sherds; 10 shell spoons/fragments; 1
wooden tablet; 19 bone tools; 1 polished
bone tube; 3 samples of unidentified
material; 27 ceramic vessels; 1 sample of
material from inside of a copper covered
coiled wooden object; 41 wood/
fragments; 1 worked shell; and 20
miscellaneous worked stone/fragments.
The excavations at the site were
primarily conducted at an area currently
identified as ‘‘Mound C,’’ which had
previously been partially excavated by
other agencies, at the edge of Mound B
and in the ‘‘Village Area’’ of the 52–acre
historic site. Radiocarbon studies
indicate that the burials date from A.D.
800 to 1400. The site is normally
identified as a ‘‘Mississippi Site’’ that
dates from A.D. 900 to 1550. There is no
absolute archeological proof that links
the site with any modern day Indian
tribe. Evidence in the form of historical
documents, early maps, and a listing of
common lifeway traits were presented
by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of
Oklahoma, Poarch Band of Creeks,
Kialegee Tribal Town, Thlopthlocco
Tribal Town, and Alabama-Quassarte
Tribal Town during consultation.
Similar information was presented by
the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma,
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and
United Keetowah Band of Cherokee
Indians, who occupied the Bartow
County area at the time of forced
removal (A.D. 1838). However, the
Cherokee do not have a shared group
relationship to the Native American
human remains described in this notice,
as the Cherokee were not present in the
area prior to approximately A.D. 1450,
which post-dates the burials at Etowah.
The results of the consultation and
studies with the tribes, have determined
that there is a reasonable belief of a
shared group identity between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects from the
Etowah Mounds and the modern
Muscogeean (Creek) Tribes. The
Muscogeean (Creek) Tribes are
represented by the Alabama-Quassarte
Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal
Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek)
Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band of
Creek Indians of Alabama; and
Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma.
Officials of the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 404
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 187,060 objects
described above 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 the
Georgia Department of Natural
Resources 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
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation,
Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek
Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco
Tribal Town, Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and/
or associated funerary objects should
contact Dr. David Crass, State
Archaeologist, Department of Natural
Resources, Historic Preservation
Division, 34 Peachtree Street NW, Suite
1600, Atlanta, GA 30303, telephone
(404) 656–9344, before April 24, 2009.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation,
Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek
Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco
Tribal Town, Oklahoma may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Georgia Department of Natural
Resources is responsible for notifying
the Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town,
Oklahoma; Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians of North Carolina; Kialegee

Walla, WA. The human remains were
removed from Walla Walla County, WA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

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 Whitman
College and Northwest Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon.
On an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a home
site in Walla Walla, Walla Walla
County, WA. In 1929, the human
remains were donated to the Northwest
Museum at Whitman College by Mr.
Emory Frank (WHIT–X–0008; Old Cat.
No. 540, 5743 and WHIT–XX–0049; Old
Cat. No. 5743). No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
According to museum records, the
human remains were identified as
Indian, and were found buried in a
sitting position. The human remains are
determined to be Native American
based on skeletal morphology, as well as
on museum records of the provenience.
The city of Walla Walla is within the
ceded lands of the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation,
Oregon. The ceded land of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation extends over 6.4

occupied by the Weyiiletpu. Walla
Walla is in an area that the Pasxapu
band of the Weyiiletpu used for winter
quarters. The Walla Walla River and its
tributaries is where they fished for
salmon and gathered foods and
medicines along the river banks and
ridges. The Pasxapu summers were
spent hunting, fishing, and gathering
foods and medicines in the adjacent
Blue Mountains. Consultation evidence
from tribal representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation further supports this
evidence of occupation. Descendants of

American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Texarkana
Museums System professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
In 1978, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from the Cabe Mounds in
Bowie County, TX. The human remains
and associated artifacts were acquired
by the museum through its thendirector, Katy Caver, as part of an
archeological survey of the region. No
known individuals were identified. The
141 associated funerary objects are 3
pieces of pottery; 13 pottery fragments;
2 beads; 2 projectile points; 70 lots of
debitage; and 51 pre-form tools and
fragments.
Two of the three individuals removed
from the Cabe Mounds were found
scattered around two burials, and the
remaining individual was found intact
in a third burial. The pottery fragments,
tools and tool fragments were found
scattered among all three burials. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects are related to the Caddo Nation
who settled the Red River Valley more
than 1,200 years ago. The Caddo Nation
remained a strong presence in this
region well into the 18th century. The
manner of interment is consistent with
Caddo tradition, as are the decorative
and construction techniques used in the
pottery found in proximity to the grave
sites. References to the complex now
known as the Cabe Mounds date back to
the latter part of the 19th century and
were made by C.B. Moore, one of the
first to identify and explore Caddo sites
in East Texas. The site was acquired by
the Archaeological Conservancy in
1985.
Officials of the Texarkana Museums
System have determined that, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human
remains described above represent the
physical remains of three individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of
the Texarkana Museums System also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 141 objects
described above 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
