History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, 54 cultural
items were removed from one or more
unknown Native American graves at one
or more unknown locations in Walla
Walla County, WA. All of these objects
are part of the Hagen Collection in the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology and
were donated to, or purchased by, the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology on
an unknown date between 1948 and
1979. The 54 unassociated funerary
objects are 53 tubular copper beads
(Longyear Museum of Anthropology
Index Number 373, Catalog Number
A280), which are catalogued as from a
‘‘Cayuse Indian grave,’’ and one copper
pendant (Longyear Museum of
Anthropology Index Number 377,
Catalog Number A284), which is
catalogued as from ‘‘a Cayuse grave.’’
Consultation was initiated on
February 11, 2015, by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology with the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation and the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
(previously listed as the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon). On February 25, 2015, the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation notified the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology and the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation that these 54
unassociated funerary objects are not
from their traditional territory and that
they therefore deferred to the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation concerning the
repatriation of the objects. The
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation submitted to the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology a
NAGPRA cultural affiliation claim, in
the form of a letter and report dated
March 13, 2015, requesting to repatriate
the 54 unassociated funerary objects.
The information presented in this
report indicates that the Walla Walla
County area of Washington is an area
traditionally and aboriginally used by
the Umatilla Tribes and ceded to the
U.S. Government following the treaty of
1855. The Umatilla Tribes are direct
descendant communities of the
´
´
Weyıiletpuu (Cayuse), Imatalamlama
´
(Umatilla), and Waluulapam (Walla
Walla), Native people who used the
lower Snake River and Columbia River
since time immemorial, both of which
run along the border of Walla Walla
County. Enrolled members of the
Umatilla Tribes have documented that
their ancestors were buried along the
lower Snake and Columbia Rivers.
These areas have also been important
E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM
09JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 110 / Tuesday, June 9, 2015 / Notices
habitation, fishing, hunting, and burial
areas in continual use by the Umatilla
Tribes. The report further indicates that
the 54 unassociated funerary objects are
historic, dating within the postEuropean contact era, or since the early
1800s, and that they are typical of
personal items often buried with the
deceased.
Determinations Made by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology
Officials of the Longyear Museum of
Anthropology have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 54 cultural items described above
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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from
one or more specific burial sites of one
or more Native American individuals.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Indian Reservation
(previously listed as the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon).

History and Description of the Cultural Items
At an unknown date, 54 cultural items were removed from one or more
unknown Native American graves at one or more unknown locations in
Walla Walla County, WA. All of these objects are part of the Hagen
Collection in the Longyear Museum of Anthropology and were donated to,
or purchased by, the Longyear Museum of Anthropology on an unknown date
between 1948 and 1979. The 54 unassociated funerary objects are 53
tubular copper beads (Longyear Museum of Anthropology Index Number 373,
Catalog Number A280), which are catalogued as from a ``Cayuse Indian
grave,'' and one copper pendant (Longyear Museum of Anthropology Index
Number 377, Catalog Number A284), which is catalogued as from ``a
Cayuse grave.''
Consultation was initiated on February 11, 2015, by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation (previously listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon). On February 25, 2015, the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation notified the Longyear Museum of
Anthropology and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation that these 54 unassociated funerary objects are not from
their traditional territory and that they therefore deferred to the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation concerning the
repatriation of the objects. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation submitted to the Longyear Museum of Anthropology a
NAGPRA cultural affiliation claim, in the form of a letter and report
dated March 13, 2015, requesting to repatriate the 54 unassociated
funerary objects.
