known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Museum of the American Indian
records list the locality of origin as Crab
Creek Coulee, WA. The morphology of
the human remains is consistent with
Native American ancestry. The
condition of the human remains
suggests that they were removed from a
Historic Period burial that probably
dated to the 1800s.
Tribal representatives identified Crab
Creek, Grant County, WA, as part of the
ancestral territory of both the Wanapum
and Sinkayuse. Historic records from
the early 19th century document
Wanapum and Sinkayuse villages in
Grant County. The northern boundary of
the Wanapum extended to Crab Creek,
while the southern edge of the
Sinkayuse territory extended to Crab
Creek. The extremities of the territories
were defined by diffuse boundaries, and
boundaries shifted according to who
lived in or utilized land along the creek.
At the time, the people living in the
region did not organize themselves
according to a tribe in the modern-day
sense. Organization was along family,
clan, and village lines. Trading and
intermarriage were common between
villages and groups.
During the 19th century, some
Wanapum became part of the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakima Nation, Washington, while
others remained part of the staterecognized Wanapum Band that stayed
in their ancestral territory. The
Sinkayuse relocated among the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington. Today, all
three groups maintain close relations
and coordinate repatriations for human
remains from Grant County.
Officials of New York University
College of Dentistry 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 New York University
College of Dentistry 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
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,

August 6, 2009. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group,
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; and Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group,
that this notice has been published.

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 and associated funerary objects
in the possession of the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis, Davis, CA. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Lake
County, CA.
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 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 Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of
the Colusa Indian Community of the
Colusa Rancheria, California; Cortina

Rancheria of Wintun Indians of
California.
In 1971–1973, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from CA–
LAK–152 in Lake County, CA.
Accompanying records indicate that the
human remains were recovered by the
Foundation for Archaeological Research
during archeological excavations related
to the construction of Indian Valley
Reservoir by the Yolo County Flood
Control and Water Conservation
District. In 2006, the Yolo County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District
donated the Indian Valley archeological
collection to the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California at Davis. No known
individual was identified. The 71
associated funerary objects are 11
clamshell disk beads, 59 Olivella lipped
and full lipped beads and bead
fragments, and 1 obsidian biface.
Based on burial context and site
characteristics, the human remains
described above from Lake County are
determined to be Native American in
origin. The presence of clamshell disk
beads with the burial indicates that it
dates to Phase 2 of the Late Period
(approximately A.D. 1500–1790).
Linguistic evidence indicates that the
Patwin (Southern Wintun) moved
southward from the vicinity of the
California–Oregon border into the
Sacramento Valley sometime around
A.D. 0, and then spread into the
surrounding foothills sometime before
the beginning of Phase 2 of the Late
Period. The archeological assemblage
from CA–LAK–152 also indicates an
occupation that is consistent with the
ethnographic Patwin. Based on
geographical location and age of the
associated funerary objects, the human
remains and associated funerary objects
are culturally affiliated with
descendants of the Patwin.
In 1971–1973, human remains
representing a minimum of one

shell disk beads and bead fragments,
302 historic glass beads and bead
fragments, 1 bone bead fragment, 1
possible stone bead fragment, and 5
pieces of incised bone that may be from
a whistle or ear tube.
Based on burial context and site
characteristics, the human remains
described above from Lake County are
determined to be Native American in
origin. Accompanying field reports
indicate this site may be the Patwin
village of Loli recorded by Kroeber
(1932:263). The presence of historic
items indicates that the burial from CA–
LAK–153 dates to the Historic Period
(after A.D. 1790). Linguistic evidence
indicates that the Patwin (Southern
Wintun) moved southward from the
vicinity of the California–Oregon border
into the Sacramento Valley sometime
around A.D. 0, and then spread into the
surrounding foothills sometime before
the beginning of Phase 2 of the Late

from CA–LAK–152 and CA–LAK–153
also indicate an occupation that is
consistent with the ethnographic
Patwin. Based on geographical location
and age of the associated funerary
objects, the human remains and
associated funerary objects are
culturally affiliated with descendants of
the Patwin. Descendants of the Patwin
are members of the Cachil DeHe Band
of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian
Community of the Colusa Rancheria,
California; Cortina Indian Rancheria of
Wintun Indians of California; and
Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun
Indians of California.
Officials of the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10),
the human remains described above
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Department of
Anthropology Museum at the University
of California, Davis also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 419 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
Department of Anthropology Museum at
the University of California, Davis have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), there is a relationship of

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 and associated funerary object
in the control of the Thomas Burke
Memorial Washington State Museum
(Burke Museum), Seattle, WA. The
human remains and associated funerary
object were removed from south of Kent,
King County, WA.

in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary object. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Muckleshoot
Indian Tribe of the Muckleshoot
Reservation, Washington; Puyallup
Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation,
Washington; Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe
of Washington; Snoqualmie Tribe,
Washington; Suquamish Indian Tribe of
the Port Madison Reservation,
Washington; and Tulalip Tribes of the
Tulalip Reservation, Washington.
In 1921, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from south of Kent in King
County, WA. The human remains were
located under a log or root and removed
by W.A. Steigleder while excavating for
a road. The human remains were
donated to the Burke Museum in 1921
(Burke Accn. #1879). No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is a carved
stone club.
Based on archeological and
geographic information, the human
remains and associated funerary object
have been determined to be Native
American. The stone club is consistent
with other Coast Salish material culture.
The provenience where the human
remains and associated funerary object
were found is within the aboriginal
territory of the Muckleshoot Indian
Tribe of the Muckleshoot Reservation,
Washington. Ancestors of the
Muckleshoot traditionally occupied the
Green River and White River Basin
Valleys. Kent is located along the Green
River area. The Skopamish Band
inhabited the upper Green River area.
The Skopamish and other Native
Americans from the Green River and
White River Basin Valleys were
assigned to move to the Nisqually
Reservation as per the terms of the
Medicine Creek Treaty of December 26,
1854; however, Governor Isaac Stevens
recommended the Muckleshoot
Reservation be established in 1856. In
1857, the Muckleshoot Reservation was
formally approved. The Skopamish and
other Native American groups now
represented by the Muckleshoot Indian
Tribe were also signatories to the Point
Elliot Treaty of January 22, 1855.
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
