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
possession of the Thomas Burke
Memorial Washington State Museum
(Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA, 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.
In 1965, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from south of the International
District in Seattle, King County, WA.
The human remains were transferred
from the King County Coroner’s Office
to the Burke Museum in 1965 (Burke
Accn. #1966–77). All human remains
are now missing. No known individual
was identified. The six unassociated
funerary objects are one infant bracelet,
two metal spoons, one brass button, one
woman’s shoe, and one glass ketchup
bottle.
Before 1955, unassociated funerary
objects were found between Bellevue
and Renton in King County, WA. The
objects were found during road
construction and collected by Mrs.
Willa W. Mylroie. The objects were
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
donated to the Burke Museum in 1955
(Burke Accn. #3979). No known human
remains are associated with the objects.
The 124 unassociated funerary objects
are 12 copper bracelets, 1 decorative
brass clip, 4 glass beads, 15 brass
buttons, 1 brass thimble, 1 can of
vermillion, 89 trade beads, and 1
blanket fragment.
In 1892, an unassociated funerary
object was removed from Bryn Mawr,
King County, WA. The funerary object
was collected by Frank E. Fuller and
donated to the Burke Museum by the
Washington World’s Fair Commission
in 1893 (Burke Accn. #1119). No known
human remains are associated with the
object. The one unassociated funerary
object is a metal knife with incised bone
handle.
The funerary objects were removed
from the area surrounding Lake
Washington primarily on the southern
end. This area falls within the Southern
Lushootseed language group of Salish
cultures. The Duwamish people
primarily occupied this area,
specifically the Lake people (Swanton
1952:423). In the 1870s, as the City of
Seattle developed, the Lake people were
pushed out to other areas, including the
Muckleshoot, Suquamish, and Tulalip
reservations. The Lake people also
joined the Snoqualmie people on Lake
Sammamish and in the Snoqualmie
River drainage (Miller and Blukis Onat
2004:109). Descendants of the Lake
people are members of the present-day
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington;
Snoqualmie Tribe, Washington;
Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port
Madison Reservation, Washington; and
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington.
In 1923, unassociated funerary objects
were found near Kirkland, King County,
WA. The objects were found under the
roots of a tree and sent by Mrs. Loyal C.
Wright to Professor Meany of the
University of Washington. Prof. Meany
subsequently transferred the objects to
the Burke Museum in 1923 (Burke
Accn. ι2022). No known human remains
are associated with the objects. The six
unassociated funerary objects are four
glass beads, one copper bracelet, and
one brass button.
The above-mentioned funerary objects
were removed from the northeastern
shores of Lake Washington south of the
mouth of the Sammamish River. This
area falls within the Southern
Lushootseed language group of Salish
cultures. The Sammamish people
primarily occupied this area (Ruby and
Brown 1986, Suttles and Lane 1990,
Swanton 1952). The Sammamish people
were closely related to the Duwamish

people and other tribes in the area. As
per the terms of the 1855 Point Elliot
Treaty, the Sammamish were assigned
to go to the Tulalip Reservation. Many
Sammamish people chose not to
relocate to the Tulalip Reservation. The
Sammamish people are represented by
the present-day Muckleshoot Indian
Tribe of the Muckleshoot Reservation,
Washington; Snoqualmie Tribe,
Washington; Suquamish Indian Tribe of
the Port Madison Reservation,
Washington; and Tulalip Tribes of the
Tulalip Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 137 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 an Native American individual.
Officials of the Burke Museum 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
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington;
Snoqualmie Tribe, Washington;
Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port
Madison Reservation, Washington; and
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Dr. Peter Lape,
Burke Museum, University of
Washington, Box 353010, Seattle, WA
98195–3010, telephone (206) 685–3849,
before February 4, 2010. Repatriation of
the unassociated funerary objects to the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington;
Snoqualmie Tribe, Washington;
Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port
Madison Reservation, Washington; and
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
of the Muckleshoot Reservation,
Washington; Snoqualmie Tribe,
Washington; Suquamish Indian Tribe of
the Port Madison Reservation,
Washington; and Tulalip Tribes of the
Tulalip Reservation, Washington that
this notice has been published.

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 of the Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL.
The human remains were removed from
the Channel Islands in Santa Barbara
and Los Angeles Counties, 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 Field Museum of
Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission
Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California.
On an unknown date, human remains
were removed from San Miguel Island,
Santa Barbara County, CA. In 1893,
human remains representing a
minimum of six individuals from that
removal were purchased by the Field
Museum of Natural History from Ward’s
Natural Science Establishment of
Rochester, NY (Field Museum of
Natural History catalog numbers 42700–
42703, accession number 407). The
human remains were accessioned into
the Field Museum of Natural History the
same year. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
On an unknown date, human remains
were removed from San Miguel Island,
Santa Barbara County, CA. In 1894, the
Field Museum of Natural History
purchased human remains representing
a minimum of one individual from that
removal from Franz Boas (Field
Museum of Natural History catalog
number 42704, accession number 68).

The human remains were accessioned
into the Field Museum of Natural
History the same year. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1897, human remains were
removed from San Nicolas Island, Santa
Barbara County, CA, by A.B. Chappell.
Later that year, the Field Museum of
Natural History purchased human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual from that removal from A.B.
Chappell (Field Museum of Natural
History catalog number 42705,
accession number 522). The human
remains were accessioned into the Field
Museum of Natural History the same
year. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1904, F.H. Sellers donated human
remains representing a minimum
number of two individuals to the Field
Museum of Natural History (Field
Museum of Natural History catalog
numbers 42715 and 42716, accession
number 867). The human remains were
accessioned into the Field Museum of
Natural History the same year. Field
Museum records indicate the locality of
removal as ‘‘Probably Channel Isl.,
California.’’ No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1932, the Field Museum of Natural
History received human remains
representing a minimum number of one
individual as part of an exchange with
Byron Knoblock (Field Museum of
Natural History catalog number 42860,
accession 1964). Field Museum records
indicate that the human remains came
from Santa Catalina Island, Los Angeles
County, CA. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date, the Field
Museum of Natural History acquired
human remains representing a
minimum of three individuals from
Santa Catalina Island, Los Angeles
County, CA, from an unknown source
(Field Museum of Natural History
catalog number 42706, accession 3910).
In 1995, the human remains were
located in the collections of the Field
Museum of Natural History and were
accessioned the same year. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains have been
identified as Native American, based on
craniometric analysis and the specific
cultural and geographic attribution in
Field Museum of Natural History
records. Archeological investigations
have identified a cultural continuity for
the Chumash Indians that traces their
presence on the northern Channel

Islands back 7,000 to 9,000 years.
Geographical, archeological, and oral
history evidence indicate a shared group
identity between these human remains
from San Miguel, San Nicolas, and
Santa Catalina Islands and the Santa
Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians
of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California, the present-day tribe most
closely associated with the prehistoric
and historic Chumash Indians.
Officials of the Field Museum of
Natural History have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above are
reasonably believed to be the physical
remains of 14 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the Field
Museum of Natural History 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 Santa
Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians
of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Helen Robbins,
Repatriation Director, Field Museum of
Natural History, 1400 S. Lake Shore
Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, telephone
(312) 665–7317, before February 4,
2010. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
The Field Museum of Natural History
is responsible for notifying the Santa
