descendant communities from the
Native people that jointly used the
Columbia River 1,200 years ago are
members of the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington
and Confederated Tribes and Bands of
the Yakama Nation, Washington.
Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management, Spokane District Office
and the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of a minimum of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management, Spokane District Office
and the Museum of Anthropology at

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 109 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 Bureau
of Land Management, Spokane District
Office 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
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington and
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

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 possession and control of
Warren Anatomical Museum, Harvard
University, Boston, MA. The human
remains were removed from the Island
of Hawaii, HI.
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 Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology and
Warren Anatomical Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Hawaii Island
Burial Council, Hui Malama I Na
Kupuna O Hawai’i Nei, Oahu Island
Burial Council, and the Office of
Hawaiian Affairs.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from the
Island of Hawaii, HI, by J.W. Whitney.
The human remains were purchased by
the Harvard Dental School Faculty for
the Harvard Dental School Museum in
1893. Between 1936 and 1968, the
human remains were transferred to the
Warren Anatomical Museum. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Osteological characteristics indicate
that the human remains are Native
American. Museum documentation
states that these individuals were
recovered from ‘‘lava caves’’ on the
Island of Hawaii. Anthropological and
historic information indicates that cave
interments are consistent with
traditional Native Hawaiian mortuary
practices. In addition, archeological and
historic documentation combined with
oral traditions support that the human
remains are from an area considered to
be part of the aboriginal homelands of
ancestral Native Hawaiians. Present-day
groups that represent Native Hawaiians
