The site was investigated by Forest
Service and contract archeologists and
determined to be a boulder cache
containing ceramic sherds and human
skeletal remains. An area of charcoal
rich soil was screened during the
investigation, resulting in the recovery
of a small number of ceramic sherds and
bone fragments. A total of 478 pieces of
human bone were recovered. No paired
bones were identified that would
indicate more than one individual;
although differential wear on two teeth
may indicate it is possible two
individuals are present.
Lamar period ceramics present at the
site, which are associated with the Iron
Horse, Dyar and Bell phases, suggest a
date of approximately A.D. 1450–1670.
Following 1670, this region was
abandoned by Native Americans for a
period of time, and the surviving
populations are thought to have
eventually joined with the Creek
Confederacy. Based on a review of the
archeology, ethnography and history of
the region, officials of the Forest Service
believe the human remains are Creek in
affiliation. The Creek are represented by
the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas;
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Coushatta Tribe of
Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation,
Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek
Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco
Tribal Town, Oklahoma.
Officials of the Chattahoochee-Oconee
National Forests have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the ChattahoocheeOconee National Forests also have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), the 131 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the
Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
have determined, 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 associated funerary
objects and the Alabama-Coushatta
Tribe of Texas; Alabama-Quassarte
Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Coushatta
Tribe of Louisiana; Kialegee Tribal
Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek)
Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band of
Creek Indians of Alabama; and
Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
Tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the
Anthropological Studies Center
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Round Valley
Indian Tribes of the Round Valley
Reservation, California.
In January 1982, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Diamond H. Ranch Site #2 (CA–MEN–
164), in Mendocino County, CA. The
human remains were collected from a
prehistoric feature exposed in a road cut
bank during a surface survey for the
Diamond H. Ranch Biomass Generating
Plant. This collection, curated under the
accession number 82–01, represents
results of the survey of CA–MEN–164,
near the town of Covelo, Mendocino
County, CA. The collection has been
housed at the Anthropological Studies
Center since it was accessioned in 1982.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Analysis of the artifacts found at site
CA–MEN–164 indicates a probable
occupation between A.D. 1500 and
1856. Although the exact age and
identity of the individual is unknown,
more likely than not, the human
remains fall within the period indicated
above and are Native American.
Ethnographic documents indicate CA–
MEN–164 was located within the
territory of the Ukomno’m division of
the Yuki. Ethnographic accounts and
information provided by representatives
of the Round Valley Indian Tribes of the
Round Valley Reservation, California,
demonstrate cultural affiliation with the
human remains, as the Round Valley
Indian Tribes are composed of
descendants of the Yuki, Concow
Maidu, Little Lake and other Pomo,
Nomlaki, Cahto, Wailaki and Pit River
peoples.
Officials of the Anthropological
Studies Center, Archaeological
Collections Facility, Sonoma State
University, have determined, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Lastly, officials of
the Anthropological Studies Center,
Archaeological Collections Facility,
Sonoma State University, have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

In 1966, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Naomikong Point Site
(20CH2), Chippewa County, MI, during
excavations by the University of
Michigan. This site is on Federal land,
and excavation occurred under a U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Special Use Permit. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Based on archeological context, the
human remains are identified as more
likely than not Native American.
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), a relationship of shared group
identity cannot be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and any present-day Indian
Tribe.
These Native American human
remains are from the aboriginal lands of
the Chippewa and Ottawa. According to
the Treaty of Washington, March 28,
1836 (7 stat. 491), there are five presentday Indian Tribes that have aboriginal
land in the area where the remains were
excavated. These five Tribes are the Bay
Mills Indian Community, Michigan;
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and
Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little
River Band of Ottawa Indians,
Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of
Odawa Indians, Michigan; and the Sault
Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of
Michigan. The aboriginal land Tribes
that are in closest proximity to the site
are the Bay Mills Indian Community,
Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians of Michigan. Letters
of support for the disposition of the
Native American human remains to the
Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan,
and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians of Michigan were sent by the
Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan;
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and
Chippewa Indians, Michigan;
Keweenaw Bay Indian Community,
Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert Band of

the Native American human remains
from the Naomikong Point Site to the
Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan,
and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa

Officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Lastly, officials of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Forest Service, have
determined, pursuant to 43 CFR

human remains is to the Bay Mills
Indian Community, Michigan, and the

any other Indian Tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR
