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 Carnegie
Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh,
PA. The human remains were removed
from a site in Poinsett County, AR.
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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Carnegie Museum
of Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.
In 1974, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Cummin’s Place (also
known as Cumming’s Place, site 3PO5)
in Poinsett County, AR, by Emil Alam
during a pedestrian survey of the site.
Mr. Alam donated the human remains
as part of a larger collection to the
Carnegie Museum of Natural History in
1984. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Cummin’s Place is a Parkin phase
site of the Mississippian nucleation

horizon (A.D. 1350–1650). Oral history
evidence presented by representatives of
the Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma
indicates that the region including
Poinsett County has long been included
in the traditional ancestral homelands
and hunting territory of the Quapaw.
European documentation concerning
the geographical range of the Quapaw
people, specifically French colonial
documents and maps, indicate that only
the Quapaw had villages in eastern
Arkansas circa A.D. 1673–1720.
Descendants of the Quapaw are
members of the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma. In addition, the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma
have previously repatriated Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects from the
Cummin’s Place in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act.
Officials of the Carnegie Museum of
Natural History 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 the Carnegie 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 Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. David R. Watters,
Carnegie Museum of Natural History,
5800 Baum Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15206,
telephone (412) 665–2605, before
December 22, 2006. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Carnegie Museum of Natural
History is responsible for notifying the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma
that this notice has been published.

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 Pierce
College District, Lakewood, WA. The
human remains were removed from site
45–PI–07, also known as the Purdy 1
site, at Carr Inlet, Pierce 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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Pierce College
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Puyallup Tribe of
the Puyallup Reservation, Washington.
Between April 1975 and August 1976,
the human remains of a number of
Native American individuals were
removed from site 45–PI–07, also
known as the Purdy 1 site, at Carr Inlet,
Pierce County, WA, by a Pierce College
instructor, Dale McGinnis, and James
Forrest, a Pierce College student. The
human remains were initially brought to
Fort Steilacoom Community College,
now called Pierce College, for storage.
At an unknown date, the human
remains of an unknown number of
individuals were re-interred by
representatives of local Indian tribes
and First Nations. In 1978, the human
remains of a minimum of 29 individuals
were transferred to the care of Mr.
Forrest. In 2006, Mr. Forrest transferred
the human remains to Pierce College.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Site 45–PI–07 is a shell mound
measuring 5 feet high, 30 feet wide, and
120 feet long. Osteological and
archeological analysis indicate that the
human remains removed from site 45–
PI–07 are of Native American ancestry,
based on the presence of extreme
degrees of dental ware, marked
shoveling of the exposed permanent
incisors, blunt nasal sills, rounded
chins, squatting facets on the talus, and
their flex-kneed burial position, and site
context. Archeological materials
recovered from the site indicate a wide
range of use during the prehistoric and
historic periods. Site 45–PI–07 is
located within the area long occupied
by the Shotlemamish, a Southern
Lushootseed speaking group.

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.
