History and Description of the Remains 

On October 21, 1981, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three adult 

individuals were removed from a 

residence in the Village of Lyons, Ionia 

County, MI. The homeowner discovered 

the human remains while digging a 

foundation for a house. Michigan State 

Police (MSP) was called to investigate, 

complaint number 13–3138–81, and 

took possession of the remains and 

transferred them to Michigan State 

University (MSU), Anthropology 

Department for analysis. MSU 

determined the remains belonged to at 

least three different adult Native 

Americans. The human remains were 

returned to MSP 64 in June 2013. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funeral objects are present. 

On October 14, 1971, human remains 

representing what was determined to be 

one adult male individual were 

removed from a gravel pit in the 

southwest quarter of Section #25, 

Bethany Township, Gratiot County, MI. 

MSP took possession of the remains, 

complaint number 14–1865–71, and 

transferred them to MSU for analysis. 

MSU determined the remains belonged 

to one adult male Native American. The 

human remains were returned to MSP 

64 in June 2013. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funeral 

objects are present.

from which the Native American human 

remains were removed is the aboriginal 

land of The Tribes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the correction of an inventory 

of human remains and associated

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 221 / Monday, November 17, 2014 / Notices 68473 

funerary objects under the control of the 

U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau 

of Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and 

in the physical custody of the Arizona 

State Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ (ASM). The human remains 

and associated funerary objects were 

removed from a location within the 

boundaries of the Fort Apache Indian 

Reservation, Navajo County, AZ. 

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. 

This notice corrects the minimum 

number of individuals and number of 

associated funerary objects published in 

a Notice of Inventory Completion in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 11578–11580, 

February 27, 2012). Re-inventory of the 

human remains resulted in a reduction 

in the minimum number of individuals 

represented because many fragmentary 

elements could be reassociated with 

individuals from the more intact burials. 

The number of associated funerary 

objects increased due a search through 

uncatalogued object collections.

In the Federal Register (77 FR 11579, 

February 27, 2012), paragraph 7 is 

corrected by substituting the following 

paragraph:

authorized excavations conducted by the 

University of Arizona Archaeological Field 

School. Archaeological collections from the
