SUMMARY:
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 under the control of the
Carnegie Museum of Natural History,
Pittsburgh, PA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed from Emerson Cemetery, in
Hancock County, ME.
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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Aroostook Band of
Micmac (previously listed as the
Aroostook Band of Micmac Indians);
Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians;
Passamaquoddy Tribe; and the
Penobscot Nation (previously listed as
the Penobscot Tribe of Maine).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1912, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Emerson Cemetery
near Lake Alamoosook, in Orland,
Hancock County, ME. This was part of
an exploration of archaeological sites in
Maine by the Phillips Academy,
Andover, MA. In 1923, Phillips
Academy transferred a single
individual’s remains and associated
funerary objects to the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History, as part of a
large, representative sample of
archaeological material from all over the
United States. The individual is
represented by a single bone fragment
from Grave 65. No known individuals
were identified. The 18 associated
funerary objects are 3 gouges, 5 points,
1 broken point, 1 pebble, 3 celts, 1 knife,
1 adze, 1 plummet, and 2 water-worn
stones removed from Grave 65 and
Graves 61, 83, and 90.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were identified by
archaeologists at Phillips Academy as
being from the Red Paint phase,
identified by the extensive use of red
ochre in the burials. Red ochre has a
spiritual significance in the Wabanaki
cultural worldview, as illustrated in oral
tales published in 1894 (Rand, Legends
of the Micmacs). Creation stories and
other narratives place the Wabanaki
tribes in Maine from the earliest days.
The Wabanaki people have a long
history of protecting burial places.
Records from the 18th century
document the Wabanaki tribes desire to
maintain ancestral burials and
cemeteries undisturbed.
Orland, ME, is within the traditional
hunting and fishing territory of the
Penobscot tribe, and specific places in
the area are referenced in Penobscot

tribal legends (Speck, Penobscot Man:
The Life History of a Forest Tribe in
Maine; Siebert, Penobscot Legends). In
1775, the Provincial Congress of
Massachusetts recognized the Penobscot
tribe’s claim to ‘‘territories or
possessions, beginning at the Head of
Tide on the Penobscot-river, extending
six miles on each side of said river’’
(Godfrey, ‘‘The Ancient Penobscot, or
Panawanskek,’’ Historical Magazine,
Vol. 1., Series 3: 85–92). Although the
Emerson Cemetery was on property not
owned by Penobscot tribe, in 1918, the
same excavators from Phillips Academy
were refused permission to examine
similar Red Paint graves on located on
Indian Island, ME, on Penobscot tribal
lands.
Today, the Wabanaki tribes are
represented by the Aroostook Band of
Micmac (previously listed as the
Aroostook Band of Micmac Indians);
Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians;
Passamaquoddy Tribe; and the
Penobscot Nation (previously listed as
the Penobscot Tribe of Maine).
