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 and associated funerary objects
in the control of the U.S. Department of
the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Washington, DC and in the possession
of the University of Colorado Museum,
Boulder, CO. The human remains were
removed from the Crow Indian
Reservation, MT.
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 University of
Colorado Museum professional staff in
consultation with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs professional staff and
representatives of the Crow Tribe of
Montana.
In 1912, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Crow Indian
Reservation, 18 miles south of Billings,
MT, near Pryor Creek, by Ralph
Hubbard. Mr. Hubbard later sent the
human remains to the University of
Colorado Museum (Catalog number
4799). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on the provenience and
physical morphology, the human
remains are those of a Native American
adult male. Based on the provenience,
the human remains are Crow.
Descendants of the Crow are members of
the Crow Tribe of Montana.
Officials of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and
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 U.S.

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington.
In 1969 and 1970, human remains
representing a minimum of nine
individuals were removed from the
Minard site (45–GH–15) in Grays Harbor
County, WA, by Richard Daugherty, an
employee, and Thomas E. Roll, graduate
student, of Washington State University.
The excavations were conducted under
research funds allocated by the
Washington State Legislature. No
known individuals were identified. The
82 associated funerary objects are 2
nipple topped mauls, 1 ground slate
knife, 1 ground stone club, 1 necklace
of rolled copper and dentalium beads, 1
straight adze with a carved whale bone
handle, 1 knife or small adze-chisel, 1
metal chisel, 1 metal awl, 1 lot of metal
fragments from wood working tools, 5
lots of nails, 2 lots of glass beads, 2 lots
of tin can fragments, 5 lots of
unidentified metal fragments, 2 spoons,
3 lots of wood fragments, 14 thimbles on
a string, 1 lot of unidentified plant
material, and 38 lots of dishes and dish
fragments.
Osteological evidence indicates that
the human remains from the Minard site
represent nine individuals of Native
American ancestry. The associated
funerary objects found with one of the
individuals indicate an interment
during the early 19th century.
Stratigraphic information indicates that
the other individuals were interred
within the last 1,000 years. The Minard
site is located at or near the traditional
Copalis village of Oyhut. The Copalis
are considered to have been a band of
the Lower Chehalis whose traditional
territory encompassed the lower reaches
of the Chehalis River and the presentday county of Grays Harbor. The Minard
site is located within the area identified
by the Indian Claims Commission as the
aboriginal territory of the Confederated
Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation,
Washington. Continuities within the
archeological record and oral tradition,
indicates that ancestors of the presentday Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington resided at the
Minard site during the prehistoric and
early historic periods.
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM

represent the physical remains of nine
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 82
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
Museum of Anthropology, Washington
State University 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 of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Mary Collins, Associate
Director, Museum of Anthropology,
Washington State University, P.O. Box
62291, Pullman, WA 99164–4910,
telephone (509) 335–4314, before June

Notice is here given in accordance

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the

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 the Slater
Museum of Natural History, University
of Puget Sound professional staff and a
consultant in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were probably removed from
Oregon by Robert McManus and given
to Stanley G. Jewett. Mr. Jewett donated
the human remains to the Slater
Museum in 1955. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Written on the right side of the skull
is, ‘‘One of Poker Jim’s warriors found
near where he was killed. April 1918,
Robt. McManus’’ and next to it ‘‘SGJ’’
circled in ink. Poker Jim was a Umatilla
chief (Dorys N. Crow, ‘‘Poker Jim: Chief
of the Walla Wallas,’’ The Sunday
Oregonian Magazine, December 7, 1952;
Diana LaSarge, Cultural Affiliation
Document for the Cayuse, Umatilla, and
Walla Walla Tribes, 2002; Jennifer
Karson, Wiyaxayxt/ Wiyaakaa’awn/As
Days Go by: Our History, Our Land, Our
People: The Cayuse, Umatilla, And
Walla Walla, 2006).
The individual is most likely of
Native American ancestry as indicated
by morphological features. The
geographical location where the human
remains were presumably recovered is
consistent with the historically
documented territory of the tribes now
represented by the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon.
Information provided during
consultation with tribal representatives,
indicates that the human remains share
a common ancestry with members of
tribes now represented by the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon.
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
represent the physical remains of one
individual 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

should contact Dr. John Finney,
Associate Dean, University of Puget
Sound, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, WA
