This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Kansas State
Historical Society professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes,
Oklahoma [previously listed as
Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of
Oklahoma]; Kaw Nation, Oklahoma;
Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana; and The Osage Nation
[previously listed as Osage Tribe]
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Consulted
Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
On June 30, 2014, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from 114
South Scott Street, St. Francis,
Cheyenne County, KS. The human
remains were found in a home-made
coffin located in a building that had
recently been purchased by an
individual. Cheyenne County Kansas
Sheriff Cody Beeson was notified of the
discovery, whereupon he, Undersheriff
Rodriquez, KBI agent Mark Kendrick,
Deputy Coroner Dr. Mary Beth Miller,
and Melvin Coffer visited the site. Coffer
suspected that the skeletal remains had
been used in ceremonies performed by
the Oddfellows. Sheriff Cody Beeson
took possession of the human remains
and contacted Robert J. Hoard, Kansas
State Archeologist. At Hoard’s request,
on June 30, 2014, Sheriff Cody
transferred the human remains to
Hoard. They arrived at the Kansas State
Historical Society on July 17, 2014. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains include the major
parts of a human skeleton in fair
condition, but evidence of weathering
suggests the remains had been exposed
to the open for an unknown period of
time. Osteological analysis by Michael
Finnegan, Ph.D., D–ABFA indicates the
remains belong to a female, 35–40 years
of age, and morphological attributes of
the cranium and femur indicate Native
American ancestry. Because of the
weathering of the elements, it is
believed that the human remains were
