removed from the Guss Island Site (45–
SJ–21) in San Juan County, WA, during
legally authorized excavations by
University of Washington Professor Julie
Stein. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were

In 1950, human remains representing
a minimum of seven individuals were
removed from the English Camp Site
(45–SJ–24) in San Juan County, WA,
during a University of Washington
summer field school directed by
Professor Adan Treganza of San
Francisco State University. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were transferred to the Burke Museum
and accessioned by the National Park
Service. No known individuals were
identified. The 27 associated funerary
objects are 1 broken chipped stone
projectile point and 26 non-human bone
fragments.
In 1970, 1971, and 1972, human

Sprague. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were

flakes, and 47 non-human skeletal
fragments and non-human teeth.

In 1951, human remains representing
a minimum of seven individuals were
removed from the North Garrison Bay
Site (45–SJ–25) in San Juan County,
WA, during a summer field school in
archeology under the direction of
Professor Carroll Burroughs of the
University of Washington. The North
Garrison Bay Site is a prehistoric village
site north of both the Guss Island Site
and English Camp Site referred to
previously. The fragmentary human
remains were transferred to the Burke
Museum and accessioned by the
National Park Service. No known
individuals were identified. The 11
associated funerary objects are 1 shell
fragment, 1 fused non-human radius
and ulna, 1 deer ulna, 1 carnivore
mandible fragment, 1 non-human rib
fragment, 2 non-human bone fragments,
and 4 lots of organic matter.
Based upon non-destructive
osteological analysis, archeological data,
geographic context and accession data,
the 34 individuals from the four San
Juan Island sites are of Native American
ancestry. Arden King’s analysis of
archeological data from Cattle Point
resulted in the identification of three
prehistoric phases, with the most recent
representing a maritime adaptation that
is ancestral to historic native
populations in the United States and
Canada. Archeological research and
analysis indicates continuous habitation
of San Juan Island, including the four
sites mentioned here, from
approximately 2,000 years ago through
the mid–19th century. Anthropologist
Wayne Suttles has identified the
occupants of San Juan Island as
Northern Straits language-speaking
people, a linguistic subset of a larger
Central Coast Salish population, who
were ancestors of the Lummi Tribe of
the Lummi Reservation, Washington.
Furthermore, Suttles’ anthropological
research in the late 1940s confirmed
that the Lummi primarily occupied San
Juan Island and other nearby islands in
the contact period and during the early
history of the Lummi Reservation that
was established on the mainland in
1855 through Article II of the Treaty of
Point Elliott. San Juan Island is within
the aboriginal territory of the Lummi
Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington. Lummi oral tradition,
history and anthropological data clearly
associate the Lummi with San Juan
Island.
The Samish Indian Tribe, Washington
is closely associated with the Lummi
Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington linguistically and
culturally, and the Samish regard San
Juan Island to be within the usual and
accustomed territory shared by both
VerDate Nov<24>2008

tribes at the time of the Point Elliott
Treaty negotiations in 1855. In 2006, the
Samish Indian Tribe, Washington and
the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation, Washington entered into a
cooperative agreement to have the
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington take the lead in receiving
repatriated human remains and funerary
objects from San Juan Island National
Historical Park. The traditional territory
of the Swinomish Indians of the
Swinomish Reservation, Washington is
on the mainland in the vicinity of La
Conner, WA, on Whidbey Island and
Fidalgo Island, the site of their
reservation.
Officials of San Juan Island National
Historical Park have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 34
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of San Juan Island
National Historical Park also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 134 associated funerary
objects 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 San Juan
Island National Historical Park 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
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi 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 Peter Dederich, superintendent,
San Juan Island National Historical
Park, P.O. Box 429, Friday Harbor, WA
98250–04289, telephone (360) 378–
2240, before April 13, 2009.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington may proceed after that date
if no additional claimants come
forward.
San Juan Island National Historical
Park is responsible for notifying the
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation,
Washington; Samish Indian Tribe,
Washington; and Swinomish Indians of
the Swinomish Reservation, Washington
that this notice has been published.
