the 1909 diking of the Herring River
estuary have documented chronic and
severe water-quality problems and
frequent fish kills. In response, the
Town of Wellfleet in August 2005
appointed a Herring River Technical
Committee, representing the Towns of
Wellfleet and Truro, Massachusetts
Coastal Zone Management, Cape Cod
National Seashore, and other federal,
state and regional resource-management
agencies, to develop a Conceptual
Restoration Plan. The Conceptual
Restoration Plan was completed in
October 2007 and accepted by the towns
and the Seashore shortly thereafter
under an agreement that further
established a new Herring River
Restoration Committee tasked with
guiding the project through both federal
NEPA and state MEPA review and
developing a detailed restoration plan.
Through an extensive preliminary
scoping process conducted during the
development of the Conceptual
Restoration Plan, the Herring River
Technical Committee identified these
issues: Restoration of the estuary’s
functions through reconnection to the
marine environment, improvement of
surface-water quality, protection of
shellfish beds, protection of potable
groundwater quality, protection of
adjacent private properties and public
roadways, nuisance mosquito breeding,
and exotic plants.
In addition to the no action
alternative, alternatives that could be
considered in the EIS/EIR include full
tidal restoration and a phased and
incremental process of tidal restoration,
monitoring and analysis of system
response, public outreach and adaptive
management.

that meets the definition of
‘‘unassociated funerary object’’ under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
item. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The Museum of Oregon Country,
Oregon Agricultural College was
renamed the John B. Horner Museum of
the Oregon Country in 1936, and
became commonly known as the Horner
Museum. The Oregon Agricultural
College was renamed the Oregon State
College in 1937, and became Oregon
State University in 1962. The Horner
Museum closed in 1995. Currently,
cultural items from the Horner Museum
are referred to as the Horner Collection,
which is owned by, and in the
possession of, Oregon State University.
The Horner Collection, Oregon State
University professional staff consulted
with representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and
Siuslaw Indians of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon;
Coquille Tribe of Oregon; Karuk Tribe of
California; Smith River Rancheria,
California; and Yurok Tribe of the Yurok
Reservation, California. The

Swinomish Reservation, Washington;
and Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington were informed
of the item in this claim, but did not
participate in the consultations.
At an unknown date, a trinket basket
was removed from Vancouver, Clark
County, WA, probably by Mrs. J.E.
Barrett. Mrs. Barrett brought the basket
to the Horner Museum in 1934 and
gifted it to the Horner Museum in 1972.
The Horner Collection, Oregon State
University has no evidence the trinket
basket was ever buried with any
individual. However, J.E. Barrett is
known to have collected cultural items
from burials and mounds. Based on
consultation and museum records, the
Horner Collection, Oregon State
University has identified this cultural
item as an unassociated funerary object.
Tribal representatives have identified
this basket as typical of those found at
the mouth of the Columbia River and
displays characteristics of Clatsop,
Tillamook, and Chinook basketry
techniques and materials. The Clatsop,
Nehalem, Tillamook, Nestucca,
Neachesna (Salmon River Tillamook),
and Siletz Band of Tillamooks were all
parties to the 1855 Coast Treaty. The
treaty was never ratified and the
northern Oregon coastal bands were not
forced to remove to the Siletz
Reservation as stipulated in the treaty.
For the most part, remaining in their
traditional territories the northern
Oregon coast bands traded and intermarried with members of the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Reservation, Oregon and Confederated
Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community
of Oregon. Many of the Tillamook
families at Salmon River (within the
Siletz Reservation and often having
Chinook and Clatsop ancestry) received
Siletz Reservation Allotments.
Officials of the Horner Collection,
Oregon State University have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the one cultural item
described above is 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 and is believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the Horner Collection,
Oregon State University 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
unassociated funerary object and the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon and Confederated
Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon.

other items known to have come from
graves and mounds to the Horner
