With the completion of the monument, Dubuque's bones were reburied, but the remains of Peosta were wired together and kept in the [[HERRMANN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY]]. (1) Beginning in 1966 his skeleton was displayed at the [[HAM HOUSE]] Museum. The skull of Potosa, perhaps Dubuque's wife, was displayed, but the rest of the bones were in a bushel basket in the basement of Ham House. (2)

			Historical society members contacted Native Americans living near Tama, Iowa for suggestions. Tama Chief Lewis Mitchell suggested that Peosta had probably been given full tribal honors at the time of his first burial. It would not be necessary to repeat them. As for the reburial, the Society began the process of obtaining legal authorization to reinter the bodies near the monument. Peosta and Potosa, however, could not be buried together. Tribal custom requires that chiefs be buried separately. (3)

	On May 12, 1973, the remains of Peosta were reburied near their original resting place. On August 20, 1973, the headstone, donated by the Light Quarries of Dubuque, was placed on the grave.
