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 Lake County 
Discovery Museum, Wauconda, IL. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from unknown locations.
    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 Lake 
County Discovery Museum professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck 
Indian Reservation, Montana; Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior 
Chippewa Indians of Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa 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.); Pokagon Band of 
Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and Indiana; Sac & Fox Nation, Oklahoma; 
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; and the Sault Ste. Marie 
Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan. The following tribes with 
aboriginal territory in Lake County, IL, were also invited to 
participate but were not involved in consultations: Bad River Band of 
the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River

St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; and the Turtle Mountain Band 
of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota. All tribes listed are hereafter 
referred to as ``The Consulted and Invited Tribes.''

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1970, human remains representing, at minimum, 13 individuals 
were placed in the Lake County Discovery Museum collection. The museum 
has no record of when these human remains were added to the collection 
or how they came to the museum. There is no additional information 
available about the human remains. No known individuals were 
identified. The human remains have been stored in the museum based on 
the type of bone fragment (i.e. vertebrae are stored together). 
Accession records indicate that some of the bone fragments are related 
to other bone fragments in the collection. The two associated funerary 
objects are one lot of pottery sherds and one bird skull.
    Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the Secretary of the Interior may make a 
recommendation for a transfer of control of culturally unidentifiable 
human remains and associated funerary objects. In June 2016, the Lake 
County Discovery Museum requested that the Secretary, through the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee, 
recommend the proposed transfer of control of the culturally 
unidentifiable Native American human remains and associated funerary 
objects in this notice to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa 
Indians, Michigan. The Review Committee, acting pursuant to its 
responsibility under 25 U.S.C. 3006(c)(5), considered the request at 
its July 2016 meeting and recommended to the Secretary that the 
proposed transfer of control proceed. A September 9, 2016, letter on 
behalf of the Secretary of Interior from the National Park Service 
Associate Director, Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science 
transmitted the Secretary's independent review and concurrence with the 
Review Committee that:
     The Lake County Discovery Museum consulted with 
appropriate Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations,
     None of The Consulted and Invited Tribes objected to the 
proposed transfer of control, and
     The Lake County Discovery Museum may proceed with the 
agreed upon transfer of control of the culturally unidentifiable human 
remains and associated funerary objects to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe 
of Chippewa Indians, Michigan.
Transfer of control is contingent on the publication of a Notice of 
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register. This notice fulfills that 
requirement.

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 accession records and 
consultation.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of a minimum of 13 
individuals of Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 2 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.
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.16, the disposition of the human 
remains and associated funerary objects will be to the Sault Ste. Marie 
Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    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 Diana 
Dretske, Lake County Discovery Museum, 27277 North Forest Preserve 
Road, Wauconda, IL 60084, telephone (847) 968-3381, email 
[email protected], by December 9, 2016. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects to the Sault Ste. Marie 
Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Michigan, may proceed.
    The Lake County Discovery Museum is responsible for notifying The 
Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published.
