History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, three 
individuals were removed from Mesa Verde in Montezuma County, CO. They 
were acquired by Kalamazoo resident Donald Boudeman, who collected 
Native American material culture in the first half of the 20th century. 
In July of 1961, some years after her husband's death, Donna Boudeman 
donated the human remains to the Michigan State University Museum. In 
February of 2019, during an intertribal consultation, the remains of 
these individuals were found in the Michigan State University Forensic 
Anthropology Laboratory. The human remains belong to a child 6.5-8.5 
years old and two adult females. No known individuals were identified. 
No associated funerary objects are present.
    Mesa Verde was occupied by Ancestral Puebloan people from 
approximately A.D. 500 to 1200. All the individuals listed in this 
Notice of Inventory Completion are reasonably believed to be Puebloan, 
based on the provenience and documentation associated with the human 
remains. A relationship of shared group identity can be traced between 
Ancestral Puebloan people and modern Puebloan groups, based on oral 
tradition, historical evidence, archeological, geographical, and 
scientific studies.

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 represent the physical remains of three individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and The Tribes.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or 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 Judith 
Stoddart, Associate Provost, University Arts and Collections, Michigan 
State University, 287 Delta Court, East Lansing, MI 48824, telephone 
(517) 432-2524, email [email protected], by September 29, 2022. After 
that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains to The Tribes may proceed.
    Michigan State University is responsible for notifying The Tribes 
that this notice has been published.
