Description
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from Lee
County, FL. At an unknown date, Dr.
J.W. Velie, a medical professional and
professor who lived in St. Joseph, MI,
and wintered in Florida reportedly
purchased the human remains and
artifact from an unknown individual
that were said to have been found in a
grave in 1880. From 1870 to 1893, Velie
was employed as an assistant curator for
the Academy of Science in Chicago, IL,
and following the Great Chicago Fire, he
conducted field work in Cuba, Florida,
and the Yucatan to collect specimens to
help rebuild the Academy’s collections.
The Grand Rapids Public Museum
acquired the human remains and
funerary object from Velie in 1909. The
age of the human remains is unknown.
The one associated funerary object is an
ornamental metal coin piece that has
been hammered and has punched holes.
Cultural Affiliation

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
information, geographical information,
oral history, and historical information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate

Museum has determined that:

this notice represent the physical
remains of four individuals of Native
