Wisconsin; Red Lake Band of Chippewa
Indians, Minnesota; Sault Ste. Marie
Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan;
Sokaogon Chippewa Community,
Wisconsin; St. Croix Chippewa Indians
of Wisconsin; and the Turtle Mountain
Band of Chippewa Indians of North
Dakota, were invited to consult, but did
not participate.
Hereafter, all Tribes listed in this
section are referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted and Invited Tribes.’’
History and Description of the Remains
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an undetermined location, but
probably somewhere in Ogemaw
County, MI. The human remains were
found in the Ralph Stroebel collection
and in association with materials from
the Rifle River Earthworks (20OG1,
20OG2, 20OG3, and 20OG4). However,
notes describing Stroebel’s collection
from the Earthworks and surrounding
area do not list any bone materials.
Furthermore, the dates listed in the
notes do not match the dates written on
some of the specimens. These
discrepancies leave open the possibility
that the human remains are not actually
from the area around the earthworks.
According to accompanying labels the
individual was found in 1943. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are not listed
specifically in museum records, but
they may have been part of a large
accession of historical and archeological
material donated to the Historical
Society of Saginaw County, Inc. in 1987.
Most of the archeological material in the
Stroebel collection is known to have
been surface collected; the same is
likely true for the human remains.
However, no notes or other
documentation describing the
circumstances of discovery of the
remains are known to exist. The
fragmentary human remains are
presumed to be Native American based
solely on their probably having been
removed from a site or sites known to
have been occupied by Native
Americans in prehistoric times.
Determinations Made by the Historical
Society of Saginaw County, Inc.
Officials of the Historical Society of
Saginaw County, Inc. have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:23 Mar 15, 2019
Jkt 247001
are Native American based on their
general 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
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 Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Consulted and Invited
Tribes.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Consulted and Invited Tribes.
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 of these
human remains should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Jeffrey Sommer, Historical
Society of Saginaw County, Inc., 500
Federal Avenue, Saginaw, MI 48607,

indeterminate sex and one sub-adult of

known individuals were identified. The
11 associated funerary objects are one

quartz crystal fragment.
A Fresno City College field class
excavated the Gyer site, under the

determine if human remains were
present, the human remains described
