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
Hood River, Hood River County, OR.
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 Slater Museum of
Natural History, University of Puget
Sound professional staff and a
consultant in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon and Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington.
Human remains representing a
minimum of two individuals were
removed from Hood River, Hood River
County, OR, by an unknown person on
an unknown date. The human remains
were brought to the museum by Howard
Richardson on February 7, 1939. No
known individual was 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 tribes now represented
by the Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon. The
Indian Claims Commission Final
Decision places Hood River within the
territories of the Confederated Tribes of
the Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon. 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 tribes now
represented by the Confederated Tribes
of the Warm Springs Reservation of
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 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 Confederated Tribes of
the Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Peter Wimberger,
Slater Museum of Natural History, 1500
N. Warner, Tacoma, WA 98416, (253)
879–2784, before October 19, 2007.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Slater Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon and
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington that this
notice has been published.
