Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
History and Description of the Remains
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
On July 8, 1993, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual (HP.WK–0248.1) were
removed from the Merton Burial site
(BWK–0248) in Waukesha County, WI.
The Merton Burial site is located near
several known Potawatomi villages.
There are also early settler accounts of
the Potawatomi inhabiting this region of
Waukesha County at the time of contact.
The human remains were discovered by
a construction crew working on a
private residence. The crew contacted
the Waukesha County Sheriff’s
Department and County Coroner, who
in turn contacted the Historical
Society’s Burial Sites Preservation
Office. Historical Society staff collected
the remains that had been exposed and
excavated a cranium that was in situ.
The human remains were determined to
be those of a Native American male over
the age of 50. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

Historical Society of Wisconsin
Officials of the State Historical
Society of Wisconsin have determined
that:

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime before 2000, possibly in
1988, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown location in Walla
Walla County, WA. The human remains
were at the University of Idaho from
some unknown date until 2000, when
they were transferred to the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
VerDate Mar<15>2010

University. Notes at the University of
Idaho state the human remains were
collected on March 21, 1988, but no
additional information was located. No
known individuals were identified. The
eight associated funerary objects are 2
freshwater mussel shells, 1 bone awl, 2
smooth pebbles, 2 fragmentary pieces of
bird bone, and 1 fragment of a chipped
stone tool.
The human remains were determined
to be Native American based on the
nature of the dental wear and the
character of the associated funerary
objects. Present-day cultural affiliation
was based on the generalized location
from which the remains were removed
in Walla Walla County, WA. The
character of the associated funerary
objects suggests the human remains
probably date to the late prehistoric
period or between 2000 and 500 years
ago.
Determinations Made by the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University have determined that:
• 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 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the eight 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
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
