Hawaiian organizations. 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 
should submit a written request to the University of Pennsylvania 
Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. If no additional requestors 
come forward, transfer of control of the human remains to the lineal 
descendants, Indian tribes, or Native Hawaiian organizations stated in 
this notice may proceed.

DATES: 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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to the 
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at

ADDRESSES: Dr. Julian Siggers, Director, University of Pennsylvania

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 under 
the control of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and 
Anthropology, Philadelphia, PA. The human remains were removed from 
unknown locations in Michigan; in Wayne County, Michigan and in 
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.
    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. 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 
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology 
professional staff in consultation with representatives of the 
Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin; Pokagon Band of Potawatomi 
Indians, Michigan and Indiana; and with the Michigan Anishinaabek 
Cultural Preservation & Repatriation Alliance, a non-federally 
recognized entity, representing the following federally recognized 
tribes: Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse Band of 
Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Hannahville Indian Community, 
Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert 
Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Michigan; Little River Band 
of Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa 
Indians, Michigan; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians 
of Michigan; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi, Michigan 
(previously listed as the Huron Potawatomi, Inc.); Saginaw Chippewa 
Indian Tribe of Michigan; and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 
Indians, Michigan, hereafter referred to as ``The Consulted Tribes.''

History and Description of the Remains

    At an unknown date between 1836 and 1839, human remains 
representing, at minimum, five individuals (UPM #: 97-606-35; 97-606-
44; 97-606-78; 97-606-563; 97-606-1220) were removed

[[Page 51212]]

by ``workers digging for buildings, roads, or gardens'' from an unknown 
mound site in Milwaukee County, WI. The human remains were discovered 
in the vicinity of Milwaukee and acquired by Increase A. Lapham, who at 
the time was conducting a survey of mounds in Wisconsin. Prior to 1839, 
Mr. Lapham sent the human remains to Dr. Samuel G. Morton for inclusion 
in his collection of human crania from around the world. The human 
remains represent a single individual, most likely female, 25-35 years 
of age; an adult female 50+ years of age; an adult male 30-40 years of 
age; an adult male 35-40 years of age; and an adult male 50+ years of 
age. Each of the five individuals is represented by a cranium without a 
mandible. The condition of all of the human remains is consistent with 
burial. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    At an unknown date between 1820 and 1837, human remains 
representing, at minimum, one individual (UPM #: 97-606-454) were 
removed from an unknown site in Michigan or Wisconsin by Dr. Richard S. 
Satterlee, Assistant Surgeon for the U.S. Army. In this capacity, Dr. 
Satterlee served at the Detroit Barracks, MI, Fort Howard, WI, Fort 
Mackinac, MI, Fort Winnebago, WI, and for a second term at Fort Howard, 
WI. It is during this time that the human remains were collected. In 
1837, Satterlee was sent to Florida. The human remains were transferred 
to Dr. Samuel Morton in Philadelphia for inclusion in his collection of 
human crania from around the world prior to 1839. The human remains are 
those of a single female individual estimated to be 20-30 years old and 
are represented by a cranium and mandible. There is little pathology 
represented on the bones and teeth, and the condition of the human 
remains suggests they were not buried. No known individuals were 
identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual (UPM #: 97-606-1222) were removed from an unknown site, 
possibly in Michigan. Prior to 1849, Mr. John P. Wetherill of 
Philadelphia sent the human remains to Dr. Samuel G. Morton. The human 
remains are represented by a cranium and mandible of a single male, 30-
40 years of age. This individual is identified as ``Natonake, a 
Menominee Chief.'' No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    At this time, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 
provided storage space for much of Dr. Morton's collections, including 
these human remains, until his death in 1851. In 1853, Dr. Morton's 
collection, including all of the human remains described above, were 
purchased from Dr. Morton's Estate and formally presented to the 
Academy of Natural Sciences. In 1966, Dr. Morton's collection was 
loaned to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and 
Anthropology. In 1997, the collection was formally gifted to the 
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
    Museum collections and published literature indicate that the seven 
sets of human remains date to the Historic Period. The human remains 
have been identified as Native American based on the specific cultural 
and geographic attributions in the museum records. Collector's records, 
museum documentation and published historical sources identify the 
human remains above as Menominee. Scholarly ethno-historic and 
anthropological publications and land cession records indicate that the 
areas from which the human remains were removed are within the 
traditional aboriginal territory of the Menominee Indians, and historic 
Menominee occupation sites within these areas have been identified.

Determinations Made by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of 
Archaeology and Anthropology

    Officials of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology 
and Anthropology have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of 7 individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 the 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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Dr. 
Julian Siggers, University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and 
Anthropology, 3260 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, telephone 
(215) 898-4050, by September 2, 2016. After that date, if no additional 
requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains 
to the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin may proceed.
    The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and 
Anthropology is responsible for notifying The Consulted Tribes that 
this notice has been published.

    Dated: July 8, 2016.

Manager, National NAGPRA Program.
