Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by State Archaeological
Research Center and Omaha District
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Yankton Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota.
History and Description of the Remains
Human remains that were excavated
from Akichita Site (39BF0221) are
presently located at the South Dakota
State Archaeological Research Center
(SARC).
In 1962, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from the historic component of
the Akichita site (39BF221) in Buffalo
County, SD. The human remains were
collected during a salvage excavation at
the site under the direction of Robert
Gant, State Archaeological Commission,
Vermillion, SD. The human remains and
funerary objects were transported to the
Commission’s office at the W.H. Over
Museum, Vermillion, SD.
In 1974, the collections were
transferred to the newly established
SARC. The human remains were then
transferred to the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville to be inventoried
by Dr. William Bass.
When the human remains were
returned to the SARC in the 1980s, what
was believed to be all of the human
remains were repatriated to Frank Fools
Crow, Oglala Lakota Nation.
In 1999, SARC conducted a review of
the remaining 39BF221 collection and
located fragments of human remains
from these burials along with 95
funerary objects. These additional
human remains are from all four
individuals, an adult male, two
children, and an infant. No known
individuals were identified. The
associated funerary objects are 2 lots of
white shell tubular wampum beads; 7
white glass tubular beads; 2 pieces of
textile; 4 fragments of red silk ribbon; 1
fragment of fabric with glass beads
attached; 2 unmodified faunal bones; 3
lots of wood coffin planking and wood
coffin fragments; 25 metal coffin nails;
2 secondary flakes; 7 fragments of shoe
leather; 39 brass oval hawk bells with

Jkt 238001
textile fragments; and 1 incomplete
china doll (‘‘Frozen Charlotte’’ doll).
The human remains were collected
from coffin burials in the historic
component of the site. The human
remains are determined to be Native
American based on the associated burial
objects and history of the site as
associated with a Native American
cemetery. The funerary objects
associated with the burials, as well as
the types of nails used for the coffins,
dates the burials between 1860 and
1890. It is likely the Akichita site is
associated with the historic Native
American cemetery near the old
townsite of Fort Thompson. This
townsite and cemetery was occupied
beginning around 1866. Between 1866
and 1890, the Yanktonai tribe was the
majority population in the area, and the
cemetery near Fort Thompson is
associated with the Yanktonai. It is
believed that 39BF221 is also associated
with the Yanktonai. The Yanktonai are
represented today by the Yankton Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota.
Determinations Made by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Omaha District
Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Omaha District have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of four
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 92 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 Yankton Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota.

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
