introduced; as such, the cultural items
are objects of cultural patrimony.
According to Western Apache
traditional cultural authorities, the 56

items after their use by humans. The
cultural items must be put away
properly to return them to the Creator;
as such, the cultural items are sacred
objects. The Western Apache are
represented today by the federally
recognized San Carlos Apache Tribe of
the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona;
Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona; White
Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort
Apache Reservation, Arizona; and
Yavapai–Apache Nation of the Camp

Notice of Inventory Completion:
Thomas Burke Memorial Washington

Washington, Seattle, WA
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
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 Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum (Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains were removed from Chelan
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. National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington and Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Sometime before 1948, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Stehekin
in Chelan County, WA, by Harold
Wheeler. In 1948, the human remains
were loaned to the Burke Museum by
Mr. Wheeler (Burke Accn. #3512). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were previously
determined to not be Native American.
After further review based on
osteological information, the
preponderance of the evidence
identifies the human remains as Native
American.
According to early and late
ethnographic documentation, the
Stehekin area was occupied by the
Chelan tribe and is their aboriginal land
(Miller 1998; Ray 1936; Ruby and
Brown 1986; and Spier 1936).
Information provided during
consultation by representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington confirms that
the Chelan tribe traditionally occupied
the Stehekin area. Descendants of the
Chelan Tribe are members of the

Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the Burke Museum 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
Burke Museum 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 Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke
Museum, University of Washington, Box
353010, Seattle, WA 98195–3010,
telephone (206) 685–2282, before May 2,
2007. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying the Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington and Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington
that this notice has been published.

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cheyenne–Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma
and Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Mud
Creek, a branch of the Purgatoire River
in southeastern Colorado in or near Bent
County, CO, by a soldier named Lance.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Information recorded on the human
remains indicates that in 1866 or 1869,
a party of Cheyenne Indians was
hunting in a small canyon on Mud
Creek and they were ambushed by a
party of Ute Indians. Several of the
Cheyenne Indians were killed. The
bodies were buried near the creek, and
some years later, flood waters cut back
the bank and exposed some of the
skeletons. Lance, a soldier stationed
nearby, collected a cranium. The
cranium was given to his friend, David
J. Burnett. On June 17, 1962, Mr.
Burnett’s daughter, Mrs. Ethel Burnett
Zeigler, donated the cranium to the
University of Colorado Museum
(Catalog number 99410).
Based on the morphology of the teeth
and cranium, the human remains
represent a Native American adult male.
Based on museum records, the human
remains are Cheyenne. Descendants of
the Cheyenne are members of the
Cheyenne–Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma
and Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the
Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation,
Montana.
Officials of the University of Colorado
Museum 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 University of Colorado
Museum also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent

Lawrence, KS that meets the definitions
of ‘‘sacred object’’ and ‘‘object of

3001.
This notice is published as part of the

representatives also indicated that
Yurok law prohibits the sale of such
ceremonial items.
