Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka,
KS. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from a
creek bank in Cherokee County, KS.
This notice is published as part of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Kansas State
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians; Eastern Shawnee
Tribe of Oklahoma; Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma; Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma;
Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma;
Seneca Nation of Indians (previously
listed as the Seneca Nation of New
York); The Osage Nation (previously

History and Description of the Remains
On October 3, 2015, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Cherokee
County, KS. Four 15 year-old boys were
camping in rural Cherokee County, KS,
when they discovered the remains of a
human skull near a creek bank on a
tributary of Shoal Creek. They notified
the Cherokee County Attorney, Nathan
Coleman, who then contacted the
Cherokee County Sheriff, David Groves.
Sheriff Groves contacted forensic
anthropologist Dr. Michael Finnegan,
who examined the remains and
determined them to be, more likely than
not, from an American Indian male,
approximately 30–40 years old. The
human remains were determined to be
approximately 500 years old. The
human remains were subsequently sent
to the Office of the State Archaeologist,
Kansas Historical Society, on December
5, 2016. No known individuals were

identified. The one associated funerary
object is an animal metatarsal.
Determination of cultural affiliation is
based on historic maps of the territories
of Kansas and Nebraska available at
University of Kansas Libraries and the
Kansas Historical Society, early
historical accounts, and archeological
evidence of the tribes known to be
associated with the area.
Determinations Made by the Kansas
State Historical Society

Society have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the one object described in this notice
is reasonably believed to have been

• 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 Osage Nation (previously listed
