History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date prior to 1921,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown grave in Pequaming
in Baraga County, MI, by Mr. Morgan
Hebard, a summer resident of
Pequaming. Hebard subsequently
donated the human remains to the
Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia in 1921. In 1936, the
human remains were loaned to the
University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology. In
1997, the remains were formally gifted
to the University of Pennsylvania. The
human remains consist of three cranial
fragments (temporal, parietal, and
occipital bones) of one adult male. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum and collector documentation
indicate that the human remains have
been dated to the early Historic Period.
Consultation, published information,
and land cessions associated with
Baraga County indicate that the
geographic location from which the
remains were removed is aboriginal to
the Chippewa tribe or people.
Determinations Made by the University
of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology
Officials of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and Bad River Band of the Lake
Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of
the Bad River Reservation, Wisconsin;
Keweenaw Bay Indian Community; Lac

History and Description of the Remains
On July 7, 1886, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were transferred from the
U.S. National Museum (today the
Smithsonian Institution’s National
Museum of Natural History) to the Army
Medical Museum (today the National
Museum of Health and Medicine). In
1880, affiliates of the U.S. National
Museum removed human skeletal
remains from Chernofski Harbor in
Unalaska, AK. Original records of the
collection are maintained by the
Smithsonian Institution, and through
coordination, we are able to determine
that one cranium was removed by T.H.
Bean and a second cranium was
removed by W.H. Dall. No known
individuals are identified in the historic
records, and no associated funerary
objects are present.
The cranium collected by T.H. Bean
was from a prehistoric Aleutian site at
Chernofski, Unalaska, and was given
Smithsonian Number 20825. Upon
transfer to the Army Medical Museum
in 1886, the cranium was accessioned
under a second number, PS 9666. This
human cranium is of a single adult, with
extensive loss of bone and several
perforations of the frontal and parietals.
The cranium collected by W.H. Dall,
also from a prehistoric Aleutian site at
Chernofski, Unalaska, was given
Smithsonian Number 20842. Upon
transfer to the Army Medical Museum
in 1886, the cranium was accessioned
under a second number, PS 9667. This
human cranium is of a single adult
female, with extensive hyperostosis and
several perforations of the frontal and
parietal bones.
No information exists about the
collection sites, other than both
craniums were collected at Chernofski,
Unalaska in 1880. The museum’s
consultation efforts identify one tribe
that remains geographically affiliated
