ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
control of the Department of Natural
Resources, Des Moines, IA, and in the
physical custody of the Office of the
State Archaeologist, Iowa City, IA, that
meet the definition of ‘‘unassociated
funerary objects’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
On an unknown date, an unknown
individual recovered cultural items
from along the Columbia River in the
state of Washington. On an unknown
date, an unknown individual gave these
artifacts to Paul Sagers, Maquoketa, IA.
In 1988, the Sagers Collection was
donated to the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources. In late 2008, the
Sagers Collection was transferred to the
Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist
for curation. The 178 cultural items are
14 small projectile points, 2 rolled metal
beads, 2 flat shell beads, and
approximately 160 small glass beads.
A small glass covered case displaying
artifacts from the state of Washington
was found in the Sagers Collection. In

the case, there was a small hand-written
note that stated the following ‘‘from
Columbia River Village Site Wash. Roy
Pitkin.’’ ‘‘F BAR’’ was written on the
backside of the note. The minimal
information included with these
cultural items suggested they had been
recovered from a village site in
Washington State. Contacts with
officials in Washington determined
there are sites along the Columbia River
known as Fountain Bar or Franklin Bar,
and the cultural items may have come
from one of those sites. No information
on Roy Pitkin could be found.
Consultation and information sharing
occurred with the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington;
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; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Based on the type and style of artifacts,
the tribes believe the items may have
come from a burial context. They
consider the objects as typical of the
type of funerary objects recovered from
burials located along the Columbia
River. The tribes have been involved in
several joint repatriations that have
included similar objects. Although
museum records do not state that the
objects were removed from a burial
context, based on consultation, museum
records on geographical location, and
the similarity of the objects to other
funerary objects, the officials of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources and
Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist
reasonably believe that the 178 cultural
items are unassociated funerary objects.
Officials of the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources and the Iowa Office
of the State Archaeologist have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 178 cultural items
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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
Officials of the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources and the Iowa Office
of the State Archaeologist 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
unassociated funerary objects and the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian

Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Shirley
Schermer, Director, Burials Program,
Office of the State Archaeologist, 700
Clinton St. Building, University of Iowa,
Iowa City, IA 52242, telephone (319)
384–0740, before October 15, 2009.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources and the Iowa Office of the

Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm

with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the

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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Mission Indians of the
Santa Ynez Reservation, California.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the
Burton Mound, Santa Barbara County,
CA, by an unknown individual. In 1924,
the human remains were acquired by
Frederick Hodge, and he donated the
human remains to the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation that
same year. In 1956, the human remains
were transferred to Dr. Theodore
Kazamiroff, New York University
College of Dentistry. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
Museum of the American Indian
records list the locality of origin as the
Burton Mound, Santa Barbara, CA. The
morphology of the human remains is
consistent with Native American
ancestry. Burton Mound was located at
the Chumash village of Syujtun at the
time of Spanish contact, in 1542. The
inhabitants of the village were identified
as Barbareno Chumash. Use of the
mound stopped in the early 19th
century and the Spanish settled in the
area. Artifacts found in the mound
suggest that it dates to the Prehistoric
and Protohistoric phases of the Late
Horizon.
In 1919, human remains representing
a minimum of 71 individuals were
removed from San Miguel Island, Santa
Barbara County, CA, by Ralph Glidden,
as part of a Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation expedition. In
1956, the human remains were
transferred to Dr. Theodore Kazamiroff,
New York University College of
Dentistry. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.

occupation history with strong evidence
for group continuity over millennia. The
island was vacated by the 19th century,
as the remaining residents were
relocated to Spanish missions on the
mainland. The inhabitants of the island
were identified as Island Chumash
speakers.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Santa
Cruz Island, Santa Barbara County, CA,
during the DeMoss Bowers expedition.
In 1915, the human remains were
donated to the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation. In 1956, the
human remains were transferred to Dr.
Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No

by an unknown individual. The human
remains were in the collection of Louis
Dreyfus when it was purchased by the
Museum of the American Indian, Heye

Santa Barbara, San Miguel Island, and
Santa Cruz Island are part of the
traditional territory of the Chumash.
Tribal representatives identify the
Northern Channel Islands and the
mainland along the Santa Barbara
Channel, as the traditional territory of
the Chumash tribes. On the mainland,
archeological data from the early
historic sites shows strong continuity
with Protohistoric and Late Horizon
material. On the islands, there is
archeological evidence of continuous
occupation by the same group of people
for at least 4,000 years.
The first historic records of the
Chumash villages in the Santa Barbara
area date to 1542. By 1805, the Chumash
remaining in the area were relocated
onto five missions in the vicinity of
Santa Barbara and Ventura, on the
mainland of California. The missions
were secularized and largely abandoned
by the Chumash in 1832. In 1855, the
Santa Ynez Reservation was created for
the Chumash, and the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash was recognized in 1901.
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 82
individuals 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
