DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Kalamazoo Valley Museum, Kalamazoo 

Valley Community College, Kalamazoo, 

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 possession of the 

Kalamazoo Valley Museum, Kalamazoo 

Valley Community College, Kalamazoo, 

MI. The human remains were most 

likely removed from Wayne County and 

unidentified mound builder settlements 

in Michigan. 

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 Kalamazoo 

Valley Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; 

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; 

Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, 

Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of 

Odawa Indians, Michigan; Pokagon 

Band of Potawatomi Indians, Michigan 

and Indiana; Saginaw Chippewa Indian 

Tribe of Michigan; and Sault Ste. Marie 

Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan. 

Prior to 1946, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed as a surface 

find from an unidentified site in the 

area of Detroit, Wayne County, MI, by 

amateur collector Leo J. Dickey. Mr. 

Dickey donated the human remains to 

the Kalamazoo Museum (today the 

Kalamazoo Valley Museum) in 1951. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The limited information provided by 

the donor for the human remains has 

been determined by museum officials to 

be insufficient to reasonably associate 

them to any present-day Indian tribe. 

Therefore, officials of the Kalamazoo 

Valley Museum have determined the 

Native American human remains are 

culturally unidentifiable. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing two individuals were 

removed from an unidentified mound 

builder site (or sites) in Michigan. In 

1946, during an inventory of the 

Kalamazoo Museum collection, the 

human remains were found uncataloged 

in the collection. They were identified 

as Native American ancestry based on 

handwritten labels affixed to the 

foreheads of the skulls reading 

‘‘Moundbuilder.’’ A thorough search of 

museum records did not reveal the 

donor of the human remains or the date 

they arrived at the museum. The human 

remains were subsequently cataloged 

into the collection as Native American 

human remains of Michigan mound 

builder ancestry. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In June 2008, two anthropology 

professors from Western Michigan 

University examined the human 

remains and determined that they were 

consistent with Native American 

morphology. However, given the 

circumstances of the acquisition of the 

human remains, the museum staff has 

concluded that there is insufficient 

information to reasonably associate 

them to any present-day Indian tribe. 

Therefore, officials of the Kalamazoo 

Valley Museum have determined that 

the Native American human remains are 

culturally unidentifiable. 

Officials of the Kalamazoo Valley 

Museum have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Kalamazoo 

Valley Museum also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a 

shared group relationship cannot be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and any 

present-day Indian tribe. 

The Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Review 

Committee (Review Committee) is 

responsible for recommending specific 

actions for disposition of culturally 

unidentifiable human remains. In 

October 2008, the Kalamazoo Valley 

Museum requested that the Review 

Committee recommend disposition of 

three culturally unidentifiable human 

remains to the Bay Mills Indian 

Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse 

Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay 

Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan; 

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, 

Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan, as the aboriginal 

occupants of Michigan. 

The Review Committee considered 

the proposal at its October 11–12, 2008 

meeting and recommended disposition 

of the human remains to the Bay Mills 

Indian Community, Michigan; Grand 

Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Keweenaw Bay 

Indian Community, Michigan; Lac 

Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 

Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan. An April 3, 2009 

letter on behalf of the Secretary of 

Interior from the Designated Federal 

Officer, transmitted the authorization 

for the Kalamazoo Valley Museum to 

effect disposition of the human remains 

to the eight Indian tribes listed above 

contingent on the publication of a 

Notice of Inventory Completion in the 

Federal Register. This notice fulfills 

that requirement. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Paula L. Metzner, 

Kalamazoo Valley Museum, P.O. Box 

4070, Kalamazoo, MI 49003–4070, 

telephone (269) 373–7958, before June 

25, 2009. Disposition of the human 

remains to the Bay Mills Indian 

Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse 

Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian 

Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 

Band of Lake Superior Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay 

Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan;

Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 26, 2009 / Notices 24879 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Kalamazoo Valley Museum is 

responsible for notifying the Bay Mills 

Indian Community, Michigan; Grand 

Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa 

Indians, Michigan; Keweenaw Bay 

Indian Community, Michigan; Lac 

Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little 

Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, 

Michigan; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 

Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Saginaw 

Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; 

and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 

Indians of Michigan that this notice has 

been published.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: Field 

Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL 

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 Field 

Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL. 

The human remains were removed from 

Karluk, Kodiak Island, AK. 

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 Field Museum of 

Natural History professional staff in 

consultation with professional staff of 

the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological 

Repository, Kodiak, AK, on behalf of 

Koniag, Inc.; Native Village of Karluk; 

and Native Village of Larsen Bay. 

In 1893, employees of the Field 

Museum of Natural History purchased 

human remains representing one 

individual from Ward’s Natural Science 

Establishment, Rochester, NY (Field 

Museum of Natural History accession 

number 407, catalog number 41471). No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains have been 

identified as Native American based on 

specific cultural and geographic 

attributions in Field Museum of Natural 

History records. The records identify the 

human remains as ‘‘Eskimo’’ from an 

‘‘ancient dwelling at Karluk, Kodiak Isl., 

Alaska.’’ The term ‘‘Eskimo’’ is used by 

anthropologists to refer to both the 

prehistoric and historic Native peoples 

of the Kodiak region, who are the 

ancestors of the present-day Alutiiq 

people. Specifically, the human remains 

are from an area of the Kodiak 

archipelago traditionally used by 

shareholders and citizens of Koniag, 

Inc.; Native Village of Karluk; and 

Native Village of Larsen Bay. 

Officials of the Field Museum of 

Natural History have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Field Museum of Natural 

History 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 Koniag, Inc.; Native Village of 

Karluk; and Native Village of Larsen 

Bay. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Helen Robbins, 

Repatriation Director, Field Museum of 

Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore 

Drive, Chicago, IL 60605–2496, 

telephone (312) 665–7317, before June 

25, 2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains to Koniag, Inc.; Native Village 

of Karluk; and Native Village of Larsen 

Bay may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The Field Museum of Natural History 

is responsible for notifying Koniag, Inc., 

Native Village of Karluk, and Native 

Village of Larsen Bay that this notice 

has been published.
