Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 29, 2008 / Notices
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
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 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 U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Region 7 professional
staff with assistance from the Alaska
State Office of History and Archaeology
and University of Alaska, Anchorage, in
consultation with representatives of the
Aleut Corporation and Unangan
Repatriation Commission, a nonfederally recognized Native Alaskan
group.
In 1949, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Carlisle Island, in the
Islands of the Four Mountains area of
the Aleutian Islands chain in Alaska,
during an expedition by William S.
Laughlin, a physical anthropologist. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
There are no radiocarbon dates
available for the human remains. All
known dated cave burials from the
Aleutians are younger than 2,000 years
old (Black 1982, pg 24; Black 2003, pg
36; Hayes 2002). The burial context and
physical traits of the human remains are
consistent with those observed for precontact Aleut populations. Human
remains and associated grave goods
from sites in the Aleutians that were
collected by Dr. Laughlin were sent to
the University of Connecticut. In 2002,
most of the Aleutian Island human
remains were sent to The Museum of
the Aleutians in Unalaska, AK.
Analysis, including cranio-metric
analysis, by the University of Alaska,
Anchorage and with the assistance of
the Alaska State Office of History and
Archaeology, were done on the human
remains. Radiocarbon dates were not
obtained by the University of Alaska
Anchorage or the State Office of History
and Archaeology. Skeletal morphology
of present-day Aleut populations is
similar to that of prehistoric Aleut
populations and demonstrates biological
affiliation between present-day Aleut
groups and prehistoric populations in
the Aleutian Islands.
Cultural affiliation between the
prehistoric population on Carlisle Island
and the Chaluka Corporation and Native
Village of Nikolski is demonstrated by
recent historical records. In 1741,
Russian explorers made contact with the
people of the Islands of the Four
Mountains. These people and their
culture are not well known, but were a

distinct variant of the Aleutian culture.
In the late 1700s, with Russian
assistance, the Umnak Aleuts waged
war on the people of the Islands of the
Four Mountains. Survivors of the
conflict were removed to villages on
Umnak Island and absorbed into the
population and the population of the
Islands of the Four Mountains was ‘‘no
more’’ by 1790 (Black 1982, pg 20).
Based on scientific studies, aboriginal
occupation, historical records, and
burial context, it is reasonably believed
that the descendants of the people of the
Islands of the Four Mountains,
including Carlisle Island, are members
of the present-day Chaluka Corporation
and Native Village of Nikolski, which is
represented by the Nikolski IRA
Council.
Officials of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Region 7 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Region 7 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 Native American human
remains and the Chaluka Corporation
and Native Village of Nikolski.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Debra Corbett, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, 1011 East Tudor
Road, Anchorage, AK 99503, telephone
(907) 786–3399, before November 28,
2008. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Chaluka Corporation and
Native Village of Nikolski may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region
7 is responsible for notifying the
Chaluka Corporation Native Village of
Nikolski, and Nikolski IRA Council that
this notice has been published.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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 control of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and in
the possession of the Northwest
Museum of Arts & Culture, Spokane,
WA. The human remains were removed
from the Spokane Indian Reservation
which is predominantly situated in
Stevens County, WA, with an exception
of a small plot of land and a section of
the Spokane River that are located in
Lincoln County, WA.
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 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 Northwest
Museum of Arts & Culture professional
staff, on behalf of the U.S. Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
in consultation with representatives of
the Spokane Tribe of the Spokane
Reservation, Washington.
Around the early 1900s, human
remains representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from an
unknown location on the Spokane
Indian Reservation in Stevens County,
WA, probably by Mr. Daniel Dwight, a
well-known collector of Spokane Indian
relics. The human remains were in Mr.
Dwight’s possession until his passing in
1982 when many of the Indian artifacts
he amassed over the years were donated
to the Museum of Native American
Culture, Spokane, WA (Accn. Number
1982.37). The Dwight Collection was
stored by the Museum of Native
American Culture until the museum’s
closure in 1991. Subsequently, the
majority of the Museum of Native
American Culture’s collections was
taken over by the Cheney Cowles
Museum, later named the Northwest

Museum of Arts & Culture. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on museum records, as well as
consultation with the late Robert
Sherwood, a cultural representative of
the Spokane Tribe, the human remains
were most likely removed during the
early 1900s from the Spokane
Reservation. The human remains
include two human skulls and
mandibles. Though un-numbered, these
human remains are reasonable believed
to be a part of a group of bones listed
in the Daniel Dwight donation of 1982.
The collection records include crania
metatarsal, and vertebra bone fragments,
and are consistent with the inventory of
human remains listed above.
Based on provenience, museum
records, consultation, and the donor’s
collection history, the officials of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and Northwest
Museum of Arts & Cultural reasonably
believe that the human remains are
culturally affiliated with the Spokane
Tribe of the Spokane Reservation,
Washington.

the sale for importation, and the sale
within the United States after
importation of certain catheters,
