52679 

identification of the human remains as 

Native American is consistent with 

observed burial practices, such as a 

burial in a pit without evidence of a 

coffin, the lack of buttons or other 

artifacts indicative of Euro-American 

clothing, and morphological 

characteristics. 

Mackinaw City is located on the south 

side of the Straits of Mackinac. During 

this period, the French had missions, 

traders, and a military presence at the 

Straits. During the late 17th and early 

18th century, the Odawa were known to 

inhabit both sides of the Straits, as 

documented by French missionary and 

military records. At this time, Huron/ 

Wyandotte refugees, fleeing attacks by 

the Iroquois, also lived on the north side 

of the Straits, at present day St. Ignace. 

The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians resided on the north side of the 

Straits as well. A band of Chippewa was 

reported at times in the Cheboygan area. 

Other tribes were known to pass 

through the area, often stopping to 

trade. Although the tribal affiliation of 

the human remains found at Mackinaw 

City is not scientifically certain, the 

remains are likely culturally affiliated 

with the Odawa, as they were the tribe 

most commonly reported in the 

Mackinaw City area during the period in 

question. The Odawa who lived at what 

is now Mackinaw City moved to Little 

Traverse Bay in the 1740s, and their 

descendants are members of the Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan, based in what is now Emmet 

County. 

The Village of Mackinaw City 

transferred the human remains found in 

the water main trench to the Michigan 

Historical Center with the 

understanding that the Center would 

arrange for reburial after studies were 

complete. The Center entered into 

consultation with the Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in the 

spring of 2008. The tribe has provided 

the Michigan Historical Center with 

documentation of their continuous 

presence in the Straits of Mackinac area 

for at least 350 years. The NAGPRA 

coordinators of the Sault Ste. Marie 

Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan 

and Wyandotte Nation, Oklahoma have 

sent the Michigan Historical Center 

letters of support for repatriation of the 

human remains removed from 

Mackinaw City to the Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan. 

Officials of the Michigan Historical 

Center 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 Michigan Historical Center 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 Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Barbara Mead, Michigan 

Historical Center, P.O. Box 30740, 

Lansing, MI 48909–8240, telephone 

(517) 373–6416, before October 10, 

2008. Repatriation of the human 

remains to the Little Traverse Bay Band 

of Odawa Indians, Michigan may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

The Michigan Historical Center is 

responsible for notifying the Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of 

Chippewa Indians of Michigan; and 

Wyandotte Nation, Oklahoma that this 

notice has been published.
