Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 197 / Thursday, October 12, 2006 / Notices
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of
Energy and the Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon; and the
Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
In 1981, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from an area within the
Hanford site, Benton County, WA, by
John A. Hedron. In 1985, the museum
received the human remains and
cultural items from Dr. Robert Rushmer
on behalf of Mr. Hedron, and they were
accessioned by the museum that same
year (Burke Accn. # 1985–106). No
known individual was identified. The
seven associated funerary objects are 1
piece of copper ore, 1 chopper, 1 flaked
stone tool, 1 core, 1 flake, and 2 mussel
shell fragments.
Museum documentation indicates
that the associated funerary objects were
recovered with fragmentary human
remains, and the types of cultural items
are consistent with other Native
American funerary objects found in the
Columbia River area. The human
remains consist of nine fragments. The
human remains were determined to be
Native American based on the
associated artifacts and geographic
location. Ethnographic documentation
indicates that the present day location
of Hanford, WA, is located within an
overlapping aboriginal territory of
descendants of the Yakama, Walla
Walla, and Wanapum groups, which are
represented today by the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon; and the
Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
The Yakama Treaty, signed on June 9,
1855, included the Hanford area in the
aboriginal territory of the present-day
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington. The Walla
Walla people have also occupied this
area since before historic times. As per
the Treaty of Walla Walla, signed on
June 9, 1855, the Walla Walla people are
represented by the present-day
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon. The Wanapum
Band occupied the Hanford area, which
is now designated the U.S. Department
of Energy Hanford Site, as recently as
World War II, when they moved to the
Priest Rapids area.
Officials of the Department of Energy
and the Burke Museum have
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Department of Energy and the Burke
Museum also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
seven objects 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. Lastly,
officials of the Department of Energy
and the Burke Museum have
determined that, 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 and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington, and
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon. Furthermore,
officials of the Department of Energy
and the Burke Museum have
determined that there is a cultural
relationship between the human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Annabelle Rodriguez, U.S.
Department of Energy, Cultural/Historic
Resources Program, Richland
Operations Office, 825 Jadwin Avenue,
MSIN A5–15 Richland, WA 99352, (509)
372–0277, before November 13, 2006.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon, and Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington, for themselves and on
behalf of the Wanapum Band, a nonfederally recognized Indian group, may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward. The
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-federally recognized Indian group,
are claiming jointly all cultural items
from the Hanford area.
The Department of Energy is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-federally recognized Indian group,
that this notice has been published.

Notice; correction
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (5), of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the Saint
Martin’s Waynick Museum (Waynick
Museum), Lacey, WA. The human
remains were removed from Vashon
Island, King County, WA.
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 human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice replaces the Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register on February 22, 2006
(FR Doc. E6–2448, page 9154) in order
to correct the number of human remains
and collection history from a minimum
of two individuals removed from one
site to a minimum of six individuals
removed from six sites.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Waynick Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Puyallup Tribe of
the Puyallup Reservation, Washington.
In 2003, the Waynick Museum found
bones in the museum collection. In
April 2004, the Puyallup Tribe of the
Puyallup Reservation, Washington
notified the Waynick Museum of their
belief that human remains were in the
possession of the Waynick Museum. In
May 2004, the bones were determined to
be Native American human remains
representing two individuals that were
culturally affiliated with the Puyallup
Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation,
Washington. A Notice of Inventory
Completion was published in the
Federal Register on February 22, 2006.

Additional human remains were
subsequently found in a storage room in
the monastery. Dr. Stephen Fulton,
Associate Professor of Biology at Saint
Martin’s University, assisted in
determining the minimum number of
individuals.
In 1938, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a cist burial mound on
Vashon-Maury Island, King County,
WA, by Lynne ‘‘Black Eagle’’ Waynick.
Mr. Waynick documented the removal
of the cist burial and recorded it in his
report, ‘‘[a]mong the Clam Shell
Mounds and Ancient Camp Sites of
Vashon Island.’’ In the early 1960s, the
human remains were donated to Saint
Martin’s Abbey in Lacey, WA, as part of
the original collection for the museum
named after Mr. Waynick, known as
Saint Martin’s Waynick Museum. In
1996, the cranium of the individual was
stored in a different building and was
not reunited with the rest of the human
remains until 2005. The human remains
were incorrectly identified as two
individuals in the February 22, 2006
Notice of Inventory Completion. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date between 1920
and 1970, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a shell burial near Burton
on Vashon Island, King County, WA,
most likely by Lynne ‘‘Black Eagle’’
Waynick. An index card found with the
human remains states: ’’...skull found in
a shell burial near Burton Wash.’’ The
human remains are believed to have
been donated as part of the original
collection of the Waynick Museum in
the 1960s. In 1996, the human remains
were stored in a different building and
were not identified until 2005. Based on
storage, museum documentation,
excavator and museum history, the
human remains are believed to be a
Native American individual removed
from Vashon Island. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date between 1920
and 1970, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
probably removed from Vashon Island,
King County, WA. Mr. Lynn ‘‘Black
Eagle’’ Waynick may have been the
excavator. The human remains were
probably part of the original collection
of the Waynick Museum and would
have been in the possession of the
museum since that time. Mr. Waynick
was a resident of Vashon Island for
many years and documented the
excavation of another Native American
individual from Vashon Island. The
human remains were stored in a
VerDate Aug<31>2005

cardboard box in the Saint Martin’s
Abbey monastery building itself, but
outside of the space designated for the
museum’s storage. Museum
documentation did not provide the
location of the human remains and they
were found in collections in 2005.
Based on storage, excavator and
museum history, the human remains are
probably Native American and removed
from Vashon Island. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date between 1920
and 1970, human remains representing

Vashon Island for many years and
documented the excavation of another
Native American individual from
Vashon Island. The human remains
were found in collections in 2003 and
identified as human remains in 2004.
The human remains were stored in a
cardboard box commingled with other
bones in Waynick Museum storage with
no accession number or accompanying
information; however, they were found
in a box containing other Native
American human remains, including the
individual documented as being
removed from the cist burial. Based on
storage, excavator and museum history,
the human remains are probably Native
American and removed from Vashon
Island. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Archeological and historical
documentation identifies Vashon Island
as a site of several Puyallup villages at
or before the signing of the Medicine
Creek Treaty of 1854. The VashonMaury Island is located in the
historically documented traditional
territory of the Puyallup tribe. Based on
museum documentation, geographic
location, storage, excavator and museum
history, all individuals described in this
Notice of Inventory Completion are
believed to be Native American and
culturally affiliated to the Puyallup.
Descendants of the Puyallup are
members of the Puyallup Tribe of the
Puyallup Reservation, Washington.
Officials of Saint Martin’s Waynick
Museum have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Saint Martin’s
