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 possession of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, Effigy Mounds National
Monument, Harpers Ferry, IA. The
human remains were removed from
Allamakee and Clayton Counties, IA.
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 superintendent, Effigy Mounds
National Monument.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Effigy Mounds
National Monument professional staff
and Iowa Office of the State
Archeologist professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Ho–Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Iowa
Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa
Tribe of Oklahoma; Lower Sioux Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota;
Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma; Prairie Island Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota;

and Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation,

At an unknown date, human remains

individuals were removed from Waukon
Junction Rockshelter in Allamakee
County, IA, by unknown persons. No
further information regarding the site is
known. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from
Marquette Rockshelter in Clayton
County, IA, by unknown persons. No
further information regarding the site is
known. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Officials of Effigy Mounds National
Monument have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of five
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Effigy Mounds
National Monument also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), a relationship of shared group
identity cannot reasonably be traced
between the Native American human
remains and any present–day Indian
tribe.
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
September 2007, Effigy Mounds
National Monument requested that the
Review Committee recommend
disposition of six culturally
unidentifiable human remains to the
Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas
and Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation,
Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa as the aboriginal
occupants of the lands encompassing
the present–day Effigy Mounds National
Monument. One individual of the six
referenced in the request has since been
determined to be part of a repatriated
bundle burial. Its inclusion in the
request to the Review Committee was an
error and it is not included in this
notice.
Effigy Mounds National Monument is
located within the area covered by the
Treaty of September 21, 1832 between
the Sauk and Fox tribes and the United
States (Stat. L. VII 374), and the national
monument is located within the area
covered by the November 23, 1973 final
award of the Indian Claims Commission
to the Sauk and Fox tribes (4 Ind. Cl.
Comm. 367 [1957]). The Review
Committee considered the proposal at
its October 15–16, 2007 meeting and
recommended disposition of the human
remains to the Sac & Fox Nation of
Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska; Sac &

Fox Nation, Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
A November 28, 2007, letter on behalf
of the Secretary of the Interior from the
Designated Federal Official, transmitted
the authorization for the park to effect
disposition of the physical remains of
the culturally unidentifiable individuals
to the three Indian tribes listed above
contingent on the publication of a
Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register. This notice fulfills
that requirement.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Phyllis Ewing,
superintendent, Effigy Mounds National
Monument, 151 HWY 76, Harpers Ferry,
IA 52146, telephone (563) 873–3491,
before June 30, 2008. Disposition of the
human remains to the Sac & Fox Nation
of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska; Sac
& Fox Nation, Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
Effigy Mounds National Monument is
responsible for notifying the Ho–Chunk
Nation of Wisconsin; Iowa Tribe of
Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of
Oklahoma; Lower Sioux Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota;
Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma; Prairie Island Indian
Community in the State of Minnesota;
