identification of the human remains as
Native American is consistent with
observed burial practices, such as a
burial in a pit without evidence of a
coffin, the lack of buttons or other
artifacts indicative of Euro-American
clothing, and morphological
characteristics.
Mackinaw City is located on the south
side of the Straits of Mackinac. During
this period, the French had missions,
traders, and a military presence at the
Straits. During the late 17th and early
18th century, the Odawa were known to
inhabit both sides of the Straits, as
documented by French missionary and
military records. At this time, Huron/
Wyandotte refugees, fleeing attacks by
the Iroquois, also lived on the north side
of the Straits, at present day St. Ignace.
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians resided on the north side of the
Straits as well. A band of Chippewa was
reported at times in the Cheboygan area.
Other tribes were known to pass
through the area, often stopping to
trade. Although the tribal affiliation of
the human remains found at Mackinaw
City is not scientifically certain, the
remains are likely culturally affiliated
with the Odawa, as they were the tribe
most commonly reported in the
Mackinaw City area during the period in
question. The Odawa who lived at what
is now Mackinaw City moved to Little
Traverse Bay in the 1740s, and their
descendants are members of the Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan, based in what is now Emmet
County.
The Village of Mackinaw City
transferred the human remains found in
the water main trench to the Michigan
Historical Center with the
understanding that the Center would
arrange for reburial after studies were
complete. The Center entered into
consultation with the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in the
spring of 2008. The tribe has provided
the Michigan Historical Center with
documentation of their continuous
presence in the Straits of Mackinac area
for at least 350 years. The NAGPRA
coordinators of the Sault Ste. Marie
Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan
and Wyandotte Nation, Oklahoma have
sent the Michigan Historical Center
letters of support for repatriation of the
human remains removed from
Mackinaw City to the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
Officials of the Michigan Historical
Center 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 American ancestry. Officials of
the Michigan Historical Center also have
VerDate Aug<31>2005

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 Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Barbara Mead, Michigan
Historical Center, P.O. Box 30740,
Lansing, MI 48909–8240, telephone
(517) 373–6416, before October 10,
2008. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Little Traverse Bay Band
of Odawa Indians, Michigan may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Michigan Historical Center is
responsible for notifying the Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians of Michigan; and
Wyandotte Nation, Oklahoma that this
notice has been published.
