University of Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO. The human remains were
removed from an unknown geographic
location in Wisconsin.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
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 University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Bad River Band of the Lake Superior
Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad
River Reservation, Wisconsin; Forest
County Potawatomi Community,
Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of
Wisconsin; Lac Courte Oreilles Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the
Lac du Flambeau Reservation of
Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of
Wisconsin; Oneida Tribe of Indians of
Wisconsin; Red Cliff Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians
of Wisconsin; Sokaogon Chippewa
Community, Wisconsin; and
Stockbridge Munsee Community,
Wisconsin.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in Wisconsin, by
D.M. Andrews. In 1963, Mrs. Walter
Steele donated the human remains to
the museum. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The remains of this individual are ear
bones. Although ear bones do not
contain unique indicators, the human
remains are reasonably believed to be
Native American based on the collecting
history of the museum as well as the
types of items included in the Steele
donation of the D.M. Andrews
collection.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum 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.
Wisconsin is the aboriginal land of

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the
Lac du Flambeau Reservation of
Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of
Wisconsin; Red Cliff Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians of
Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians
of Wisconsin; and Sokaogon Chippewa
Community, Wisconsin, based on
Indian Land Cessions 1784–1894 and
oral tradition. The Oneida Tribe of
Indians of Wisconsin moved to
Wisconsin from New York. In the Treaty
of 1821 and the Treaty of 1822, 8
million acres of land held by the
Menominee in present-day Wisconsin
were provided for the use of the Oneida
Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin. On
August 18, 1821, the Stockbridge
Munsee Community (Wisconsin)
purchased 2 million acres along the Fox
River, in present-day Wisconsin. Today,
the reservation boundaries encompass
the two townships of Red Springs and
Bartelme. Subsequently, they left New
York, sold their New York land
holdings, and moved to the land
purchased from the Menominee and
Winnebago Tribes. The Tribes listed in
this paragraph represent all of the
Federally-recognized Indian Tribes
residing in Wisconsin. These Tribes are
members of the Wisconsin Inter-Tribal
Repatriation Committee. The Ho-Chunk
Nation of Wisconsin; Lac Courte
Oreilles Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Oneida
Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; and
Sokaogon Chippewa Community,
Wisconsin, signed the disposition
agreement that was presented to all of
the Tribes consulted. None of the Tribes
opposed disposition of the human
remains described above to these four
Indian Tribes.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum 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 University of Colorado Museum
have determined, pursuant to 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the
human remains is to the Ho-Chunk
Nation of Wisconsin; Lac Courte
Oreilles Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Oneida
Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; and
Sokaogon Chippewa Community,
Wisconsin.
Representatives of any Indian Tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains or
any other Indian Tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1) should contact Steve Lekson,

The determinations in this notice are
the sole responsibility of the museum,

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 and associated funerary objects
was made by Minnesota Indian Affairs
Council professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community
in the State of Minnesota; Prairie Island
Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Santee Sioux Nation,
Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of
the Lake Traverse Reservation, South
Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota;
and Upper Sioux Community,
Minnesota.
In 1968, human remains representing
a minimum of six individuals were
removed from the Birch Lake Burial
Mound Group, (21GD61), Goodhue
County, MN, during archeological
excavations conducted by the
University of Minnesota for the
Northern States Power Company. The
University of Minnesota transferred
control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Minnesota Indian Affairs Council per a
transfer agreement dated June 16, 1989.
No known individuals were identified.
The two associated funerary objects are
a small ceramic mortuary vessel and a
ceramic potsherd.
Based on the material culture and
manner of internment, these individuals
have been identified as Native
American. According to records in the
Office of the Minnesota State
Archaeologist, including a report by
Elden Johnson, the funerary objects and
the mound group pattern indicate a
probable Woodland Period temporal
affiliation, a broad archeological
classification that cannot be identified
with any present-day Indian Tribe or
group.
Officials of the Minnesota Indian
Affairs Council 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
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.

Officials of the Minnesota Indian

represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American

determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), the two 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

determined, pursuant to 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the Native

ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and associated funerary
objects in the possession of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, St.
Paul and Bemidji, MN. The human remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Goodhue County, MN.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR
10.11(d). 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

A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary
objects was made by Minnesota Indian Affairs Council professional staff
in consultation with representatives of the Flandreau Santee Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake
Traverse Reservation, South Dakota; Spirit Lake Tribe, North Dakota;
and Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota.
In 1968, human remains representing a minimum of six individuals
were removed from the Birch Lake Burial Mound Group, (21GD61), Goodhue
County, MN, during archeological excavations conducted by the
University of Minnesota for the Northern States Power Company. The
University of Minnesota transferred control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council per
a transfer agreement dated June 16, 1989. No known individuals were
identified. The two associated funerary objects are a small ceramic
mortuary vessel and a ceramic potsherd.
Based on the material culture and manner of internment, these
individuals have been identified as Native American. According to
records in the Office of the Minnesota State Archaeologist, including a
report by Elden Johnson, the funerary objects and the mound group
pattern indicate a probable Woodland Period temporal affiliation, a
broad archeological classification that cannot be identified with any

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 associated funerary objects and any present-day Indian Tribe.
The Native American human remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from the aboriginal land of the Flandreau Santee Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota; Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota;
Santee Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake

Community, Minnesota.
Representatives of any other Indian Tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects or any other Indian Tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1) should contact James L.
