Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25

43 CFR 10.11(d).

[[Page 17444]]

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 1979, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the Schaper Site (47-LC-0039) in La Crosse County, 
WI. The Wisconsin Historical Society conducted investigations at the 
site during a highway surface survey project that was part of a 
Wisconsin Department of Transportation Cooperative Agreement. The WHS 
crew found that the highway bisected one of the site's two mounds. 
Eroding from the cut bank of this mound they found human remains 
representing one juvenile individual of indeterminate sex. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    Between 1969 and 1989, human remains representing, at minimum, two 
individuals were removed from the Krause Site (47-LC-0041) in La Crosse 
County, WI. The human remains were donated by the Mississippi Valley 
Archaeology Center (MVAC) in 1989 to the Wisconsin Burial Sites 
Preservation Office. MVAC reported the human remains as being collected 
over several years from different locations within the site. MVAC 
collected human remains in 1982 and again in 1989 during surface 
surveys of plowed fields, and additional human remains were donated to 
MVAC by local landowners and collectors who had collected human remains 
in 1969 and 1989. Skeletal analysis in 2015 determined that the human 
remains represent two individuals of indeterminate age and sex. 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 three 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 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 
Sioux Tribe of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota; Santee 
Sioux Nation, Nebraska; Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of 
Minnesota; Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation, 
South Dakota; Spirit Lake 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.
