ground, sometimes in association with
remnants of wooden coffins. Second,
erosion of the cranial surfaces indicates
that both human remains were exposed
to weathering for a period of time.
Third, historical observations of Inupiat
cemeteries and funerary practices have
shown that the standard treatment of the
dead was to wrap each body in animal
skins or cloth, remove it from the village
by sled, and place it in a cemetery
where the bodies ‘‘sleep on the ground.’’
˙
A cemetery associated with Utqiagvik, a
precontact Inupiat community located
at modern-day Barrow, was located
about 1.5 miles south of Barrow near the
banks of Isatkoak Lagoon. A series of
investigators removed more than onehundred Inupiat human remains from
this cemetery in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, and it is the
most likely source of the human
remains collected by Mollie Greist.
Determinations Made by the Illinois
State Museum
Officials of the Illinois State Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 Inupiat Community of
the Arctic Slope and the Native Village
of Barrow Inupiat Traditional
Government.
