Kawaiisu. In 1863, soldiers of the U.S.
Army killed 35–40 Tubatulabal and
Palagewan men near Kernville. Starting
in 1865, the Tubatulabal began to
practice agriculture and in 1893, the
majority of them and a few Palagewan
survivors were allotted land in the
South Fork and Kern Valleys. From
1900 to 1972, many Tubatulabals moved
to the Tule River Indian Reservation,
north of the Kern valley region. It is
reasonably believed that those that
survived intermarried with the Yokuts
in the Kern County area. Descendants of
these Yokuts are members of the
Federally-recognized Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
Officials of the Raymond M. Alf
Museum of Paleontology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of six individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Raymond M. Alf Museum of
Paleontology 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 Santa Rosa Indian Community
of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
and Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Don Lofgren, Director,
Raymond M. Alf Museum of
Paleontology, 1175 West Baseline Road,
Claremont, CA 91711, telephone (909)
624–2798, before March 4, 2009.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Raymond M. Alf Museum of
Paleontology is responsible for notifying
the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California 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 Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum (Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA, and in the
physical custody of the Northwest
Museum of Arts and Culture, Spokane,
WA. The human remains were most
likely removed from Grant 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 Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Between 1939–1940, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown area most likely within Grant
County, WA, by Warren T. Lee
(Accn#2008–184). Mr. Lee was an
amateur archeologist working along the
Columbia River, near Vantage, Grant
County, WA, between 1938 and 1954. In
1950, the human remains were received
by the Burke Museum. They were later
mistakenly transferred to the Cheney
Cowles Museum (now the Northwest
Museum of Arts and Culture), as part of
a return of a loan of human remains
from the Collier, Hudson, and Ford
collection. The Northwest Museum of
Arts and Culture identified the human
remains of this individual during their
NAGPRA inventory. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Early and late published ethnographic
documentation indicates that the

Vantage area was the aboriginal territory
of the Moses-Columbia or Sinkiuse,
Yakima, and Wanapum (Daugherty
1973, Miller 1998, Mooney 1896, Ray
1936, Spier 1936), whose descendents
are represented today by the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Officials of the Burke Museum 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
Burke Museum have also 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 Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group. Furthermore,
officials of the Burke Museum have
determined there is a cultural
relationship between the human
remains and the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Megon Noble, Burke
Museum, University of Washington, Box
353010, Seattle, WA 98195–3010,
telephone (206) 685–3849, before March
4, 2009. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group, may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
