History and Description of the Remains

    In 1960, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals 
(one adult and one infant) and 17 associated funerary objects were 
removed from the center of Buie Mound site (23MN9) in Monroe County, 
MO. Materials were collected during archeological testing by the 
University of Missouri, Columbia, in advance of the construction of the 
dam to impound the Salt River for the creation of Mark Twain Lake. The 
human remains and objects were originally housed at the University of 
Missouri, Columbia. In February 2007, the collection was moved to 
Illinois State Museum, Springfield, where it is located today. The 
human remains were determined to be those of one adult male, 
represented by cranial remains, dental remains, and a partial 
postcranial skeleton and one infant of unknown sex as represented by 
three bone fragments. No known individuals were identified. The 17 
associated funerary objects are 1 ceramic sherd, 1 biface fragment, and 
15 pieces of lithic debitage. Documentation indicates that the site 
dates to the Late Woodland Period (A.D. 400-900).

Determinations Made by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis 
District

    Officials of the St. Louis District have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on morphological 
characteristics of the skeletal remains, archeological context, and 
objects associated with the human remains.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 308 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 5,899 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), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day 
Indian tribe.
     According to a final judgment of the Indian Claims 
Commission, the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the 
Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska, the Sac & Fox 
Nation, Oklahoma, and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
     Treaties in 1804, 1815, and 1816, indicate the land from 
which the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects 
were removed was ceded by the Sac and Fox and is the aboriginal land of 
the Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska, the Sac & Fox 
Nation, Oklahoma, and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to the Sac & Fox 
Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska, the Sac & Fox Nation, 
Oklahoma, and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization 
not identified in this notice that wish to request transfer of control

After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to the Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska, the 
Sac & Fox Nation, Oklahoma, and the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi 
in Iowa may proceed.
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District is responsible 
for notifying the Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska,
