pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remain described above
represents the physical remain of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of the Department of
Anthropology at St. Lawrence
University 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 remain and
the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New
York.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remain should
contact Dr. Richard A. Gonzalez,
Department of Anthropology, St.
Lawrence University, Canton, NY
13617, telephone (315) 229–5745, before
September 29, 2008. Repatriation of the

after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.

Notice is here given in accordance

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession and control of the
University of Wyoming Anthropology

in Laramie, WY. The human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed from Goshen County, WY.

for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by University of
Wyoming Anthropology Department
Human Remains Repository
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Rosebud Sioux
Tribe of the Rosebud Indian
Reservation, South Dakota.
In 1977, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from near the old Bordeaux
Trading Post in Goshen County, WY, by
personnel from Fort Laramie, Goshen
County Sheriff’s Office, and Goshen
County Coroner, after the burial location
had been disturbed by earth leveling
activities associated with farming. No
known individuals were identified. The
four associated funerary objects are one
set of glass trade beads, one brass
button, one set of cloth fragments, and
one set of wooden coffin fragments.
The remains are a partial skeleton of
a female of probable mixed Native
American/Euroamerican parentage.
Some features on the cranium and
mandible suggest that the individual has
both Euroamerican and Native
American aspects in her parentage. The
cranial cap is partially mummified and
a stripe of red ocher or vermillion had
been painted down the center of the top
of the head, approximately at the part of
the hair. The woman was apparently
pregnant or had just delivered a child at
the time of her death. The child interred
with her is also likely of mixed
parentage and was likely a newborn
infant.
Historic background research and
ethnographic inquiries indicates that the
human remains are most likely related
to the Sioux groups that were known to
have intermarried with the Bordeaux
family and their employees at the old
Bordeaux Trading Post a few miles
below Fort Laramie near the North
Platte River. The Bordeaux name is still
carried by members of the Rosebud
Sioux Tribe and tribal representatives
identified specific bands of the Rosebud
Sioux Tribe that had married Bordeaux
Trading Post employees. Tribal
evidence presented for cultural
affiliation is based on review of records
afforded to the tribe, contact with the
Bordeaux family, and review of the
information from the Human Remains
Repository.
Officials of the University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native

at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony. Lastly,
