48244 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 17, 2017 / Notices 

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. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Wisconsin 

Historical Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Forest County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the 

Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 

Wisconsin; and the Menominee Indian 

Tribe of Wisconsin. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1989, human remains representing, 

at minimum, four individuals were 

removed from the Island Village site 

(47–MN–0101) in Manitowoc County, 

WI. The site is located within the Kill 

Snake Marsh and Wildlife Area run by 

the Wisconsin Department of Natural 

Resources (WDNR). Employees of the 

WDNR found human remains and 

associated funerary objects brought to 

the surface by plowing. Representatives 

from the Wisconsin Historical Society 

visited the site and were given the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects. The human remains represent 

four individuals, including one young 

adult and three juveniles. No known 

individuals were identified. The four 

associated funerary objects are 1 

decorated German silver brooch or hair 

plate, 1 lot of five copper bracelets, 1 

copper picture frame mat, and 1 lot of 

beads. 

The kinds of associated funerary 

objects recovered suggest a historic 

period date for the human remains, 

specifically the mid-1800s. Objects like 

the silver German brooch did not come 

into use in the Great Lakes until after 

the 1830s. The picture frame mat was of 

the type that would have been used to 

frame an ambrotype or daguerreotype 

suggesting a post-1850 date. The Island 

Village site was first recorded in written 

documents by archeologist Charles E. 

Brown in 1906 who stated that a Mr. 

Louis Falge identified the site as a 

Potawatomi village. Archival research 

conducted by the Forest County 

Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin, 

identified the location as a historic 

village site that was led by Potawatomi 

chief Chaiconda. The site was described 

by Falge as being occupied and under 

cultivation until 1864, which 

corresponds with the estimated age of 

the associated funerary objects. 

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 

represent the physical remains of four 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the four objects described in this notice 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

• 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 associated funerary objects 

and the Forest County Potawatomi 

Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville 

Indian Community, Michigan; Match-ebe-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi 

Indians of Michigan; Nottawaseppi 

Huron Band of the Potawatomi; and the 

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, 

Michigan and Indiana. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Jennifer Kolb, Wisconsin
