Review by U.S. National Commission
for UNESCO: The staff
recommendations for the draft Tentative
List were reviewed by a subcommittee
of the U.S. National Commission for
UNESCO—which included Federal
agency representatives drawn from the
Federal Interagency Panel on World
Heritage—on September 27, 2007. The
subcommittee presented its
recommendations to the full
Commission in a conference call on
October 4, 2007, in which the public
participated. The recommendations by
the National Commission, including
those which differ from the NPS staff
recommendations, are being displayed
on the NPS staff recommended list
below and posted on the National
Commission’s website where they may
be consulted at https://www.state.gov/p/
io/unesco. The members of the National
Commission and the World Heritage
Draft Tentative List Subcommittee are
identified on the same Web site. The
contact for the U.S. National
Commission for UNESCO is Ken Kolson
at 202/663–0289 (kolsonkl@state.gov).
Further Actions: The NPS will
consider public comments and the
National Commission’s advice and
submit a proposed Tentative List
through the Assistant Secretary for Fish
and Wildlife and Parks to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior, who will
determine the final composition of the
Tentative List. The list will be
transmitted to the World Heritage
Centre by the Department of State by
February 1, 2008. This deadline
complies with the necessary timeline for
preparing the first nominations of sites
from the Tentative List in calendar 2008
for submission by February 1, 2009.
Such nominations will be prepared in
full compliance with the applicable
portion of 36 CFR 73.7, the World
Heritage Program Regulations.

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 and Wallowa—Whitman
National Forest professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; and Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
In 1955—1956, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from 35—
WA—13 in Wallowa County, OR, from
a cairn burial by George L. Coale, a
University of Washington Anthropology
student. The human remains were
accessioned by the Burke Museum in
1987 (Burke Accn. #1987—12). No
known individual was identified. The
three associated funerary objects are
three stone spalls.
In 1955—1956, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from 35—
WA—17 in Wallowa County, OR, from
a cairn burial by Mr. Coale. The human
remains were accessioned by the Burke
Museum in 1987 (Burke Accn. #1987—
12). No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a single stone spall.
In 1955, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from 10—ID—12 in Idaho
County, ID, by a University of
Washington Field Expedition led by Mr.
Coale and supervised by Dr. Douglas
Osborne. The human remains were
transferred to the Burke Museum in
1987 (Burke Accn. #1987—12). No
known individual was identified. The
60 associated funerary objects are 42
non-human mammal bones, 15 flakes, 2
pieces of stone shatter, and 1 lot of
shell.
In 1955, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from 10—ID—13 in Idaho
County, ID, by a University of
Washington Field Expedition led by Mr.
Coale and supervised by Dr. Osborne.
The human remains were transferred to
the Burke Museum in 1987 (Burke
Accn. #1987—12). No known
individuals were identified. The seven
associated funerary objects are one bag
of charcoal, two shell fragments, and
four unmodified stones.

The human remains were transferred to
the Burke Museum in 1987 (Burke
Accn. #1987—12). No known individual
was identified. The one associated
funerary object is a shell pendant.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects are part of the Mt.
Sheep Pleasant Valley Reservoir Survey
project. All five sites are located on U.S.
Forest Service property in the Snake
River Canyon. The archeology,
ethnography and history of the Snake
River Canyon, including those areas
from which the human remains were
removed, demonstrates a nearly
continuous use of the area with
numerous adaptations through time that
lead inexorably to the occupation and
utilization by a people who became
identified in historic times as the Nee–
Me—Poo or Nez Perce, the Weyiletpuu
or Cayuse, Imatalamlama or Umatilla,
and Waluulapam or Walla Walla. The
oral traditions and oral histories of these
groups place their people in the canyon
‘‘since time immemorial.’’ Descendants
of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla
Walla are members of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon. Descendants of the Nez Perce
are members of the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon; and Nez Perce
Tribe of Idaho.
Officials of the Wallowa–Whitman
National Forest have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Wallowa–
Whitman National Forest also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 72 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
Wallowa–Whitman National Forest 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
associated funerary object and the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon; and Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
