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 Wisconsin 
Historical Society, Madison, WI. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from the Island Village site in Manitowoc 
County, WI.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's

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 
Wisconsin Historical Society professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Forest County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin; 
Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior 
Chippewa Indians of the Lac du Flambeau Reservation of Wisconsin; and 
the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1989, human remains representing, at minimum, four individuals 
were removed from the Island Village site (47-MN-0101) in Manitowoc 
County, WI. The site is located within the Kill Snake Marsh and 
Wildlife Area run by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 
(WDNR). Employees of the WDNR found human remains and associated 
funerary objects brought to the surface by plowing. Representatives 
from the Wisconsin Historical Society visited the site and were given 
the human remains and associated funerary objects. The human remains 
represent four individuals, including one young adult and three 
juveniles. No known individuals were identified. The four associated 
funerary objects are 1 decorated German silver brooch or hair plate, 1 
lot of five copper bracelets, 1 copper picture frame mat, and 1 lot of 
beads.
    The kinds of associated funerary objects recovered suggest a 
historic period date for the human remains, specifically the mid-1800s. 
Objects like the silver German brooch did not come into use in the 
Great Lakes until after the 1830s. The picture frame mat was of the 
type that would have been used to frame an ambrotype or daguerreotype 
suggesting a post-1850 date. The Island Village site was first recorded 
in written documents by archeologist Charles E. Brown in 1906 who 
stated that a Mr. Louis Falge identified the site as a Potawatomi 
village. Archival research conducted by the Forest County Potawatomi 
Community, Wisconsin, identified the location as a historic village 
site that was led by Potawatomi chief Chaiconda. The site was described 
by Falge as being occupied and under cultivation until 1864, which 
corresponds with the estimated age of the associated funerary objects.

Determinations Made by the Wisconsin Historical Society

    Officials of the Wisconsin Historical Society have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of four individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the four 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 the Forest 
County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian Community, 
Michigan; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of 
Michigan; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi; and the Pokagon 
Band of Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and Indiana.

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 Jennifer Kolb, Wisconsin Historical Society, 
816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706, telephone (608) 264-6434, email 
[email protected], by November 16, 2017. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the 
Forest County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian 
Community, Michigan; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi 
Indians of Michigan; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi; and the 
Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and Indiana, may proceed.
    The Wisconsin Historical Society is responsible for notifying the 
Forest County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian 
Community, Michigan; Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band 
of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 
Wisconsin; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of 
Michigan; Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin; Nottawaseppi Huron Band 
of the Potawatomi; and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Michigan 
and Indiana, that this notice has been published.
