Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 101 / Friday, May 23, 2008 / Notices
Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida
Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of
Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation
of New York; Seneca Nation of New
York; Seneca–Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe,
New York (formerly the St. Regis Band
of Mohawk Indians of New York);
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New
York.
At an unknown date prior to 1891,
human remains representing a
minimum of seven individuals were
removed from unidentified locations in
New York State. Three individuals
represented by Field Museum of Natural
History catalog numbers 41800 and
41803 were removed by F.M. Noe from
‘‘New York’’ and ‘‘northern New York.’’
Mr. Noe was a collector and dealer of
natural history specimens and Native
American ‘‘relics.’’ His correspondence
specifically identifies the human
remains as Iroquois. Mr. Noe sold the
human remains to Franz Boas. The other
four individuals represented by Field
Museum of Natural History catalog
numbers 41804 and 41805 were
removed from ‘‘northern New York’’
probably by Mr. Boas. Mr. Boas then
sold all seven sets of human remains to
the Field Museum of Natural History in
1894. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object consists of one small fragment of
yellow ochre.
All of the human remains were
removed from sites in New York State.
Based on the conditions of the skeletal
elements and Mr. Noe’s correspondence,
the human remains date to the historic
period. The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
craniometric analysis, and the specific
cultural and geographic attribution in
Field Museum of Natural History
records. All seven individuals were
identified as ‘‘Iroquois’’ in Mr. Noe’s
and Mr. Boas’s notes. Descendants of
the Iroquois are the Cayuga Nation of
New York; Oneida Nation of New York;
Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin;
Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca
Nation of New York; Seneca–Cayuga
Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe, New York; Tonawanda Band of
Seneca Indians of New York; and
Tuscarora Nation of New York.
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of seven
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Field Museum
of Natural History also have determined
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the one object described above is
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. Officials of
the Field Museum of Natural History
have determined that, 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 object and the
Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida
Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of
Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation
of New York; Seneca Nation of New
York; Seneca–Cayuga Tribe of
Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe,
New York; Tonawanda Band of Seneca
Indians of New York; and Tuscarora
Nation of New York.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
contact Helen Robbins, Director of
Repatriation, Field Museum of Natural
History, 1400 South Lake Shore Drive,
Chicago, IL 60605–2496, telephone
(312) 665–7317, before June 23, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary object to the Cayuga
Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of
New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New
York; Seneca Nation of New York;
Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma;
Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York;
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New
York may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Field Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying the Cayuga
Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of
New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New
York; Seneca Nation of New York;
Seneca–Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma;
Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York;
Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of
New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New
York that this notice has been

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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 in the control of Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology,
Corvallis, OR. The human remains were
removed from mound sites in Fulton
County, IL.
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.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Ho–Chunk Nation
of Wisconsin; Iowa Tribe of Kansas and
Nebraska; Kickapoo Tribe of Indians of
the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas;
Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma; and Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska.
Between 1963 and 1964, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in Fulton County, IL, by
George Karl Neumann, a physical
anthropologist working out of Indiana
State University, Terre Haute, IN. In
1976, the Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology acquired
the Neumann Collection from Indiana
State University. The human remains
are labeled as F85–81, which is believed
to indicate they were removed from a
mound site in Fulton County, IL. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.

In January of 1935, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Illinois
Mound F14 in Fulton County, IL, by
George Karl Neumann, a physical
anthropologist working out of Indiana
State University, Terre Haute, IN. In
1976, the Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology acquired
the Neumann Collection from Indiana
State University. The human remains
are labeled as F14–50, which is believed
to indicate they were removed from a
Spoon River Focus mound site in Fulton
County, IL. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Ho–Chunk Nation of Wisconsin,
Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska,
Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma, and Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska have provided both written
and oral history of their traditional
occupation of Midwest areas east of the
Mississippi and have demonstrated land
area claims in Illinois. The Ho–Chunk
Nation of Wisconsin, Iowa Tribe of
Kansas and Nebraska, Iowa Tribe of
Oklahoma, Otoe–Missouria Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma, and Winnebago
Tribe of Nebraska traditionally occupied
areas that have been demonstrated to
include sites in Illinois. The tribes at
one time constituted a single tribe with
shared cultural affiliation. Specific
published works cite the Ho–Chunk
Nation of Wisconsin, Iowa Tribe of
Kansas and Nebraska, Iowa Tribe of
Oklahoma, Otoe–Missouria Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma, and Winnebago
Tribe of Nebraska, as having villages in
Illinois that included mound building
cultural practices. Based on the
preponderance of the evidence,
including the primary body of Dr.
Neumann’s work in Illinois, and
collection records, officials of the
Oregon State University Department of
Anthropology reasonably believe that
the human remains are affiliated with
the Ho–Chunk Nation of Wisconsin,
Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska,
Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma, Otoe–
Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma,
and Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
Officials of the Oregon State

Between 1930 and 1959, human

unknown mound site in Illinois, by
George Karl Neumann, a physical
anthropologist working out of Indiana

1976, the Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology acquired
the Neumann Collection from Indiana
State University. The human remains
are identified in the collection records
as a ‘‘Walcolid male.’’ No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Dr. Neumann collected human
remains from several archeological
projects with a focus on archeological
mound sites, skeletal characteristics of
Native American races, and general
human physical variation and skeletal
morphology. The culmination of this
research is published as ‘‘Archaeology
and Race in the American Indian,’’ in
the 1952 Yearbook of Physical
Anthropology Vol. 8. The Walcolid
morphology type Dr. Neumann
describes in this article references 45
‘‘undeformed’’ specimens he excavated
in the Spoon River Focus, central
Illinois area that served as the basis for
this type. The Neumann Collection
contained numerous Native American
human remains, the majority of which
are from sites associated with Mound
Builder cultures. The human remains
are determined to be Native American
based on skeletal morphology and
collection records.
