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 object
in the possession of the U.S. Department
of the Interior, National Park Service,
Effigy Mounds National Monument,
Harpers Ferry, IA. The human remains
and associated funerary objects 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 and associated funerary object
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; Sac & Fox Nation of

In the early 1970s, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from HWY 76
Rockshelter in Clayton County, IA, by
National Park Service archeologist
Wilfred Logan. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The HWY 76 Rockshelter site was
described by Logan as a Late Woodland
Period site representing a partial village
complex of people who used effigy
mounds for burial purposes.
In 1951 and 1952, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Spike
Hollow Rockshelter in Allamakee
County, IA, by National Park Service
archeologist Wilfred Logan. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Spike Hollow Rockshelter is a
multicomponent site that contained
both Oneota and Woodland artifacts.
In 1960, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Marquette–Yellow River
Mound Group No. 9 in Clayton County,
IA, during restoration work on Mound
66 by monument personnel. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a finely
worked biface with one notch.
The site consists of a bear effigy
mound, a bird effigy mound, and a
compound mound of seven conjoined
conicals and is presumed to be of the
Woodland Period based on other
cultural material from the site.
On the basis of archeological context,
material culture, and geographic
location, the mounds at Effigy Mounds
National Monument have been
identified as belonging to the Late
Woodland Period culture (1700–750
B.P.). The Oneota culture (800–300
B.P.), which replaced the Effigy Mounds
culture, occupied the area surrounding
Effigy Mounds National Monument and
is identified as being clearly ancestral to
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.
Linguistic, oral tradition, temporal and
geographic evidence reasonably
indicates that the following Sioux
Indian tribes possess ancestral ties to
the Effigy Mounds National Monument
region and the human remains and
associated funerary object described
above: Lower Sioux Indian Community
in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island
Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Shakopee Mdewakanton

The Treaty of September 21, 1832
(Stat. L. VII, 374) between the Sauk and
Fox and the United States, a cession
required of the Sauk and Fox as
indemnity for the expenses of the Black
Hawk War, demonstrates that the Sac &
Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and
Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation of
Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa are the aboriginal
occupants of the lands encompassing
the present–day Effigy Mounds National
Monument. Based upon an examination
of the historical and geographical
information, officials of Effigy Mounds
National Monument determined that the
Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas
and Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation of
Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa share a historic and
continuing affiliation with Effigy
Mounds National Monument lands, but
do not possess a cultural affiliation with
the human remains and associated
funerary object described above.
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 eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Effigy Mounds
National Monument also have
determined 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. Lastly, officials of Effigy
Mounds National Monument 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 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 Oklahoma;
Prairie Island Indian Community in the
State of Minnesota; Shakopee
Mdewakanton Sioux Community of
Minnesota; Upper Sioux Community,
Minnesota; and Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
contact Phyllis Ewing, superintendent,
