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 Raymond M. Alf
Museum of Paleontology professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Lummi Tribe of
the Lummi Reservation, Washington.
In 1963, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from San Juan Island, San Juan
County, WA. A location card is
associated with the human remains, but
no additional information exists on the
circumstances of removal. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The San Juan Islands are located in
the northwest corner of Washington
State immediately adjacent to the
Canadian border. The San Juan Islands
are part of the traditional area of the
Central Coast Salish. Four permanent
villages and one seasonal village are
located on the North end of San Juan
Island and are believed to be the home
of the Songhees and Lummi. The
seasonal village shows continual
occupation for at least 5,000 years.
Based on geographical location, officials
of the Raymond M. Alf Museum
reasonably believe that there is a shared
group relationship of the human
remains removed from San Juan Island
with members of the Lummi Tribe of the
Lummi Reservation, Washington.
In 1936, human remains representing
a minimum of four individuals were
removed from ‘‘Wallace Island’’ in
British Columbia, Canada. No
information exists on the circumstance
of removal, other than a location card.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Wallace Island is located across the
Boundary Pass from San Juan Island in
Washington State. Aboriginal use of the
Wallace Island is believed to date back
at least 5,000 years, and it was in use
at the time of European contact. Coastal
Salish traditional territory includes the
island, and has been the seasonal home
of many Coast Salish groups. The Coast
Salish in that area spoke different
dialects of the Northern Straits Salish or
Lekwungaynung language.
The Northern Straits Salish language
stock, includes a number of dialects:
Saanich, Samish, Songish, Sooke,
Semiahmoo, and Lummi, which are
similar enough that a speaker of one
could understand a speaker of another.
The Lummi spoke the Songish or
Songhee dialect (also known as the
Lekwungen or Lekungen). The Lummi
Tribe is a part of the Coast Salish
ethnolinguistic group, and Lummi is a
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
dialect of the Northern Straits Salish.
The Samish, Lummi, and Semiahmoo
controlled the extreme northern coast of
Washington and the southwestern
corner of British Columbia, where
‘‘Wallace Island’’ is located. Based on
language and geographical location,
officials of the Raymond M. Alf
Museum reasonably believe that there is
a shared group relationship to the
individuals removed from ‘‘Wallace
Island’’ with members of the Lummi
Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington.
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 five 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 Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation, Washington.
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 April 6, 2009.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation, Washington may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
Raymond M. Alf Museum of
Paleontology is responsible for notifying
the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation, Washington that this notice
has been published.

In approximately 1969, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the Lake
Nokomis area, Oneida County, WI, by
an unknown individual. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
According to school district records,
at the time of removal, the Oneida
County Sheriff’s Department conducted
an investigation. The human remains
are between 2,500 and 3,000 years old.
Based on the age of the human remains
and their association to an area with a
Native American presence, the human
remains are determined to be Native
American. Since the area has been
occupied by many tribes, the Native
American human remains are
determined to have a broad cultural
