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 in the control of the Riverside
Metropolitan Museum, Riverside, CA.
The human remains were removed from
Greybull, Bighorn County, WY.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Riverside
Metropolitan Museum professional staff
in consultation with the Crow Tribe of
Montana.
In 1930, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from an exposed earth bank
near Greybull, Bighorn County, WY,
during highway construction by Lt. Col.
R. J. Pilcher. Lt. Col. Pilcher donated the
human remains to the Riverside
Metropolitan Museum in 1957. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
It was determined that the human
remains are Native American. Through
collections research, and based on the
geographic location of the discovery, the
human remains are reasonably believed
to be of Crow origin. Descendants of the
Crow are members of the Crow Tribe of
Montana.
Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan
Museum 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 Riverside
Metropolitan Museum 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 Crow
Tribe of Montana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Ennette Morton,
Museum Director, Riverside
Metropolitan Museum, 3580 Mission
Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501,
telephone (951) 826–5273, before
November 12, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Crow Tribe of
Montana may proceed after that date if
no additional claimants come forward.
The Riverside Metropolitan Museum
is responsible for notifying the Crow
Tribe of Montana that this notice has
been published.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with provisions of the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and an associated funerary
object in the possession of the Ohio
Historical Society, Columbus, OH. The
human remains and associated funerary
object were removed from Lucas
County, OH.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Ohio
Historical Society’s professional staff in
consultation with Dr. G. Michael Pratt of
Heidelberg University and the Lucas
County Coroner’s Office. The Forest

Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little River
Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan;
Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa
Indians, Michigan; and Ottawa Tribe of
Oklahoma, were notified and sent the
inventory records.
On May 23, 2007, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from along
the eastern end of Indian Island in the
Maumee River, Lucas County, OH, by a
staff member of the Lucas County
Coroner’s Office, and Dr. G. Michael
Pratt. Prior to removal, the Ohio
Highway Patrol had received a report
that human remains had been
discovered. Indian Island is owned by
the State of Ohio. No known individuals
were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a knife.
Dr. Pratt identified the human
remains as Native American based on
the presence of the cranial vault
configuration, the presence of Wormian
bones in the lambdoid cranial suture,
and the attrition present on the teeth.
The associated funerary object and other
artifacts found in the vicinity indicate
that these human remains probably
were buried during the period from A.D.
1760 to 1833.
Archeological and historical
information indicate that Ottawa bands
began to settle in the lower Maumee
valley beginning in A.D. 1740 to 1750.
Ottawa occupation of this region
continued until August 1794 when the
principal villages were burned by
Anthony Wayne’s expedition in the
days following the Battle of Fallen
Timbers. In the following summer of
1795, the Ottawa Tribe was one of the
signatories of the Treaty of Greenville
under the terms of which they ceded
their claim to much of the land in this
region. More land was ceded in treaties
signed between 1807 and 1817, but four
small reservations were retained for the
Ottawa in the lower Maumee valley.
Indian Island was part of the Roche de
Boeuf reservation established in the
Treaty of Detroit in 1807. In 1831 to
1833, the four reservations were ceded
to the United States in return for lands
in present-day Franklin County, KS. In
1867, the Kansas reservation
organization was dissolved and the
Ottawa sold their individual allotments
and moved to Oklahoma, and are
represented by the Ottawa Tribe of
Oklahoma.
Officials of the Ohio Historical
Society have determined that, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human
remains described above represent the
physical remains of at least three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Ohio Historical
