Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group,
In 1871, human remains representing
one individual were collected from the
banks of the Snake River at the mouth
of Tucannon, near Fort Taylor,
Columbia County, WA, by C.R.
Greenleaf. In 1872, Mr. Greenleaf gifted
these human remains to the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Museum documentation identifies
this individual as a ‘‘Palouse Indian.’’
The attribution of such a specific
cultural affiliation to the human
remains indicates that the interment
post-dates sustained contact between
indigenous groups and Europeans
beginning in the early 19th century. The
human remains were from an area
commonly considered to be traditional
Palouse territory during this period.
Oral traditions and historic evidence
indicate that although some Palouse
people occupied their traditional
territory until the mid–1900s, many
Palouse people went to live on
neighboring reservations beginning in
the late 19th century, where they
continue to maintain their group
identity as Palouse people. Based on
consultation with the Indian Tribes
listed above, the present-day tribes
representing the Palouse people are the
Coeur D’Alene Tribe of the Coeur
D’Alene Reservation, Idaho;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University 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 Peabody Museum of
Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard
University 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 Coeur D’Alene Tribe of the
