Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Notices History and Description of the Remains At an unknown date in the 19th century, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from Rock Island Arsenal, located on Arsenal Island originally known as Rock Island in Rock Island County, Illinois. The human remains were donated to the Mutter Museum sometime in the 19th century. The donor is unknown. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Tribal affiliation was determined from writing on the squamous portion of the temporal bone stating Sioux Indian prisoner . . . Died at Rock Island. Rock Island Arsenal was originally established as a government site in 1816, with the building of Fort Armstrong. From approximately 1863
to1865, it was a prison for Confederate prisoners of war. How this individual came to be present at the Arsenal is unclear.
Determinations Made by the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia Officials of the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 30019, the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 30012, there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and The Tribes.
