village and extensive prehistoric
cemetery exceeding 1,000 years in
antiquity. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1980, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed by the Ferry County sheriff
from the Katy Creek Site (45–FE–18), a
late prehistoric site in Ferry County,
WA. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In an unknown span of years, human
remains representing a minimum of 23
individuals were removed by park
visitors and staff from the surface of the
Nancy Creek Site (45–FE–16), described
as ‘‘an aboriginal camp, burial, and
historic site,’’ in Ferry County, WA. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1985, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from the Nancy Creek Site (45–
FE–16), in Ferry County, WA. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
On the basis of the geographical
location of the sites within the Plateau
Culture Area, documented burial
practices, osteological evidence as
described by archeologists and physical
anthropologists, and the nature of
prehistoric and historic artifacts and
archeological sites, the human remains
described above are Native American.
Archeological analysis of the sites,
anthropological research,
ethnohistorical studies, and tribal oral
traditions demonstrate by a
preponderance of the evidence that the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects represent
Plateau Culture Area, Interior Salish
speakers who have continuously
occupied the Columbia River drainage
for thousands of years. The six sites are
within the judicially established
aboriginal territory of the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington. Members of the nearby
Spokane Tribe of the Spokane
Reservation, Washington are also
Interior Salish speakers, but their
aboriginal territory is to the east, along
the Spokane River and its tributaries.
Officials of Lake Roosevelt National
Recreation Area have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 93
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of Lake Roosevelt
National Recreation Area also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 436 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 Lake
Roosevelt National Recreation Area
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 the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Deborah Bird, superintendent,
Lake Roosevelt National Recreation
Area, 1008 Crest Drive, Coulee Dam,
WA 99116–0037, telephone (509) 633–
9441, before October 3, 2008.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
Lake Roosevelt National Recreation
Area is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington that this notice
has been published.
