History and Description of the Human Remains

    In October of 1957, human remains and an associated object 
representing, at minimum, three individuals were removed from the Sun 
and Snow Mounds site (20WX7) in Wexford County, MI. Records of the 
University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA) 
note that the Director of the Cadillac-Wexford Public Library donated 
the human remains and the associated funerary object to the Museum on 
December 23, 1957. The human remains reportedly came from two separate 
burials, but how the site was found and how the human remains and 
associated funerary object were collected are unclear. The human 
remains include one child, 4-6 years old; one adolescent, 16-19 years 
old, possibly male; and one adult, indeterminate sex. The human remains 
date to the Woodland Period (850 B.C.-A.D. 1400) based on the 
diagnostic chert blade. No known individuals were identified. The one 
associated funerary object is one chert blade.

Determinations Made by the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office

    Officials of the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on cranial morphology, dental 
traits, accession documentation, and archeological context.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 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 part of the 
death rite or ceremony.
     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 the associated funerary object and any present-day 
Indian Tribe.
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of 
The Consulted and Invited Tribes.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and the 
associated funerary object were removed is the aboriginal land of The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and the associated funerary object may be to The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes.

Additional Requestors and Disposition
