the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural item. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
The one cultural object (no. 4217)
consists of burned wooden and cord
wrapped fragments attached to a glass
slide. The cultural object came into the
possession of Fallis F. Rees at an
unknown date. In 1968, Mr. Rees
donated his collection, including this
item, to the University of Denver.
In consultation with Santa Rosa
Indian Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria representatives, this object
was determined to be an unassociated
funerary object under NAGPRA.
Geographical and anthropological
evidence supports cultural affiliation
with the Santa Rosa Indian Community
of the Santa Rosa Rancheria. Museum
records indicate that the burned
fragments originated from a cremation
burial at Vernon Mound, in Sacramento
County, CA. Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria
representatives provided maps
identifying aboriginal territory inclusive
of Sacramento County as well as an
ethnographic report identifying
cremation as a traditional Yokut
funerary practice.
Determinations Made by the University
of Denver Department of Anthropology
and Museum of Anthropology
Officials of the University of Denver
Department of Anthropology and
Museum of Anthropology have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the one cultural item described above is
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 is
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• 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
object and the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
object should contact Anne Amati,

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date between 1899
and 1917, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a site believed to have
been in or adjoining to Sheboygan
County, WI, by Dr. Alphonse J. Gerend.
At least a portion of Dr. Gerend’s
collection was held at the Public Library
in Sheboygan with the intention that the
items be on exhibit there until a
museum or other appropriate gallery
was established in the city. At some
time following the establishment of the
Sheboygan County Historical Society in
1923, the Gerend Collection, including
the human remains, was transferred to
the custody of the Sheboygan County
Historical Society & Museum. The exact
circumstances or date of the transfer are
unknown. Later efforts by staff at the
Museum to inventory Dr. Gerend’s
collection included a 1994 inventory
where the bone was misclassified as a
potsherd (SCHM Object Number
3240.126). A subsequent inventory in
the fall of 2009 uncovered the
misidentification. The human remains
consist of a single cranial fragment. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Sheboygan
County Historical Museum
Officials of the Sheboygan County
Historical Museum have determined
that:
• Based upon non-destructive
physical analysis and the history and
collecting practices of the donor (Dr.
Alphonse Gerend), the human remains
are Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
PO 00000
Frm 00053

Sfmt 4703
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission, the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Tribes.
• Multiple lines of evidence,
including treaties, Acts of Congress, and
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Tribes.
• Other credible lines of evidence
indicate that the land from which the
Native American human remains were
removed is the aboriginal land of The
Tribes.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains is to
The Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
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 Tamara
Lange, Collection Coordinator/Registrar,
Sheboygan County Historical Museum,
3110 Erie Avenue, Sheboygan, WI
53081, telephone (920) 458–1103, before

that date if no additional requestors
come forward.
