culturally unidentifiable human
remains. 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 2004, the Iowa Office of
the State Archaeologist, University of
Iowa, the State Historical Society of
Iowa, and the Office of the State
Archaeologist Indian Advisory Council
(a group composed of representatives of
Native American tribes in and from
Iowa) hosted a tribal conference where
21 federally-recognized tribes and 1
non-federally recognized tribe were
invited to develop the process for
disposition of culturally unidentifiable
human remains and associated funerary
objects in possession of the Office of the
State Archaeologist, University of Iowa,
and the State Historical Society of Iowa,
in accordance with Iowa law (Code of
Iowa 263B.8). Final drafting of the
process was conducted through ongoing tribal consultation involving
phone calls, mail, and email.
On May 30–31, 2006, the process
developed through consultation was
considered by the Review Committee. A
June 14, 2006, letter on behalf of the
Review Committee from the Designated
Federal Officer provisionally authorized
the Iowa Office of State Archaeologist to
proceed with the development of the
process for disposition. In 2007, the
Iowa Office of State Archaeologist and
the tribes completed the NAGPRA
process document. A March 25, 2008,
letter from the Assistant Secretary for
Fish and Wildlife and Parks, as the
designee for the Secretary of the
Interior, transmitted the authorization
for the transfer of control according to
provisions of the Code of Iowa 263B.8
and the NAGPRA process document,
subject to publication of a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal
Register. This notice fulfills that
requirement.
The State Historical Society of Iowa is
responsible for notifying the
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the
Cheyenne River Reservation, South
Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota;
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South

History and Description of the Remains
In 1961, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals
(2009.35.AS12 C3584–C3588, C3590–
C3594, C3596–C3600; 2009.35.AS12
C3589, C3605–C3608, C3610–C3615,
plus one additional unlabeled related
fragment F2003.25.2.1) were removed
from Grant’s Point Chippewa Cemetery
in Ashland County, WI. Leland Cooper
from Hamline University in Minnesota,
along with several archeology students,
excavated the Grant’s Point Chippewa
Cemetery site (47–AS–0012). A single
burial was excavated by Cooper’s
students with the aid of collector Al
Galazen; a single skull fragment
constitutes the second individual. The
remains and funerary objects were then
transferred to the Science Museum of
Minnesota. In the mid-1970s, the
remains and funerary objects were
transferred to the Wisconsin Historical
Society. No known individuals were
identified. The 31 associated funerary
objects include 4 brass buttons; 5 silver
brooches; 1 collection of white glass
beads; 1 lot of fabric fragments; 1 lead
and silver brooch fragments; 1
assemblage of hide, bark, wool, silk,
thimble, button, and beaded decoration;
1 basket fragment; 1 silver ring; 1
musket ball; 3 gunflint flakes; 1 steel fire
striker; 1 set of tweezers; 1 lot of metal
awl fragments; 1 knife blade; 1 shot and
brooch mold; 1 lead fragment; 1 lot of
birchbark fragments; 1 lot of cedar wood
fragments and square nails; 1 brass
kettle bail; 1 lot of scrapings from brass
kettle; 1 brass pail with missing handle;
and 1 tin pan.
A relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between these human remains and
funerary objects and the Bad River Band
of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa
Indians of the Bad River Reservation,
Wisconsin, and the Red Cliff Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin who are known to have
inhabited the region during the Historic
Period. The Grant’s Point Chippewa
Cemetery site was a small Ojibwe
cemetery that has an adjacent Ojibwe
village that was in use from the late 18th
to early 19th century. Consultation
resulted in the identification of the Bad
River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe
of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River
Reservation, Wisconsin, and the Red
Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
Indians of Wisconsin as direct
descendants of the occupants of the
village on Madeline Island.
