Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by staff at the
University of Indianapolis, for the
Indiana State Museum and Historic
Sites Corporation. Following
identification of the human remains as
Native American, consultation
proceeded with representatives of the
Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma;
Delaware Nation, Oklahoma; Forest
County Potawatomi Community,
Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian
Community, Michigan; Match-e-benash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi
Indians of Michigan; Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
the Potawatomi, Michigan (previously
listed as the Huron Potawatomi, Inc.);
and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
Indians, Michigan and Indiana,
hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
On August 16, 2014, human remains
were observed by members of the public
at the shoreline of Hamilton Lake,
Steuben County, Indiana. The local
police department was immediately
contacted, and transported the human
remains to the Angola Fire Department
for assessment by the coroner.
Following notice of the discovery to
Indiana Conservation officers, scuba
divers from S.C.U.R.R.T. and the
Steuben County Sherriff’s Department
were dispatched to search for additional
human remains; none were found.
Indiana Conservation officers, in turn,
contacted forensic specialists from the
University of Indianapolis, who advised
that the remains were human and
possibly Native American.
As the human remains were not a part
of a recent crime scene and following
consultation with the Indiana
Department of Historic Preservation and
Archaeology, the human remains were
transported by Indiana Conservation
officers to the Indiana State Museum
and Historic Sites (ISMHS) on August
18, 2014. Subsequently, staff from the
University of Indianapolis further
assessed the human remains, and
identified them as Native American.
The human remains were inventoried,
and an osteological analysis was
conducted by staff at the University of
PO 00000

Indianapolis. They identified the human
remains, which consist of a portion of
the skull, as belonging to a single adult
female. Given the incomplete nature of
the skeletal material little information
was possible with regard to pathology,
cause of death, or specific age.
Based on witness interviews
conducted by Indiana Conservation
officers, the human remains were found
directly adjacent to areas frequented by
recreational water implements and
vehicles. As divers recovered no
additional human remains, these human
remains likely originated from a
disturbed context elsewhere in the lake
or adjacent areas. No other materials
were recovered. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Indiana
State Museum and Historic Sites
Corporation
Officials of the ISMHS have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on analysis
of the physical remains and the
archeological context.
• 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), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary object and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Citizen Potawatomi Nation,
Oklahoma; Forest County Potawatomi
Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville
Indian Community, Michigan; Match-ebe-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi
Indians of Michigan; Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
the Potawatomi, Michigan (previously
listed as the Huron Potawatomi, Inc.);
and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
Indians, Michigan and Indiana.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed is the aboriginal land of
the Citizen Potawatomi Nation,
Oklahoma; Forest County Potawatomi
Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville
