SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
University of Nebraska State Museum, and additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation,
can be found in the inventory or related records. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing at
least five individuals have been reasonably identified. The one
associated funerary object is a faunal bone. The five adult individuals
make up four crania, five mandibles, one vertebra, four hand elements,
five foot elements, and 29 adult teeth. The poor-to-fair preservation
resembles material from known Woodland sites in Nebraska. The human
remains were found by Darling K. Greger and loaned to the museum by Dr.
H.B. Ward in 1908. These remains were excavated from a mound on the
east bank of the Aux Vasse River (Creek), east of [City of] Fulton,
Calloway County, Missouri.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of Nebraska State Museum has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of five individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The one object described in this notice is reasonably
believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and The Osage
Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or
[[Page 27787]]
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after May 20, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are received, the University of
Nebraska State Museum must determine the most appropriate requestor
prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects are considered a single request
