ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the Slater
Museum of Natural History, University
of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA. The
human remains were removed from an
area north of the Native Village of
Barrow, AK.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations

agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Slater Museum of
Natural History, University of Puget
Sound professional staff and a
consultant in consultation with
representatives of the Native Village of
Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government.
In the summer of 1953, human
remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from a site
between the Native Village of Barrow,
AK, and the Naval Arctic Research
Laboratory, by Stewart Lowther, a
geologist. In July 2006, after Dr. Lowther
retired, the human remains were
brought to the Slater Museum of Natural
History. There is no additional
information regarding the collection and
subsequent transfer of the human
remains to the museum. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The individuals are most likely of
Native American ancestry as indicated
by morphological features. The
geographical location where the human
remains were recovered is consistent
with the historically documented
territory of the Native Village of Barrow
Inupiat Traditional Government.
Furthermore, based on information
provided during consultation with tribal
representatives, there is a reasonable
belief that the human remains share a
common ancestry with members of the
Native Village of Barrow Inupiat
Traditional Government.
Officials of the Slater Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above likely
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Slater Museum
of Natural History 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 Native Village of
Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Peter Wimberger,
Director, Slater Museum of Natural
History, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, WA
98416, telephone (253) 879–2784, before
December 22, 2006. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Native Village of

may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.

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
