DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion for Native American Human Remains
and Associated Funerary Objects in the Possession of the Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA;
Correction
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary
objects in the possession of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were removed from Marquette County, MI.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3).
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the number of associated funerary objects
described in a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register on March 20, 2001 (FR Doc. 01-6895, pages 15752-15753). In
July 2008, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology identified
six additional associated funerary objects.
In the Federal Register of March 20, 2001, paragraph number 4 is
corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
In 1887, human remains representing two individuals were donated to
the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology by A. Kidder. No known
individuals were identified. The 18 associated funerary objects are 1
brass kettle, 1 wooden dish, 9 bone beads, 1 copper ornament with hair,
2 brass buckles, 1 iron tomahawk, 1 wooden handle, 1 lot of iron knife
fragments, and 1 lot of iron scissor fragments.
In the Federal Register of March 20, 2001, paragraph number 6 is
corrected by substituting the following paragraphs:
Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C 3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical remains of two individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology also have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 18 objects described above are 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.
Lastly, officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology
have determined that, 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 associated funerary
objects and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Michigan.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary
objects should contact Patricia Capone, Repatriation Coordinator,
Peabody Museum or Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, 11
Divinity Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138, telephone (617) 496-3702, before
September 12, 2008. Repatriation of the human remains and associated
funerary object to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Michigan may
proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is responsible for
notifying the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa
