SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here 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 Burke
Museum, Seattle, WA, 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
Items
In the late 19th century, 33 cultural
items were removed from an unknown
location by James T. White from Point
Hope, North Slope Borough, AK, and
later donated to the Burke Museum by
his wife in 1904. The 33 unassociated
funerary objects are 1 wooden mask, 4
ground stone tools, 1 lot of earthenware
fragments, 1 ivory thimble holder, 1
needle, 1 needle case, 1 comb, 1 scoop,
1 pipe, 2 pipe bowls, 1 ivory tool, 3
ground stone knives, 2 stone points, 2
bone points, 2 harpoon heads, 1 scraper
blade, 4 harpoon points, 1 lance, 1
sinew rope, and 2 adzes.
In the late 19th century, one
unassociated funerary object was
removed from Point Hope, AK. It is
believed that this object was also
removed by James T. White and donated
to Young Naturalist Society, who then
donated it to the Burke Museum in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
1904. The one unassociated funerary
object is one lot of earthenware
fragments. These fragments are labeled
with the same writing and are given
similar numbers to the other fragments
from James T. White.
The objects were listed in the
accession records as being removed
from ‘‘old Tigarah’’ or ‘‘old Eskimo’’
graves at Point Hope. The objects are
consistent with historic and prehistoric
material cultural from this area and are
related to the Inupiat people of the Point
Hope (Tikigaq, aka Tigara) area (Damas,
1984). The modern day Inupiat
descendants from Point Hope are
members of the Native Village of Point
Hope.
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 34 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 a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• 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 Native Village of Point
Hope.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Peter Lape, Burke Museum, University
of Washington, Box 353010, Seattle, WA
98195, telephone (206) 685–3849, email
plape@uw.edu, by March 27, 2017. After
that date, if no additional claimants
have come forward, transfer of control
of the unassociated funerary objects to
the Native Village of Point Hope may
proceed.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying the Native Village of Point
Hope that this notice has been
published.

History and Description of the Remains
In July 2012, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the Dana
Adobe site in San Luis Obispo County,
CA. The human remains were excavated
from the northeast corner of the 1840s
adobe while in the process of installing
a four-inch wide drain pipe at a depth
of 20–30 cm around the perimeter of the
building. The firm that conducted the
excavation initially identified all of the
materials removed from the site as
belonging to a medium to large
unidentified mammal. Subsequently,
the Dana Adobe Nipomo Amigos
consulted with an osteologist to confirm
that all materials in its possession were
non-human. In the process, eight
fragments were identified as one adult
human, over the age of 20, and probably
a female, while a ninth fragment was
identified as likely of human origin. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Archeological evidence shows that
the geographical area where the site is
located has seen aboriginal activity for
over 11,000 years, as evidenced by the
recovery of a fluted point within the
viewshed. In addition, ethnographic
evidence identifies the Chumash as
having occupied the area. Based on
evidence provided by postmortem
damage, these human remains predate
the 1839–1840 construction of the Dana
Adobe.
Determinations Made by the Dana
Adobe Nipomo Amigos
Officials of the Dana Adobe Nipomo
Amigos have determined that:
• 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1915, human remains representing,

removed from a burial at Pecos Pueblo
in San Miguel County, NM during
excavations conducted by Alfred
Vincent Kidder under the auspices of
the Phillips Academy Department of
Archaeology (now the Robert S.

individual is a fetus or infant wrapped
in cloth. No known individuals were
identified. The two associated funerary
objects are the cotton textile wrapping
and knit cordage with tassels, including
three copper sequins and other small
