History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown site in Baldwinsville,
Onondaga County, NY. In 1886, the
Oberlin College Museum received
human remains described as ‘‘Skull of
Onondaga Indian’’ acquired from an
‘‘Ancient Burial Place, Baldwinsville,
NY.’’ S.M. Dunbar is listed as the donor.
The human remains were retained by
Oberlin College after the museum’s
closure in the 1950s and are now in the
care of the Oberlin College Department
of Anthropology. The human remains
consist of one probable female,
approximately 18–35 years old.
‘‘Onondaga’’ is written in black ink on
the human remains. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Osteological examination identifies
these human remains as representing an
individual of Native American ancestry.
Their geographic affiliation with the
territory of the Onondaga Nation is
documented through collection
evidence, oral history, and scholarly
sources. During consultation, the
Onondaga Nation’s NAGPRA contact,
Tony Gonyea, identified Baldwinsville
as located in the heart of the traditional
area of the Onondaga Nation.
Archeological data demonstrate the
Onondaga Nation’s continued
occupation of the Baldwinsville area
since at least the Late Woodland period.

History and Description of the Remains
At some time in the 1920s, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location in Hamilton County,
TX. The fragmentary human remains
were given to the Anna Miller Museum
in Newcastle, WY, in 1969 and then
transferred to the University of
Wyoming Anthropology Department
Human Remains Repository (Record
HR202) in 1993. The human remains
represent a single adult male. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
At the time of the excavation and
removal of these human remains, the
land from which the human remains
were removed was not the tribal land of
any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization. In January of 2017, the
Human Remains Repository,
Department of Anthropology, University
of Wyoming, initiated consultation with
all Indian tribes who are recognized as
aboriginal to the area from which these
Native American human remains were
removed. These tribes are the Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma, and the Kiowa
Indian Tribe of Oklahoma. None of
these Indian tribes responded to the
invitation nor agreed to accept control
of the human remains. In May of 2017,
the Human Remains Repository,
Department of Anthropology, University
of Wyoming, agreed to transfer control
of the human remains to the Tonkawa
Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.
