History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unidentified location in Emmet County,
MI. Sometime prior to January 26, 1984,
the Lakehead Pipe Line Company of
Superior, WI, transferred the human
remains (F.5.0) to the Petoskey
Michigan State Patrol. Subsequently,
both the human remains and associated
funerary objects were transferred to
Michigan State University, where they
were analyzed by Anthropology
Professor Dr. Norman Sauer. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is an
assemblage of glass beads, silver
brooches, silver earrings, coffin wood, a
PO 00000

copper/silver bracelet, possible leather,
and possible non-human hair.
On September 26, 2017, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unidentified location in Emmet County,
MI. The human remains (FA 045–17,
Gaylord Case #73–4245–17) were
discovered in a wooded area on private
property, and were collected by the
Grayling Crime Lab. On September 29,
2017, the Michigan State Police,
Gaylord Post, transferred the human
remains to Michigan State University’s
Forensic Anthropology Laboratory,
where they were analyzed by
Anthropology Professor Dr. Joseph
Hefner. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from
Mackinaw City in Emmet or Cheboygan
County, MI. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by Michigan
State University
Officials of Michigan State University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on
archeological context and biological
evidence.
• 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 one object described in this notice
is reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as

• 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 objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land (Emmet
County) from which the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects were
removed is the aboriginal land of the

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize

History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unidentified location in Emmet County,
MI. Sometime prior to January 26, 1984, the Lakehead Pipe Line Company
of Superior, WI, transferred the human remains (F.5.0) to the Petoskey
Michigan State Patrol. Subsequently, both the human remains and
associated funerary objects were transferred to Michigan State
University, where they were analyzed by Anthropology Professor Dr.
Norman Sauer. No known individual was identified. The one associated
funerary object is an assemblage of glass beads, silver brooches,
silver earrings, coffin wood, a copper/silver bracelet, possible
leather, and possible non-human hair.
On September 26, 2017, human remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an unidentified location in Emmet County,
MI. The human remains (FA 045-17, Gaylord Case #73-4245-17) were
discovered in a wooded area on private property, and were collected by
the Grayling Crime Lab. On September 29, 2017, the Michigan State
Police, Gaylord Post, transferred the human remains to Michigan State
University's Forensic Anthropology Laboratory, where they were analyzed
by Anthropology Professor Dr. Joseph Hefner. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from Mackinaw City in Emmet or Cheboygan
County, MI. No known individuals were identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
