organization, or the ‘‘aboriginal land’’ of
an Indian Tribe pursuant to 43 CFR
10.11.

43 CFR 10.10(g)(2)(ii) and 10.16, the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Review Committee (Review
Committee) may make a
recommendation to the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary) for specific actions
for disposition of any human remains
and associated funerary objects not
already addressed in 43 CFR 10.11. In
June 2021, Michigan State University
requested that the Review Committee

the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan and
the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians, Michigan. The Review
Committee carefully considered the
request at its July 7, 2021 meeting and
recommended to the Secretary that the
proposed transfer of control proceed. An
October 19, 2021 letter transmitted the
Secretary’s independent review and
concurrence with the Review
Committee that:
• Michigan State University
consulted with every appropriate Indian
Tribe,
• None of The Consulted and Notified
Tribes and Groups objected to the
proposed transfer of control to the
Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan and
the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians, Michigan, and
• Michigan State University may
proceed with the agreed upon transfer of
control of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan and
the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians, Michigan.
Transfer of control is contingent on
the publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.

Based on the available information, the land from which these human
remains and associated funerary objects were removed is not the
``tribal land'' of an Indian Tribe or a Native Hawaiian organization,
or the ``aboriginal land'' of an Indian Tribe pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3006(c)(5) and 43 CFR 10.10(g)(2)(ii) and
10.16, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee (Review Committee) may make a recommendation to the Secretary
of the Interior (Secretary) for specific actions for disposition of any
human remains and associated funerary objects not already addressed in
43 CFR 10.11. In June 2021, Michigan State University requested that
the Review Committee consider a proposal to transfer control of the
human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice jointly to
[[Page 61791]]
the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan
and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan. The
Review Committee carefully considered the request at its July 7, 2021
meeting and recommended to the Secretary that the proposed transfer of
control proceed. An October 19, 2021 letter transmitted the Secretary's
independent review and concurrence with the Review Committee that:
Michigan State University consulted with every appropriate
Indian Tribe,
None of The Consulted and Notified Tribes and Groups
objected to the proposed transfer of control to the Match-e-be-nash-
she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan and the Sault Ste.
Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan, and
Michigan State University may proceed with the agreed upon
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of
Michigan and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan.
Transfer of control is contingent on the publication of a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register. This notice fulfills that
requirement.
