Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 20, 2022 / Notices
during 1970–1972; the highest number
assigned to a burial is No. 37. The
majority of the individuals are
represented only by fragmentary and
incomplete remains. No known
individuals were identified. The 21
associated funerary objects are seven
wood fragments, two iron fragments,
two silver brooches, two ribbon
brooches, two white seed beads, two
copper springs, two square nails, one
belt buckle, and one silver coin.
While the Gibraltar Site was occupied
as early as the Woodland period, the
human remains and associated funerary
objects listed in this notice all derive
from a historic period Native American
cemetery that was once located near the
intersection of West Jefferson and
Gibraltar Roads, in Gibraltar, Michigan.
In 1968, this burial ground was
bulldozed for development of the
Kingsbridge Apartment Complex.
The Wayne State University
archeologists who excavated the
Gibraltar Site did not compile written
reports, but their historical research led
them to believe that it was Wyandot.
More recent archeological work in the
region has also documented the
Gibraltar Site and possibly additional
nearby sites as Wyandot (see Demeter,
C.S. ‘‘Phase I Archaeological Survey and
Literature Search of the Proposed
Woodland Meadows Van Buren
Expansion Wetland Mitigation Site,
Parcel III D. Gibraltar, Wayne County,
Michigan’’). Also, historical records
document Wyandot settlements near
Gibraltar during the early 18th century,
as well as the establishment of the
village of Brownstown in present day
Gibraltar, in 1742. Today, the local
Wyandot of Anderdon Nation recognize
the area around Gibraltar as a significant
cultural landscape.

Description
Around 1962, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from 14DP2,
the Doniphan site, in Doniphan County,
KS, by an unnamed person. Around
1968, the unnamed person transferred
the human remains—a skull fragment—
to Les Hixon (Central Procurement
Division, Fort Leavenworth). In 1970,
Hixon transferred the human remains to
William Bass (who, at the time, was at
the University of Kansas. On October
18, 2019, Bass transferred them to the
UTK Anthropology Department (where
he had been since 1971). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
On May 20, 1970, human remains
representing, at minimum, one

individual were removed from 14DP2,
the Doniphan site, in Doniphan County,
KS, by an unidentified person. At an
unknown date, these human remains
were transferred to William Bass, and
on October 18, 2019, Bass transferred
them to the UTK Anthropology
Department. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Doniphan site, 14DP2, is a welldocumented historic Kaw village and
burial site located at the confluence of
Independence Creek and the Missouri
River. The two individuals likely were
interred at the Doniphan site sometime
during the post-contact period. In 1724,
the Kansa, who are represented by the
present-day Kaw Nation, were recorded
as inhabiting the site.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: archeological,
historical, and geographical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and Kaw Nation, Oklahoma.
