the Fort Hall Reservation of Idaho; and
Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.
Prior to 1886, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a site
near Logan, Gallatin County, MT,
outside park boundaries. Nondestructive analysis of the human
remains determined that the human
remains are Native American (Willey
and Key 1992). No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The incomplete skull, recovered by a
sheepherder near his camp northeast of
Logan, MT, was obtained by W.H.
Everson of Bozeman, MT, in 1886. Mr.
Everson sold the human remains to
Senator F.C. Walcott and Mr. George
Pratt, who donated them to Yellowstone
National Park in 1930. Parts of the
cranium appear to have been painted or
stained red, though it is not known
when that occurred. Writings by Mr.
Everson state that he encountered
‘‘several lodges of Flatheads’’ when he
camped in the area in 1884.
Representatives of the Confederated
Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead
Reservation, Montana confirm that their
ancestors camped near Logan, MT,
around 1884.
Officials of Yellowstone National Park
have 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
Yellowstone National Park also 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 the
Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes
of the Flathead Reservation, Montana.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Suzanne Lewis,
superintendent, Yellowstone National
Park, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone
National Park, WY 82190, telephone
(307) 344–2229, before December 22,
2006. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Salish &
Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead
Reservation, Montana may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
