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
University Department of Anthropology
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Oregon State University Department of
Anthropology have also 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 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.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. David McMurray,
Oregon State University Department of
Anthropology, 238 Waldo Hall,
Corvallis, OR 97331, telephone (541)
737–4515, before June 23, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Ho–Chunk Nation of Wisconsin,
Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, and
Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.

Notice.

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 central
Illinois.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

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

Between 1930 and 1959, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown mound site in Illinois, 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. This individual is
referenced in the accession records as
N104. 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 Neumann
Collection contained numerous Native
American human remains, the majority
of which are from sites associated with
Mound Builder cultures. Evidence in
the collection records indicates that
N104 is Native American and is from
one of the mound sites excavated by Dr.
Neumann.
The human remains are determined to
be Native American based on skeletal
morphology and collection records. 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

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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession of San Francisco State
University, Department of
Anthropology, San Francisco, CA. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Marin
County, CA.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by San Francisco
State University, Department of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California.
From 1980 to 1985, human remains
representing a minimum of five
individuals were removed from CA–
MRN–17, De Silva Island, Richardson
Bay, Marin County, CA, by San
Francisco State University staff under
the direction of Gary Pahl. Materials
from the excavations were jointly
curated by San Francisco State
University and Sonoma State University
Anthropological Studies Center until
1998, when all excavated materials from
CA–MRN–17 were transferred to San
Francisco State University. No known
individuals were identified. The 17
associated funerary objects are 1 elk
bone awl, 3 obsidian flakes, 2 lots of
obsidian debitage, 1 chert flake, 1 core,
1 scraper, 2 lots of chert debitage, 2
pieces of ground stone, and 4 carbon
samples.

Site CA–MRN–17 is a shell mound
that contains hearths and interments.
The five individuals described above
were found in three burials. One burial
was radiocarbon dated to A.D. 65±115.
This date is consistent with
archeological and linguistic evidence for
the presence of ancestors of the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California. A second burial was
radiocarbon dated to 3480±145 B.C.
This burial represents one of the earliest
Native American human remains
recorded in the San Francisco Bay area.
Archeological and linguistic research
does not indicate a clear cultural
affiliation for Native American human
remains from this early period.
However, consultation with tribal
representatives indicates that the human
remains are culturally affiliated with the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California. Since the archeological and
linguistic data are unresolved, and the
tribe has stated a desire to repatriate the
human remains, it is the opinion of
officials of San Francisco State
University given the totality of the
circumstances, that the human remains
from site CA–MRN–17 are reasonably
believed to be culturally affiliated with
the Federated Indians of Graton
Rancheria, California.
At an unknown date prior to 1962,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from the San Anselmo
Shellheap site (CA–MRN–74), Marin
County, CA. The information on
removal is according to Department of
Anthropology records. At an unknown
date, the human remains were donated
to the San Francisco State University
Department of Anthropology by an
unknown person. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The age of CA–MRN–74 is unknown.
The human remains were removed from
a Native American shell midden located
within the historically documented
territory of the Federated Indians of
Graton Rancheria, California. The
preponderance of available evidence,
indicates that the human remains are
culturally affiliated with the Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria, California.
Between 1969 and 1971, human
remains representing a minimum of
eight individuals were removed from
the Miller Creek Site (CA–MRN–138),
Marin County, CA, by San Francisco
State University staff under the
direction of Charles Slaymaker and
Michael Moratto. No known individuals
were identified. The six associated
funerary objects are one obsidian point,
one shell bead, and four ochre
fragments.
