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, one individual have been reasonably identified. A single box 
containing the individuals labeled ``Herenberg Site, Winnebago County'' 
in the course of creating the UWO 1995 NAGPRA Inventory. There are no 
records of this site in the files of the Archaeology Laboratory at UWO 
and efforts to locate

[[Page 73435]]

a Herenberg site have been unsuccessful. The one associated funerary 
object is one eagle bone whistle.
    Based on the information available, human remains representing, at 
least, one individual have been reasonably identified. In December 
1991, the individual was permanently transferred from the Doty Cabin 
Museum in Neenah, WI to UWO. The burial was originally identified as 
``Doty Cabin Museum Burial #2'' when reported in the UWO 1995 NAGPRA 
Inventory. A card packed with the individual states that the burial was 
found ``along the west shore of Little Lake Butte de Morts'', which is 
located in Winnebago County, WI. No associated funerary objects are 
present.

Cultural Affiliation

    Based on the information available and the results of consultation, 
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical 
location of the human remains and associated funerary object described 
in this notice.

     The human remains described in this notice represent the 
physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry.
