History and Description of the Remains

    In the 1950s or 1960s, human remains representing, at minimum, 17 
individuals were found in an unknown location along Route 173, in Lake 
County, IL. The human remains were donated to the Lake County Discovery 
Museum around the same time. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In January and June 1962, human remains representing, at minimum, 
11 individuals were discovered in a gravel quarry owned by Vulcan 
Materials Company, Consumers Division. The site was designated as 
Illinois Archaeology Site L-65, along the Des Plaines River, Lake 
County, IL. The burial site was ``uncovered after workers for a gravel 
company had stripped away the top layer of ground. The final excavation 
was done largely by the staff of the Lake County Museum.'' The human 
remains were taken to the museum by Robert Vogel. The human remains 
were identified as eight adults and 3 children. No known individuals 
were identified. The 2 associated funerary objects are the jaw and 
intact teeth of a horse, and a necklace of bear teeth, shells, and 
fossilized crinoid stem beads.
    In July 1959, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from a site on private land in Lake County, IL. 
The Lake County Sheriff was called to the James Kleth home on Ackerman 
Road, Antioch, where John B. Draundt was digging on the south side of 
the house and discovered human remains. County officials determined the 
land was a Native American burial ground. In 1976, the Office of 
Sheriff stated that ``these bones were turned over to Mr. Vogel, who 
was the museum director at the time.'' No known individuals were 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    In the late 1950s or early 1960s, human remains representing, at 
minimum, four individuals were found in Newport Township, IL, and 
donated to the museum around the same time. The human remains were 
identified as three adults and one child. No known individuals were 
identified. The one associated funerary object is a rat skull.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from an unknown area believed to be in McHenry 
County, IL. No other information is available for the human remains. No 
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.

Determinations Made by the Lake County Discovery Museum

    Officials of the Lake County Discovery Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice are Native American based on catalogue records and 
collection information.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 34 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the three associated 
funerary 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), a relationship of shared 
group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native American 
human remains and associated funerary objects, and any present-day 
Indian tribe.
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed is the aboriginal land of The Consulted and Invited Tribes.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders, indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains and 
associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects may be to The Consulted 
and Invited Tribes.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any Indian tribe 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 Diana Dretske, Lake County 
Discovery Museum, 27277 North Forest Preserve Road, Wauconda, IL 60084, 
telephone (847) 968-3381, email [email protected], by July 8, 2016. 
After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to The Consulted and Invited Tribes may proceed.
    The Lake County Discovery Museum is responsible for notifying The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published.
