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 Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison, WI. The human 
remains were removed from an unknown location near Pembine and Red 
Arrow Park, Marinette 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) and 
43 CFR 10.11(d). 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 
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; 
Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin; and the Upper Sioux Community, 
Minnesota.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1878, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from an unknown location in Marinette County, WI. The 
human remains, later identified as representing one adult female, were 
removed from a mound containing a number of other interments near the 
city of Pembine. The human remains were donated by the Milwaukee 
Chapter of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society to the Wisconsin 
Historical Society in 1908. No known individuals were identified. No 
associated funerary objects are present.
    In 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Red Arrow Park (47-MT-0289) in Marinette County, WI. 
A fisherman discovered a mandible from an adult male off the Sea Gull 
sand bar. He brought the mandible to the Marinette City Police, who 
revisited the site the day after the discovery but did not find any 
other human remains. The Wisconsin Historical Society Burial Site 
Preservation Office took possession of the remains in December of 1991. 
No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects 
are present.

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 are Native American based on Wisconsin Historical 
Society records, burial location, archeological context, oral 
histories, and skeletal analysis.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 any present-day Indian Tribe.
     Treaties, Acts of Congress, or Executive Orders indicate 
that the land from which the Native American human remains were removed 
is the aboriginal land of the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe 
of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River Reservation, Wisconsin; Lac Courte 
Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; Lac du 
Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the Lac du Flambeau 
Reservation of Wisconsin; Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior 
Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Leech Lake Band of the Minnesota Chippewa 
Tribe, Minnesota; Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin; Mille Lacs Band 
of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota; Red Cliff Band of Lake 
Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin; and the White Earth Band of 
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota (hereafter referred to as The 
Aboriginal Land Tribes).
     Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the 
human remains may be to The Aboriginal Land Tribes.

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 should submit a written request with information 
in support of the request to Jennifer Kolb, Wisconsin Historical 
Society, 816 State St., 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 to the Aboriginal Land Tribes may proceed.
    The Wisconsin Historical Society is responsible for notifying The 
Aboriginal Land Tribes and the Forest County Potawatomi Community, 
Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; and the Upper Sioux Community, 
Minnesota, that this notice has been published.
