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 Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL.
The human remains were removed from
the area of Omaha, NE.

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

In 1893, the Field Museum of Natural
History purchased the skull of one
individual from Ward’s Natural Science
Establishment of Rochester, NY (Field
Museum of Natural History catalogue
number 41882). Original Field Museum
of Natural History records state that the
human remains are ‘‘Sioux, killed 1861
(Omaha).’’ No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American based on
the specific cultural and geographic
attribution in Field Museum of Natural
History records. The records identify the
human remains as ‘‘Sioux’’ from
Omaha, NE. While the Santee Sioux
Nation is the only Federally–recognized
Sioux Indian tribe in Nebraska at the
present time, the 1861 date of death
predates the establishment of the Santee
Sioux Reservation in Nebraska. Other
Sioux groups were present in Nebraska
at that time. ‘‘Sioux’’ descendants are
represented by the present–day
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana;
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the
Cheyenne River Reservation, South
Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota;

Officials of the Field 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 Field Museum of Natural
History also have determined that,
pursuant 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 Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of
the Fort Peck Indian Reservation,
Montana; Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe

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 and control of
the Museum of Anthropology,
Washington State University, Pullman,
WA. The human remains were removed
from various locations in southeastern
Washington State.
This notice is published as part of the

of the museum 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 Museum of
Anthropology, Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho;
and Wanapum Band, a non–federally
recognized Indian group.
Between approximately 1950 and
1970, human remains representing a
minimum of 23 individuals were
removed from various sites along the
lower Snake and mid–Columbia Rivers
by faculty or were donated to the
Department of Anthropology at
Washington State University. The
human remains were assembled and
used for a number of years in teaching
human osteology. No known
individuals have been identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The collection of human remains has
become known as the Former
Washington State University Human
Osteology Teaching Collection.
Institutional history within the
department, including conversations
with the late Dr. Grover Krantz who
assembled and used the collection,
indicate that the human remains are
from sites along the lower Snake and
mid–Columbia Rivers in southeastern
Washington State. Osteological evidence
indicates that the 845 remains in the
Former Washington State University
Human Osteology Teaching Collection
represent a minimum of 23 individuals
of Native American ancestry.
Furthermore, the human remains that
were removed date to the late
prehistoric period and historic sites
along the lower Snake and middle
Columbia Rivers.
The Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe of Idaho; and Wanapum Band, a
non–federally recognized Indian group,
are descendants of the communities of
the Native American people that used
the lower Snake and Columbia Rivers.
Based on linguistic, oral tradition,
geographic and archeological evidence
for the Columbia Plateau from
prehistoric through the historic times, as
well as consultation evidence, the
officials of Museum of Anthropology,
