At an unknown time, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Lopez
and Decatur Islands in San Juan County,
WA. The human remains came into the
Horner Collection at an unknown time,
but are described in an inventory report
conducted in the early 1970s. The
human remains were located in Oregon
State University’s Anthropology
Department during an inventory in
2006. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Both individuals appear to be part of
the Ethan Allen Collection, as ‘‘Ethan
Allen Collection’’ is written on each
skull. The Ethan Allen Collection had
been on loan to the Horner Collection
sometime in the past. Ethan Allen was
known to collect Native American
artifacts from all over the Puget Sound
area, including the San Juan Islands.
Additional writing appears on both
skulls. One individual has ‘‘Decatur
Island, Puget Sound’’ and the other
‘‘Lopez Island, Puget Sound.’’
Osteologist professionals of the
Anthropology Department at Oregon
State University have determined that
both skulls are of Native American
ancestry. Traditional territory for the
Samish Indian Tribe includes Samish
Island, Guemes Island, eastern Lopez
Island, Cypress Island, and Fidalgo
Island. Both Lopez and Decatur Islands
are within Samish traditional territory
and continue to be used by the Samish
Indian Tribe, Washington.
Officials of the Horner Collection,
Oregon State University 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

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 Samish Indian Tribe,
Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Sabah Randhawa,

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

were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Site records in the Minnesota Office
of the State Archaeologist record a
minimum of 226 mounds at the Cady
Farm site, and suggest an Oneota
