Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by the U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and
the Burke Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1950, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site 45–OK–10 in the
Chief Joseph Reservoir, Okanogan
County, WA. The site (45–OK–10) is
located within the current boundaries of
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
collected on a University of Washington
Field Party possibly under the direction
of Douglas Osborne, as a part of
archeological investigations in
Okanogan County in the Chief Joseph
Reservoir. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
received by the Burke Museum in 1950
(Burke Accn. #1966–92). No known
individuals were identified. The 10
associated funerary objects include 1 lot
of nails, 3 lots of unmodified wood and
soil, 1 metal picture frame, 1 metal
object (possible pillbox), 1 ceramic
knob, 1 spoon, 1 composite artifact bag

Geographic, historic, and
anthropological evidence indicates that
the human remains are Native
American. The site (45–OK–10) is
located within the current boundaries of
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation. This area was historically
and prehistorically occupied by the
Interior Salishan group, the Nespelem.
The artifacts from the site include both
pre- and post-contact materials. A trade
button dating between 1830–1845 was
found at the site and indicates
occupation during the historic time
period. The site is located between two
major Hudson’s Bay Company Forts,
Fort Okanogan, which was in operation
between 1812 to 1860, and Fort Colville,
which was in operation between 1825–
1870. There were few Euro-American
settlers in the area until after 1900
(Osborne, Crabtree, and Brian 1952).
Sites in the surrounding area (45OK159
and 45OK7) include historic funerary
objects associated with Native American
burials (Cook 2013). The Nespelem
traditionally occupied the area
surrounding the Nespelem River and the
Columbia River to the confluence with
the Okanogan River (Ruby and Brown
2010). The Nespelem speak Interior
Salish. Today, the Nespelem are
represented by the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Burke Museum
Officials of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
the Burke Museum have determined
that:
• Based on historic, geographic, and
anthropological evidence, the human
remains have been determined to be
Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the ten objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the USDA
Forest Service, Coconino National
Forest, that meet the definition of
unassociated funerary objects under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
All cultural items described below
were removed from lands administered
by the USDA Forest Service in Coconino
County, AZ, between 1934 and 1955.
These items were collected by private
individuals without permission or
knowledge of the USDA Forest Service.
Records kept by the individuals provide
substantive evidence that the items were
recovered in association with human
remains from prehistoric archeological
sites. The human remains were not
collected, so these items are considered
unassociated funerary objects. In 1981,
these items were donated to a private
museum, where they are currently
housed, with the USDA Forest Service
retaining legal control of the items. The
site names listed below were used by
the private individuals and are not
official Forest Service site designations,
except where noted.
In 1934, one ceramic vessel was
removed from Big Ruin and one ceramic
vessel was removed from Blind Ruin. In
1935, 10 ceramic vessels were removed
from Dead Robin and one turquoise
bead and one turquoise pendant were
removed from Top of Hill. In 1936, five
ceramic vessels, two shells and one
painted conus shell were removed from
an unnamed site. In 1937, one ceramic
vessel and one bone awl were removed
from an unnamed site. In 1938, five
ceramic vessels were removed from an
unnamed site and one ceramic vessel
and one shell bracelet were removed
from Two Handles. In 1939, one ceramic
vessel was removed from Cold Banana,
three ceramic vessels were moved from
Big Tub, and two ceramic vessels were
removed from Saddle (known as New
Caves Hill by the USDA Forest Service).
