documentation states that the Osage,
Ponca, Kaw, Omaha, and the Kansa
(Quapaw) made up a single tribe that
lived on the banks of the Ohio River.
The tribe eventually migrated
downstream, residing along the Wabash,
and later reached the Mississippi River.
Over a period of time, the tribe migrated
northward along the Mississippi River
until reaching the Missouri River. The
tribe split into several different tribes
during this migration period: Those who
migrated northward from the Missouri
River were later known as the Omaha;
those downstream from the Mississippi
became the Quapaw; the Ponca and
Osage went westward from the Missouri
River toward the Osage River. In 1541,
Desoto had contact with the Quapaw on
the Mississippi River. In the late 17th
century, Europeans met Osage Indians
on the Osage River and reported that
they roamed over much of Kansas,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Illinois
(Bailey 1973 and 1995; Chapman 1982;
Graves 1949; and Hunter 2009). The
descendants of the Dhegiha Siouan are
members of the Absentee-Shawnee
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; Delaware
Nation, Oklahoma; Hannahville Indian
Community, Michigan; Kaw Nation,
Oklahoma; Omaha Tribe of Nebraska;
Osage Nation, Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma; Ponca Tribe of
Nebraska; Quapaw Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma; and the Tonkawa Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma.

professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico;
and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni

History and Description of the Remains
Between 1935 and 1955, human
remains and associated funerary objects
were recovered from the SU site, Oak
Springs Pueblo, Tularosa Cave, Apache
Creek Pueblo, the Turkey Foot Ridge
site, Wet Leggett Pueblo, Three Pines

2005; 70 FR 56483–56484, September

reassessment of archeological materials
removed from the Gila National Forest.
Further, in 2010, a large portion of the
North American archeological
collections were moved to a new
location in the museum. During the
course of the re-examination and
transfer, additional human remains and
associated funerary objects from
Tularosa Cave, Apache Creek Pueblo,
the Turkey Foot Ridge site, Wet Leggett
Pueblo, Three Pines Pueblo, and Valley
View Pueblo were discovered that had
not been described in the previously
published NICs. The additional human
remains and associated funerary objects
are currently in the possession of the
Field Museum of Natural History. The
human remains represent a minimum of
21 individuals. No known individuals
were identified. There are five
additional associated funerary objects
which include sherds, a stone tool,
faunal remains, and adobe.
