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 under the control of
the Illinois State Museum, Springfield,
IL. The human remains were removed
from the Crawford Farm archeological
site, located on the south bank of the
Rock River in Rock Island County, IL.
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

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Illinois State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas
and Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation,
Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1956 and 1958, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Crawford Farm archeological site
(11RI81) in Rock Island County, IL, by
a group of amateur artifact collectors.
The collectors later donated the human
remains and other materials removed
from the site to the Putnam Museum of
History and Natural Science in
Davenport, IA. In 1996, the Putnam
Museum of History and Natural Science
transferred its Crawford Farm collection
to the Illinois State Museum in
Springfield (Accession 1996–105). This
collection includes artifacts, shells, and
animal bones from 34 pit features. In
2013, the Illinois State Museum loaned
part of its Crawford Farm collection to
the Illinois State Archeological Survey
in Champaign-Urbana for an analysis of
animal remains. During this analysis,
one fragmentary human tarsal bone (left
cuboid) was discovered in a bag of
animal bone from Pit 10. The age and
gender of the individual are not known.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on archeological evidence and
historical records, the Crawford Farm
site has been identified as the second of
several historic Saukenuk villages
occupied by Sauk Indians from about
A.D. 1790 to 1830. The presence of
horse remains in Pit 10 affirms that the
human remains found in this feature
were associated with the historic
Saukenuk village occupation at the site.
The human remains are likely Native
American because they were associated
with a village occupied by as many as
100 lodges of Sauk Indians in the early
nineteenth century. Historical records
linking Saukenuk village with the Sauk
Indian tribe include maps and reports
prepared by American explorers and
Indian agents. Members of other tribes
(Ho-Chunk/Winnebago, Menominee,
Ottawa, and Potawatomi) occasionally
visited Saukenuk village, but the
primary occupants were Sauk and/or
Mesquaki (Fox).

Determinations Made by the Illinois

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Illinois State

consultation with representatives of the
Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope
and the Native Village of Barrow Inupiat
Traditional Government.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1930–1931, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from the
ground surface in the vicinity of Barrow

in North Slope Borough, AK. The
remains were collected by Mollie Ward
Greist, a native of Indiana who lived in
Barrow from 1921–1936 with her
husband, Dr. Henry Greist, a physician
and Presbyterian missionary, and their
son David. Mollie Greist was an avid
collector of bird eggs and nests, which
she processed and shipped to several
zoologists in the United States. In June
of 1930, Greist collected a nest
containing six eggs of the Lapland
Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus) that
had been built inside a human cranium.
Greist shipped the nest, eggs, and
cranium to Richard M. Barnes, a
zoologist with a large bird-egg collection
and museum in Lacon, IL. In July of
1931, following a severe snow storm
that killed many birds, Greist collected
another nest containing six eggs of the
Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis)
that had also been built inside a human
cranium. As before, she shipped the
nest, eggs, and cranium to Richard M.
Barnes.
In 1947, Richard M. Barnes donated a
large collection of zoological materials
to the Illinois State Museum (ISM 1947–
8), including both of the aforementioned
sets of crania, nests, and eggs from the
Barrow area. The crania were
discovered by ISM zoologists during a
rehabilitation of the Illinois State
Museum’s bird-nest collection. The
cranium with the Lapland Longspur
nest (Individual B; ISM NAGPRA–7449)
is that of an adult female. It is relatively
complete, but lacks dentition and is
eroded by weathering. The cranium
collected with the Snow Bunting nest
(Individual A; ISM NAGPRA–7448) is
also an adult female. It is not as
weathered as Individual B, but it is
fragmented and less complete (dentition
and parts of the maxilla and other
elements are missing). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Both human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on metric analysis and physical
characteristics of the cranial vault. In
addition, catalog information recorded
by Richard M. Barnes indentifies
Individual A as ‘‘Esquamo.’’ The
remains are likely to be culturally
affiliated with the Inupiat Eskimo based
on their surface provenance, weathered
condition, and the concordance of these
factors with historical Inupiat funerary
practices in the Barrow area. First, both
remains were obtained from the ground
surface. Although the original location
is not known, the crania probably were
found on the tundra ‘‘inland from
Barrow,’’ where Mollie Greist and David
Greist reported seeing hundreds of
Native American skeletons lying on the
