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 under the control of
Columbia University. The human
remains were removed from SheyenneCheyenne Site, Ransom County, ND.
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
The detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Columbia
University, Department of
Anthropology, professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes
(previously listed as the CheyenneArapaho Tribes of Oklahoma) and the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1938, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Sheyenne-Cheyenne site
in Ransom County, ND. The excavation
was led by William Duncan Strong and
jointly sponsored by Columbia
University and the State Historical
Society of North Dakota. Strong brought
the human remains to the American
Museum of Natural History (AMNH),
where they were placed on ‘‘permanent
loan.’’ The cranium had suffered
extensive postmortem damage and was
partially restored at the AMNH by
Kenneth Mowbray at some date prior to
2002. In January 2002, a detailed
assessment of the human remains was
made by researchers at Columbia
University, and in August 2011, the
AMNH transferred the human remains
to the Department of Anthropology at
Columbia University. The remains
consist of a cranium representing one
adult individual. This individual was
identified as Native American based on
Strong’s documentation and noninvasive assessment of cranial features.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Strong, in his expedition field notes
(National Anthropological Archives,
Strong Papers, Box 21, Field Work
1938), refers to beginning excavations at
Sheyenne-Cheyenne site on July 8, 1938
(p.19a). He writes of the discovery of a
E:\FR\FM\16MRN1.SGM
16MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 50 / Monday, March 16, 2015 / Notices
partial bundle burial just beyond the
edge of the house. It is initially
identified as Burial #12, and later as
Burial 1 #12 at House 23. W. Raymond
Wood in his 1955 publication refers to
this site as the ‘‘Biesterfeldt or
Sheyenne-Cheyenne Site (32RM1)’’
(Plains Anthropological Society 1955
3:3–12) and describes it as ‘‘the remains
of a village of the formerly semisedentary Cheyenne Indians.’’ Strong
writes in his field notes that the site was
historically Cheyenne and was
abandoned after a Chippewa attack in
1790, citing Libby, Swanton, Thompson,
and others. Two years later, in Strong’s
1940 work (Smithsonian Miscellaneous
Collections, 100:353–394), he provides
the date of 1770 for the abandonment of
the site. He explained that Swanton
(1930), drawing on Thompson, believed
that the village had been burned not
much before 1790, while Henry (1897)
‘‘refers to the same event as occurring
about 1740.’’ At this point, Strong
‘‘assumed 1770 as a median date’’ (p.
371). Today, the Cheyenne are
represented by the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes (previously listed as the
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma)
and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana.
