The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon, are a confederation
of 30 bands whose ancestral territory
ranged along the entire Oregon coast
and Coast Range, inland to the main
divide of the Cascade Range and south
to the Rogue River watershed. The
principal tribes include the Clatsop,
Chinook, Klickitat, Molala, Kalapuya,
Tillamook, Alsea, Siuslaw/Lower
Umpqua, Coos, Coquille, Upper
Umpqua, Tututni, Chetco, Tolowa,
Takelma or Upper Rogue River, Galice/
Applegate, and Shasta. The ancestors of
the confederated tribes spoke at least 10
different base languages, many with
strong dialectic divisions even within
the same language. In general, five
linguistic stocks – Salish, Yakonan,
Kusan, Takelman, and Athapascan – are
represented by the tribes. The tribes
were forcibly removed from their
homelands in 1855 by the U.S.
Government and placed on the Siletz
and Grand Ronde reservations. After
having their tribal status terminated
from federal recognition in 1954, the
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon were officially
restored in 1977.
The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua
Indians of Oregon traditionally
occupied the rugged, forested territory
extending from the Cow Creek
watershed in the Coast Range to the
North and South Forks of the Umpqua
River along the western slope of the
Cascades. They spoke Takelma, a
language in the Takelman-Kalapuyan
division of the Penutian language stock.
After treaty negotiations with the U.S.
Government in 1853 led to subsequent
hostilities and the removal of many
tribal members to the Grand Ronde
Reservation on the Yamhill River, a
large group of Umpqua sought safety in
remote areas of their traditional
homeland. The Cow Creek Band of
Umpqua Indians of Oregon was
terminated as a recognized tribe by the
federal government in 1954, and later
restored to federal recognition in 1982.
The Klamath Tribes, Oregon, consist
of the Klamath, Modoc and Yahooskin
tribes. Their ancestral territory includes
much of south–central Oregon from the
east slopes of the Cascades to the
adjoining desert areas, northward to the
Deschutes River headwaters and as far
south as Mount Shasta in California.
The tribes speak Klamath and Modoc,
two closely-related dialects belonging to
the Plateau branch of the Penutian
language family. The tribes were
removed to the Klamath Reservation
immediately northeast of Upper
Klamath Lake in the mid–1860s,
terminated from federal recognition in

1954, and then restored as a federally
recognized tribe in 1986.
The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma and
the Klamath Tribes, Oregon, have a
shared ancestry. The traditional Modoc
homeland consisted of some 5,000
square miles along what is now the
California–Oregon border. Following the
conclusion of the Modoc War in 1873,
the Modoc people were relocated to the
Quapaw Reservation in Oklahoma. In
1909, the Modoc were granted
permission to return to Oregon. Those
who returned became part of the
Klamath Tribes, Oregon. The Modoc
Tribe of Oklahoma and the Klamath
Tribes, Oregon, have formally agreed
that repatriation of human remains from
the historically documented territory of
the Klamath Tribes should go to the
Klamath Tribes, Oregon, for reburial.
Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Portland District have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of at least three individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Portland District also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the 166 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 U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Portland District 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 Coos, Lower
Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon;
Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians of
Oregon; Klamath Tribes, Oregon; and
Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Daniel Mulligan, NAGPRA
Coordinator, Environmental Resources
Branch, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Portland District, P. O. Box 2946,
Portland, OR 97208–2946, telephone
(503) 808–4768, before July 17, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon, Cow Creek Band
of Umpqua Indians of Oregon, and/or
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation, Oregon, may proceed after

of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw
Indians of Oregon, Coquille Tribe of
Oregon, and Klamath Tribes, Oregon, in
consultation with the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, Portland District, have
indicated their desire to defer their
interest to the other mentioned Tribes.

Office of History and Archaeology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Qawalangin Tribe
of Unalaska.
In 1950, human remains representing
a minimum of 10 individuals were
removed from the Eider Point site near
Unalaska on Unalaska Island in the Fox
Island group of the eastern Aleutian
Islands, AK. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
During the 1950s or 1960s, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
undetermined site near Unalaska on
Amaknak Island in the Fox Island group
of the eastern Aleutian Islands, AK. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
According to museum records, the
human remains from both sites were
excavated by Dr. Ted Bank of Western
Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI,
under federal permits. All excavations
were done on land managed by the
Bureau of Land Management authority
at the time. In about 1998, the Museum
of the Aleutians received the Western
Michigan University archeological
collections from Unalaska and Amaknak
Islands, AK, including human remains
that had been in the possession of the
now–deceased Dr. Bank. In about 2003,
human remains were moved to the
University of Alaska, Anchorage,
Anthropology Department. In 2004, the
human remains were sent to the State of
Alaska Office of History and
Archaeology for inventory.
Unalaska Island and nearby Amaknak
Island have been inhabited for over
8,000 years by Aleut (Unangan) people.
Based on geographical location, oral
history, and archeological evidence, the
human remains from these two islands
are determined to be Native American
and ancestors of the Qawalangin Tribe
of Unalaska.
Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 11
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On June 6, 2008, the
Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (73
FR 11440, March 3, 2008) of the subject
five-year review was adequate and that

will be issued thereafter, pursuant to
section 207.62(d)(4) of the
Commission’s rules.
Written submissions. As provided in
section 207.62(d) of the Commission’s
rules, interested parties that are parties
to the review and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,3 and any party
other than an interested party to the
review may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determination the
Commission should reach in the review.
Comments are due on or before July 1,
2008, and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither
a party to the five-year review nor an
interested party may submit a brief
written statement (which shall not
contain any new factual information)
pertinent to the review by July 1, 2008.
However, should the Department of
Commerce extend the time limit for its
completion of the final results of its
review, the deadline for comments
(which may not contain new factual
information) on Commerce’s final

Commission’s statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s Web site.
2 Chairman Daniel R. Pearson and Vice Chairman
Shara L. Aranoff determined that the changes in the
conditions of competition warranted conducting a
full review.

submitted by Anvil International, LP, and Ward
Manufacturing, LLP, to be individually adequate.
Comments from other interested parties will not be
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
