subgroup of the Mandan. In 1785, the
village was abandoned following a
smallpox epidemic and its inhabitants
moved to the Knife River region to live
alongside the Hidatsa. By 1862, the
Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara lived at
the Like-A-Fishook village. In 1937, the
three tribes became formally known as
the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation. Consultation
evidence supports the identification of
the human remains from the On-A-Slant
Village as Mandan, and the cultural
affiliation as the Three Affiliated Tribes
of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota.
Officials of the New York University
College of Dentistry 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 New York
University College of Dentistry also
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 the Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St, New York, NY 10010,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before June
1, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Three Affiliated Tribes of
the Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota that
this notice has been published.

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the New
York University College of Dentistry,
New York City, NY. The human remains
were removed from Colfax County, NE.
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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from a site
identified as a Pawnee Burial Site,
Schuyler, Colfax County, NE, by an
unknown collector. In 1922, the human
remains were accessioned by the
Department of Physical Anthropology at
the Museum of the American Indian,
Heye Foundation. In 1956, the human
remains were transferred to Dr.
Theodore Kazamiroff at the New York
University College of Dentistry. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum of the American Indian
records identify the provenience of the
human remains as a ‘‘Pawnee Burial
Site, Schuyler, Nebraska.’’ The cranial
morphology of the human remains
confirms that they belong to an
individual of Pawnee ancestry.
Consultations with the Pawnee Nation
of Oklahoma confirmed the
identification of the human remains
from the burial site as Pawnee.
Schuyler, NE, is located along the
Loup River, and corresponds to an area
of protohistoric (Lower Loup phase) and
historic Pawnee villages that have been
identified as Pawnee by the Pawnee
Nation and archeologists. It is likely that
the human remains date to the Lower
Loup phase or historic period. The Loup
River area was settled by the Skidi
Pawnee, one of four Pawnee bands, by
1700. Skidi Pawnee sites are identified
in historic documents dating as early as
1718, and they remained the primary
Pawnee band in the area for the next
century. By 1857, all four Pawnee bands
coalesced along the Loup River after
disease, warfare and land cessions
resulted in a restriction of Pawnee
lands. By 1875, the Pawnee left the
Loup River and settled on a tract of land

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Grand Traverse
Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,
Michigan and Little Traverse Bay Bands
of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from
Mackinaw City in Cheboygan County,
MI. At an unknown date, the human
remains came into the possession of
Walter C. Wyman of Chicago, IL. In
1915, Mr. Wyman donated the human
remains to the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation, New York
City, NY. In 1956, the human remains
were transferred to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University
College of Dentistry. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on the cranial morphology of
the human remains, the individual is
identified as Native American.
Information associated with the human
remains identify them as ‘‘----- [illegible]
Saugema, Ottawa Tribe.’’ The Ottawa
are also known by the name Odawa.
‘‘Saugema’’ is an Odawa family name in
the Mackinaw area and variants are
recorded for the Little Traverse Bay
Bands of Odawa. Although a surname is
listed for the human remains, lineal
descendants could not be identified
because the specific identity of the
individual could not be determined.
The identification of a surname
indicates that the human remains date
to the Historic period.
The area of Mackinaw City
corresponds to the territory of the
Odawas after European contact. The
Odawa people entered the written
record in 1615, when the French
encountered them at the eastern shores
of Lake Huron on the Georgian Bay.
Soon after this, the Odawas left the
Lower Peninsula of Michigan because of
Iroquoian raids, but returned to
Michigan after the Iroquois were
repelled from the area by the Odawas
and other Great Lakes tribes in the mid–
1600s. By 1673, the Odawas had
established villages at the Straits of
Mackinac. One village was located at
Michilimackinac, in present-day
Mackinaw City. A letter dating to 1710
describes Odawa mortuary practices at
Michilimackinac that are consistent
with the physical condition of the
human remains. Odawa people have
remained in the Mackinaw area since
their return in the 17th century. In
addition, Odawa oral traditions identify
the Mackinac area as an area of
aboriginal occupation for many

No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Given the absence of associated
funerary objects, the antiquity of the
human remains is unknown. Puget
Sound is located in the aboriginal
territory of the Lushootseed-speakers of
the Southern Coast Salish people. In the
original museum ledger the human
remains are described as a ‘‘skull with
very flat head’’ with a comment stating
that the individual was ‘‘probably
Salish’’ (in parenthesis in the original
document). The morphology of the skull
shows clear signs of induced physical
modification that happened during the
life of the individual. The practice of
skull modification by strapping infants
(with the exception of slaves and the
very poor) to hard cradleboards was a
custom common to many Southern
Coast Salish people and documented in

A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the New York
University College of Dentistry professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa
Indians, Michigan and Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan.
At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Mackinaw City in Cheboygan County, MI. At
an unknown date, the human remains came into the possession of Walter
C. Wyman of Chicago, IL. In 1915, Mr. Wyman donated the human remains
to the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, New York City,
NY. In 1956, the human remains were transferred to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University College of Dentistry. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Based on the cranial morphology of the human remains, the
individual is identified as Native American. Information associated
with the human remains identify them as ``----- [illegible] Saugema,
Ottawa Tribe.'' The Ottawa are also known by the name Odawa.
``Saugema'' is an Odawa family name in the Mackinaw area and variants
are recorded for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa. Although a
surname is listed for the human remains, lineal descendants could not
be identified because the specific identity of the individual could not
be determined. The identification of a surname indicates that the human
remains date to the Historic period.
The area of Mackinaw City corresponds to the territory of the

Odawa people have remained in the Mackinaw area since their return in
the 17th century. In addition, Odawa oral traditions identify the
Mackinac area as an area of aboriginal occupation for many generations
prior to European contact, and Mackinaw City is part of the ancestral
lands of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
Officials of the New York University College of Dentistry 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 New York University College
of Dentistry also 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 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 Dr.
