Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Wisconsin
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Forest County Potawatomi Community,
Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of
Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the
Lac du Flambeau Reservation of
Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of
Wisconsin; and the Upper Sioux
Community, Minnesota, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
In 1979, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Bluff Siding site (47–
BF–0045) in Buffalo County, WI, during
an extensive excavation conducted by
the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS)
for a Department of Transportation
project expanding State Highway 35.
The archeologists recovered fragmentary
human remains representing an adult
individual of indeterminate sex. The
human remains were found in two
distinct locations, both of which were
located in the eastern half of the site. A
burial context was recognized at one of
these locations that had been disturbed
by rodent and root activity. Three clam
shells found with these human remains
were classified by the excavating
archeologists as associated funerary
objects, but are not in WHS collections.
The human remains found in the second
location were scattered among
numerous clam shells and faunal
remains, but were not identified until
formal analysis of materials in the
laboratory occurred. No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a soil
sample containing clamshell fragments.
In 1927, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were

removed from the Britt-Decora site (47–
TR–0002) in Trempealeau County, WI.
Archeologist Leland Cooper, who was
associated with Hamline University in
Minnesota at the time, excavated the
site in 1927, and recovered the partially
cremated remains of a single adult from
one of the site’s 25 conical mounds. The
human remains were transferred from
Hamline University to the Wisconsin
Historical Society in 1978. Neither field
notes nor reports from Cooper’s
investigations were among the
transferred materials. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In the 19th or 20th century, one
cultural item was removed by an
unknown party from an unknown
location in California. Sometime in the
20th century, the object came into the
possession of the father of Mr. William
H. Bird, Sr. of Oakland, CA. The
circumstances under which Bird’s father
acquired the cultural item are unclear.
Bird gifted the cultural item to the
Oakland Museum of California on
September 26, 1974, when he
distributed his father’s collection of
Native American cultural items to the
Oakland Museum of California, Merritt
College, the Lowie Museum of
Anthropology (now known as the
Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of
Anthropology), and the Oakland
Museum Women’s Board White
Elephant Sale. The one object of cultural
