Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains under 
the control of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison, WI. The human 
remains were removed from Poor Man's Farrah site in Grant County, WI.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 
43 CFR 10.11(d). The determinations in this notice are the sole 
responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the 
Wisconsin Historical Society, Museum Division, professional staff in 
consultation with representatives of the Forest County Potawatomi 
Community, Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; and the Menominee 
Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1980, human remains representing, at minimum, 11 individuals 
(1983.73.1, 1983.73.5, 1983.73.8, 1983.73.10, 1983.73.11, 1983.73.15, 
1983.73.19, and 1983.73.27) were removed from Poor Man's Farrah (47-GT-
0366) in Grant County, WI. The human remains were excavated from one 
linear mound and three conical mounds by archeologists from the 
Wisconsin Historical Society for a highway expansion and bridge 
construction project. The human remains were determined to represent 
seven adults, one subadult, and three infants. No known individuals 
were identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
