Ojibwe. The cultural item was
subsequently purchased by a collector
named Jonathan Holstein, who sold it to
Mary and Francis Crane on August 9,
1978. The Cranes then donated it to the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science on
May 27, 1983. The one cultural item, a
dream symbol (AC.11657), is a sacred
object related to dreams that could be
used in the Grand Medicine Society or

Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota,
indicate that the one cultural item is
Ojibwe and is from the Bois Forte
Indian Reservation, Minnesota.

Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the 1 cultural item described above is a
specific ceremonial object needed by
traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the one cultural item and the
Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake) of the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota.

American human remains and

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human

Wood professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the Kaw Nation,
Oklahoma; Omaha Tribe of Nebraska;
Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma;
Ponca Tribe of Nebraska; The Osage
Nation (previously listed as the Osage
Tribe); and The Quapaw Tribe of
Indians.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1982, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals, including
two subadults and one adult, were
removed from the Laughlin Cairns Site
on Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski
County, MO. The individuals were
collected from Cairns 2, 3, and 7 by
Environmental Consultants, Inc., during
an excavation of site 23PU221. No
known individuals were identified. The
five associated funerary objects include
one thick black rim sherd, one shell
tempered with incised lines parallel to
the rim; two gray/pink chert flakes; and
one small triangular biface flake of
white chert.
The human remains and the
associated funerary objects from this site
date to the Late Maramec Spring
subphase (A.D. 900–1500), based on
relation to other Cairn burial sites.
Cultural affiliation to the
aforementioned tribes stems from
aboriginal lands established on
historical maps and traditional burial
practices.
In 1982, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals,
including two adults, were removed
from Fort Leonard Wood/Mark Twain
National Forest Joint Use Land in
Pulaski County, MO. The individuals
were collected from a cairn site by
Environmental Consultants, Inc. during
an excavation of site 23PU222. No
known individuals were identified. The
53 associated funerary objects include
one beige colored Scallorn projectile
point; one pink and gray Scallorn
projectile point; one grayish-white long
Scallorn projectile point; three large
modified pieces of chert; 25 small chert
flakes; one small piece of hematite; one
large dark brown rough stone; one
grayish-tan Scallorn projectile point;
one grayish-white Rice projectile point
