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.

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 and associated funerary objects
in the control of the Thomas Burke
Memorial Washington State Museum
(Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Douglas and Kittitas
Counties, 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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho; and Wanapum
Band, a non–federally recognized Indian
group.
In 1920, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from ‘‘the Vulcan Burial,’’ also
designated as the ‘‘Hall Site #9,’’ in the
area surrounding Vulcan (the vicinity of
45–DO–6) in either Douglas or Kittitas
County, WA, during a museum
expedition led by F. S. Hall. The human
remains were accessioned by the Burke
Museum in 1920 (Burke Accn. #1860).
No known individual was identified.
The 15 associated funerary objects are 1
lot of ochre, 1 lot of shell beads, 1 lot
of stone beads, 1 lot of abalone shell
fragments, 1 lot of burned organic

removed from 45–KT–10, also
designated as Hall Site 5, Kittitas
County, WA, during a museum
expedition lead by F. S. Hall, who was
assisted by Earl O. Roberts and M.
Mohr. The collection was accessioned
by the Burke Museum in 1920 (Burke
Accn. #1860). No known individuals
were identified. The 93 funerary objects
are 6 lots of bone (bird and mammal),
8 bracelet fragments (bone or antler), 1
bone comb, 47 chipped stone tools, 4
harpoon valves, 7 metal fragments, 8
modified bone fragments, 6 bone points,
2 lots of shell, 2 shell pendants, 1 tooth,
and 1 bird whistle.
In 1920, human remains representing
a minimum of four individuals were
removed from Hall Area V, between
Wenatchee and Vantage Ferry, Kittitas
County, WA, during a museum
expedition lead by F. S. Hall, and
assisted by Earl O. Roberts and M.
Mohr. The human remains were
accessioned by the Burke Museum in
1920 (Burke Accn. #1860). No known
individuals were identified. The 28
funerary objects are 4 modified antler
fragments, 1 lot of organic matter, 1 lot
of dentalium shells with cedar, 1 lot of
dentalium shells and leather, 1 lot of
burned bone and organic matter, 1 bone
tool, 2 lots of copper ore fragments (1
with leather fragments), 1 modified
bone, 1 lot of decorated bone fragments
(possibly pendant fragments), 1 lot of
shell fragments, 5 lots of shell, 1 antler
wedge, 2 fiber fragments, 1 cordage
fragment, 1 bird bone, 1 tooth, and 3
wood fragments.
Early and late published ethnographic
documentation indicates that the sites
described above are the aboriginal
territory of the Moses–Columbia or
Sinkiuse, and the Yakima (Daugherty
1973, Miller 1998, Mooney 1896, Ray
1936, Spier 1936). Descendents of the
Moses–Columbia, Sinkiuse, and Yakima
are members of the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington
and Confederated Tribes and Bands of
the Yakama Nation, Washington.
Furthermore, information provided by
the two tribes during consultation
indicates that the aboriginal ancestors
occupying this area were highly mobile
and traveled the landscape for gathering
resources as well as trade, and are part
of the more broadly defined Plateau
communities. Descendents of these
Plateau communities are now widely
dispersed and enrolled in the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon;

Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho; and Wanapum
Band, a non–federally recognized Indian
group.
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 seven individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Burke Museum also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the 136 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 Burke Museum 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 and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon;
and Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
Furthermore, officials of the Burke
Museum have determined that there is
a cultural relationship between the
human remains and associated funerary
objects and the Wanapum Band, a non–
federally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke Museum,
University of Washington, Box 353010,
Seattle, WA 98195–3010, telephone
(206) 685–2282, before October 19,
2007. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of
the Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon;
and Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho for
themselves and on behalf of the
Wanapum Band, a non–federally
recognized Indian group, 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,
