SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of the Neville Public 
Museum of Brown County, Green Bay, WI. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from Door County and Kewaunee 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). 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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Neville 
Public Museum of Brown County professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Menominee 
Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1961, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Rowleys Bay in Door County, WI. A partial skeleton of 
a 35-50 year-old person of indeterminate gender was discovered by 
landowner and excavated by a crew from Neville Public Museum of Brown 
County, under direction of Ron Mason. The human remains were brought to 
Neville Public Museum of Brown County after excavation. No known 
individuals were identified. The three associated funerary objects are 
1 copper point, 1 antler flaker, and 1 vial with bone fragments and red 
ocher.
    Associated copper point and red ocher suggest a Late Archaic date 
of burial. The Menominee and Ho-Chunk people are associated with long-
term, pre-contact residence in northeast Wisconsin.
    In 1961, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Porte de Morts Site in Door County, WI. A partial 
skeleton of one adult of indeterminate gender was excavated by a crew 
from Neville Public Museum of Brown County, under direction of Ron J. 
Mason and Carol I.

Mason. The human remains were kept at Lawrence University until 1994 
when they were returned to the Neville Public Museum of Brown County. 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.
    The burial was made by people of the North Bay (pre-contact Middle 
Woodland Period) culture. The Menominee and Ho-Chunk people are two 
tribes whose origins lie in eastern Wisconsin, although their 
connection to the North Bay culture is not directly established by 
archeological evidence.
    Between 1900 and 1930, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from the DeBaker Farm, Red River, Kewaunee 
County, WI. A partial skeleton of one adult, possibly female, was 
discovered by John P. Schumacher. The human remains were among sherds 
donated to the Neville Public Museum of Brown County by John P. 
Schumacher in 1935. No known individuals were identified. The 38 
associated funerary objects are pottery sherds.
    Recognizable pottery types include North Bay (Middle Woodland 
Period), Point Sauble collared and Madison folded lip (both Late 
Woodland types) and undecorated Oneota sherds from the late prehistoric 
period. One sherd may be historic.
    This location was ceded to the U.S. Government by the Menominee 
people but is near Red Banks, a place of ancestral origin of some Ho-
Chunk clans. Accompanying sherds indicate a pre-contact burial date is 
likely, but not conclusive.

Determinations Made by the Neville Public Museum of Brown County

    Officials of the Neville Public Museum of Brown County have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 3 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 41 objects described 
in this notice 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.
     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 Ho-Chunk 
Nation of Wisconsin and Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Louise Pfotenhauer, Neville Public Museum of 
Brown County, 210 Museum Place, Green Bay, WI 54303, telephone (920) 
448-7845, email Pfotenhauer_lc@co.brown.wi.us, by December 17, 2015. 
After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and Menominee Indian Tribe of 
Wisconsin may proceed.
    The Neville Public Museum of Brown County is responsible for 
notifying the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Menominee Indian 
Tribe of Wisconsin that this notice has been published.
