Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1992, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

removed from the Paradise Valley site 

(47–MO–0251) in Monroe County, WI. 

The human remains were recovered 

from a cranberry bog by unknown 

individuals and reported to the 

Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS). 

Archeologists from the WHS took 

possession of the human remains and 

visited the site. They found no 

additional human remains or funerary 

objects that could be associated with the 

human remains. The site has since been 

reported as destroyed by cranberry 

operations. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Determinations Made by the Wisconsin 

Historical Society 

Officials of the Wisconsin Historical 

Society have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American based on 

Wisconsin Historical Society records, 

burial location, archeological context, 

oral histories, and skeletal analysis. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian Tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission or the Court 

of Federal Claims, the land from which 

the Native American human remains 

were removed is the aboriginal land of 

the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and 

the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 

• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or 

Executive Orders indicate that the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains were removed is the aboriginal 

land of the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains may

of human remains under the control of

removed from Dickensen Gravel Pit and 

Krainik Conical site in Juneau County, 

WI. 

This notice is published as part of the

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from 

Dickensen Gravel Pit (47–JU–0101) in 

Juneau County, WI. The human remains 

represent a single adult of indeterminate 

sex and were donated to the WHS by the 

County Coroner Clarence R. Sorenson in 

1939. A letter written by John Barr in 

June of 1939 states that the human 

remains were exhumed by a dentist 

from New Lisbon at an unstated date 

from a cultivated field. No known 

individuals were identified. Charcoal 

was found with the human remains, but 

there is no record of it being brought to 

the WHS. Therefore, no associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from Krainik 

Conical site (47–JU–0203) in Juneau 

County, WI. In 1980, Dick Robinson, a 

local landowner, donated to the WHS a 

box of items that he and his father had 

collected from the site over several 

years. In a letter dated December of 

1980, Robinson made no mention of 

having collected human remains, but 

WHS employees identified three human 

long bone fragments representing one 

adult of indeterminate sex. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.
