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
Period. The archeological assemblages
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
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of

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 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.
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 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.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native

American ancestry. Officials of the
Burke Museum also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A),
the one object described above is
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 Burke Museum 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 object and the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally

minimum of two individuals were
removed from an unknown location area
near Tumacacori Mission in Santa Cruz
County, AZ. No known individuals
were identified. The 38 associated
funerary objects are 33 plainware
pottery sherds from a cremation/burial
jar, 2 bags of sherds from a cremation
jar, 1 unworked burnt shell, 1 piece of
worked faunal bone, and 1 pendant.
In 1955, human remains representing
a minimum of nine individuals were
removed from fields just outside park
boundaries in Santa Cruz County, AZ.
The remains and associated funerary
objects were donated to the park by J.L.
Kalb, a local rancher in whose fields the
remains and objects were found. No
known individuals were identified. The
43 associated funerary objects are 4
cremation/burial jars, 1 cremation/
burial bowl, 11 pieces of burnt
unworked bone, 9 unworked ceramic
sherds, 2 worked ceramic sherds, 12
beads, 1 shell bracelet fragment, 1 piece
of worked faunal bone, 1 unworked
shell fragment, and 1 awl.
The Native American human remains
described above are all cremations with
associated pottery vessels and artifacts
that are characteristic of the culture
group commonly known to
archeologists as the Hohokam and date
between A.D. 300 and A.D. 1300. The
term ‘‘Hohokam’’ is used here for
convenience due to its common use as
a descriptor of this culture; it is
unknown what name these people
applied to themselves, and their
present-day descendants do not use this
term. The ‘‘Hohokam’’ were a sedentary
agricultural group that developed out of
the local Archaic population. Their
settlement pattern was predominantly of
the rancheria type, with pithouse or
house-in-pit architecture. Pit or urn
cremations were the predominant burial
practice prior to A.D. 1100. Extended
supine inhumations then became more
prevalent, completely replacing
cremations by A.D. 1300. There was a
pronounced, though far from complete,
decline in population after about A.D.
1350.
The Ak Chin Indian Community of
the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Reservation,
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community
of the Gila River Indian Reservation,
Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community of the Salt River
Reservation; and the Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona comprise one cultural
group known as the O’odham. The Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Reservation,
Arizona consists primarily of Akimel
and Tohono O’odham, with a few
