Madison, WI

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

human remains in consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes or 
Native Hawaiian organizations, and has determined that there is no

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. Representatives of any

notice that wish to request transfer of control of these human remains 
should submit a written request to the Wisconsin Historical Society. If 
no additional requestors come forward, transfer of control of the human 
remains to the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations stated in

ADDRESSES: Jennifer Kolb, Wisconsin Historical Society, 816 State 
Street, Madison, WI 53706, telephone (608) 264-6434, email 
[email protected].

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 the Ostergaard Burial Discovery in Vernon 
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 Upper Sioux Community, 
Minnesota.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1991, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from Ostergaard Burial Discovery (47-VE-0967) in Vernon 
County, WI. Mr. Chris Hill discovered the human remains, later 
determined to represent one adult male, in a backdirt pile from a 
utility construction project at the home of the Ostergaard Family. Mr. 
Hill gave the human remains to the Mississippi Valley Archaeological 
Center, who contacted the Wisconsin Historical Society Burial Sites 
Preservation Office. When representatives from both institutions 
visited the site, they observed additional human remains were eroding 
out of tire ruts and a slope at the site. These human remains were left 
in place because the landowner did not permit excavation. 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 one individual 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.
     According to final judgments of the Indian Claims 
Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the 
Native American human remains were removed is the aboriginal land of 
the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
     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 Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort 
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the 
Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the 
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota; Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of 
South Dakota; Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of 
the Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota; Lower Sioux Indian Community 
in the State of Minnesota; Oglala Sioux Tribe (previously listed as the 
Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota); 
Prairie Island Indian Community in the State of Minnesota; Rosebud

Tribe, North Dakota; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota; 
Upper Sioux Community, Minnesota; Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska; and 
Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota (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 Street, Madison, WI 53706, telephone (608) 264-6434, 
email [email protected], by May 21, 2018. 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; Forest County Potawatomi Community, Wisconsin; 
Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the Lac du 
Flambeau Reservation of Wisconsin; and Menominee Indian Tribe of 
Wisconsin that this notice has been published.
