of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Missouri Department of Natural
Resources, Jefferson City, MO. The
human remains were removed from
Clarksville, in Pike County, MO.
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. 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 Missouri
Department of Natural Resources
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Sac & Fox Nation,
Oklahoma; Sac & Fox of Missouri in
Kansas and Nebraska; and the Sac & Fox
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1962 and 1996, human
remains representing, at minimum, 29
individuals were removed from the
Clarksville Mound Group (site 23PI6) in
Pike County, MO. The Clarksville
Mound Group was originally recorded
in 1952 and described as a group of six
mounds. In 1962, the site was bulldozed
in order to develop a sky-ride and
tourist attraction, and five of the six
mounds were destroyed. One accretion
mound survived, under the sky-ride
platform, and was incorporated into the
commercial operation. Verbal and
newspaper accounts report large
numbers of human remains were
removed or destroyed at the time, and
some human remains were displayed as
a part of the tourist attraction.
In 1995 and 1996, the City of
Clarksville, the owner of the site,
contacted the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources, State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) for
assistance after terminating the lease to
the tourist attraction. Human remains
were eroding out of the damaged
mound, and due to the severity of the
erosion problem, the SHPO and the City
of Clarksville decided to undertake
excavations to remove the threatened
burials. The excavations were expanded
as more burials were discovered. During
the excavation, human remains
representing, at minimum, 22
individuals were removed from the site.
No known individuals were identified.
The two associated funerary objects are
one lot of ancalusa shell beads and one
Scallorn point. In 2002, additional
human remains representing, at
PO 00000

minimum, four individuals were
transferred to the SHPO by a local
collector who had been on the site in
1962. In 2006, additional human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were transferred to the
SHPO by the University of MissouriColumbia.
The area of Pike County, MO, was
ceded by the Sauk and Fox in a series
of treaties with the United States
between 1804 and 1816. The Sauk and
Fox are represented by the present day
Sac & Fox Nation, Oklahoma; Sac & Fox
of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska;
and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa. Cultural affiliation
was determined based on tribal history
and the historical association of these
tribes to the counties bordering the
Mississippi River, including Pike
County, MO.
Determinations Made by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources
Officials of the Missouri Department
of Natural Resources have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 29
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the two objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as

• 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 the Sac & Fox Nation,
Oklahoma; Sac & Fox of Missouri in
Kansas and Nebraska; and the Sac & Fox
Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Judith Deel, Missouri
Department of Natural Resources, P.O.
