Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act,
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
control of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Washington, DC, and in the possession
of the Wisconsin Historical Society, (aka
State Historical Society of Wisconsin),
Museum Division, Madison, WI, that
meet the definition of unassociated
funerary object under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25

this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
In 1928, human remains and funerary
objects were removed from at least two
mounds located within the boundaries
of the Menominee Indian Tribe
Reservation, Menominee County
(formerly Shawano County), WI, by
Arthur P. Kannenberg and John V.
Satterlee. The exact location of these
mounds is not known. In 1950, the
Wisconsin Historical Society, Museum
Division, obtained the human remains,
associated funerary objects, and
unassociated funerary objects from the
wife of Arthur P. Kannenberg. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects are described in a companion
Notice of Inventory Completion. The 91
unassociated funerary objects are 89
earrings and earring fragments, and 2
silver brooches.
The Menominee Indian Reservation
falls within the ancestral and historic
territory of the Menominee people.
Archeological investigation has
uncovered additional historic burials in
this area. Additionally, archeological
research shows that earrings and
brooches, similar to the ones mentioned
above, are commonly found within
historic Indian burials throughout the
Great Lakes region. Furthermore,
Menominee oral history states that the
origin of the Menominee people began
at the mouth of the Menominee River,
which is approximately 60 miles from
the present-day Menominee
Reservation.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and Wisconsin Historical
Society, Museum Division, have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(B), the 91 cultural items
described above are 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and Wisconsin Historical Society,
Museum Division, 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 unassociated funerary
objects and the Menominee Indian Tribe
of Wisconsin.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Jennifer L. Kolb,

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the
Wisconsin Historical Society (aka State
Historical Society of Wisconsin),
Museum Division, Madison, WI. The
human remains were removed from the
Pueblo of Zuni, Catron County, NM.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was done by Wisconsin
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with the Zuni Tribe of the
Zuni Reservation, New Mexico.
Sometime prior to 1892, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were excavated from a depth
of several feet below the surface of the
present-day Pueblo of Zuni, Catron
County, NM, by the Hemenway
expedition. The Hemenway Expedition
1886–1896, was directed by Frank

professional staff determined the human
remains represent the physical remains
of an individual of Native American
ancestry. Based on geographical
location, the Society reasonably believes
the human remains are culturally
affiliated to the Zuni Tribe.
Officials of the Wisconsin Historical
Society, Museum Division have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of

remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from an unknown site in
central Washington State and Asotin
County, WA.
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 Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University, professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
In June and July of 1951, human
remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from the
Steptoe Burial site (45AS2), in Asotin
County, WA. The burials were removed
as part of an archeological study
performed by the Department of
Anthropology at Washington State
University under the direction of Dr.
Richard Daugherty. No known
individuals were identified. The 57
associated funerary objects are 4
projectile points, 2 scrapers, 1 bone
scraper handle, 1 lot of mussel shells, 1
lot of red ochre, 2 bone awls, 1 lot of
charcoal, 1 pestle, 2 lots of cedar wood
fragments, 3 lots of shell beads, 1 stone
bead necklace, 2 bifaces, 5 lots of bag
residue, 4 lots of animal bones, 1 stone
net sinker, 1 lot of tin can fragments, 2
fragments of flatware, 1 lot of buttons,
6 lots of fabric fragments, 3 lots of nails,
2 lots of metal fragments, 3 lots of glass
beads, 3 lots of modified wood
fragments, and 5 lots of leather
fragments.
The burial pattern recorded by the
excavators and the character of the
extant funerary items indicate that these
remains are Native American and that
they date to the Late Prehistoric Period
on the southern Plateau. The site is in
the vicinity of several ethnographically
known communities whom
anthropologists have characterized as
ancestral to the Nez Perce. The Nez
Perce are members of the Federallyrecognized Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho, and
1 of the 12 bands of the Confederated
PO 00000

Tribes of the Colville Reservation. The
site is also within the overlapping 19th
century territories of the Nez Perce and
Palus (Sprague 1998; Walker 1998).
Descendents of these communities are
known to be members of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
In 2001, a small jar of fragmentary
human remains representing a
minimum of two individuals was found
in the museum storage facility, but the
remains were likely removed from
Columbia Point, Asotin County, WA.
The jar was labeled ‘‘Columbia Point 80–
24.’’ Also contained in the jar was one
lot of soil from which the bones were
removed. Between 1977 and 1979,
archeological studies were performed at
Columbia Point by the Mid-Columbia
Archaeological Society. The site had
been heavily disturbed by looting. The
number 80–24 is reminiscent of a
collection numbering system used by
the Museum of Anthropology between
the 1950s and 1980s. The first part of
the number represents the last two
digits of the year the materials were
collected and the numbers after the dash
represent the order in which the
collections were recorded during that
year. This contextual information
strongly suggests that the remains are
Native American. No known individuals
were identified. The associated funerary
object is a soil sample.
Columbia Point has been determined
eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places as a
traditional cultural property. Columbia
Point is located at the mouth of the
Yakima River, which is upstream and
across the Columbia River from the
confluence of the Snake and Columbia
Rivers. Ethnographic and historic
records describe the area as a major
traditional gathering place for fishing
and trading. This area is located within
the overlapping aboriginal territory of
the Nez Perce, Palouse, Walla Walla,
Wanapum, and Yakama. According to
the ‘‘Indian Land Areas Judicially
Established by the Indian Court of
Claims 1978’’ at Index 96, as well as
early and more recent ethnographic
documentation, this area is within the
aboriginal territory of the Walla Walla.
Furthermore, early ethnographic
evidence indicates that the Palouse,
Wanapum, and Yakama also occupied
this area. Descendants of the Palouse,
