WINNEBAGO, Neb. — The remains of a Winnebago man are being turned over to his tribe for burial after decades in a museum.

The man had been among Native Americans who were forced out of Minnesota and into South Dakota after the Sioux uprising in 1862. His remains were found by a U.S. Army surgeon about five miles south of Fort Randall along a riverbank in south-central South Dakota.

The remains eventually wound up at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History.
