Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 16 individuals were removed
from unknown locations in Michigan.
These ancestors arrived at the Forensic
Anthropology Laboratory (FAL) from
police authorities and private citizens
who had found human remains on their
property. At some point, likely in the
1960s and 1970s, these ancestors were
included in (former) teaching
collections and disassociated from case
and donation paperwork. As the FAL
only accepts cases from within
Michigan, these ancestors were most
likely removed from Michigan. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals (catalog
numbers 2007.77.4; 2007.77.5) were
removed from Kalamazoo County, MI.
On an unknown date, these individuals
were acquired by Kalamazoo County
resident, Donald Boudeman, who
collected Native American material
culture in the first half of the twentieth
century. In 1961, Boudeman’s wife,
Donna Boudeman, donated the human
remains together with Mr. Boudeman’s
collection to the Michigan State
University Museum. Database records
indicate these individuals were
recovered from a mound near
Vicksburg. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from a known geographic
location (Michigan). This location is the

United States Court of Claims.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, Michigan State
University has determined that:

remains of 18 individuals of Native
American ancestry.

Indian Tribe.

ACTION:
In accordance with the Native

State University has completed an
inventory of human remains and

remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Emmet County, MI.
DATES: Repatriation of the human

in this notice may occur on or after June

SUMMARY:
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Emmet County, MI. This
individual arrived at Michigan State
University as a police case in 1969
(Forensic Anthropology Lab (FAL) case
number F.2.69), after a metal detectorist
located the remains of a coffin burial
along Five Mile Creek. The police
removed human remains belonging to
this individual, along with the
associated funerary objects. After
ancestry was determined to be Native
American, the human remains and
associated funerary objects were
donated to Michigan State University
(with a final donation date of 1971). In
May of 1972, additional remains

Frm 00155

belonging to this individual were
recovered by the Michigan State Police
and donated to MSU. The burial is
believed to have been an extended
burial, with the head pointing towards
the west. Given the nails and wood, this
coffin burial most likely dates between
1760 and 1820. After the analysis was
complete, the human remains of this
individual were stored with other
forensic cases and the associated
paperwork was filed (there were no
computer database records of the
analysis or final determination). This
individual was mistaken for a cold case
until 2022, when a reanalysis of several
cold cases at the FAL prompted a reinvestigation of this individual as well,
at which time it was learned that the
human remains had been previously
identified as belonging to a Native
American.
The 572 associated funerary objects
are 40 silver brooch fragments, three
brooch pins, 16 conical silver bobs, 28
silver balls, five silver loop fragments,
two complete bangles, two tiered-andfaceted silver bobs, one complete
teardrop bangle tied with fabric, 29
pieces of scrap metal, eight nail
fragments with associated wood, eight
scraps of loose fabric, 21 decorated
silver band fragments (representing four
distinct armbands), one amber bottle
glass fragment, one burned glass
fragment, one animal bone, one animal
claw, one small bit of hair, three
unidentified organic materials, two
unidentified iron fragments, 25 pieces of
scrap silver, six indigenous ceramic
sherds, one piece of charcoal, one lot
consisting of fly casings, one piece of
fabric, 29 seed beads, and 336 assorted
glass beads (brown doublet, tan doublet,
faceted, dark green, brown, blue, white,
amber).
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects 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,
biological, geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, Michigan State
University has determined that:
