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 and control of the
University of Wyoming, Anthropology
Department, Human Remains
Repository, Laramie, WY. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from the area of The
Dalles in Oregon.
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 University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon, and in conjunction with the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon, and
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington.
In the 1930s, human remains
representing a minimum of 18
individuals were removed from near
The Dalles in Oregon, by two private
citizens of the area after the burial
locations had been disturbed by earth
moving activities associated with
highway construction. No known
individuals have been identified. The 22
associated funerary objects are 1 lot of
brass, iron wire and nail fragments; 2
rolled copper/brass tinklers or tube
beads; 1 lot of small fragments of
window glass; 1 shell bead; 1 bird bone

whistle; 3 fragments of worked animal
bone; 5 small pieces of wood; 5 pieces
of unmodified animal bone; 1 lot of
small fragments of lead sheeting; 1
distal phalanx of a large bird (probably
an eagle); and 1 lot of small glass trade
beads in a variety of colors.
Verdigris staining on some of the
human remains indicates contact with
copper or brass. Some of the funerary
objects are from the historic era and
suggest a burial in the mid to late–
1800s. It is not known if all the objects
described above are associated funerary
objects or were inadvertently
incorporated into the collection during
storage. However, the University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository are treating
all objects that were found stored with
the Native American human remains as
associated funerary objects.
The University of Wyoming,
Anthropology Department, Human
Remains Repository determined that the
human remains are Native American
based on the presence of platymeric
femoral morphology, toothwear
patterns, the presence of shovel shaped
incisors, interorbital observations and
cranial deformation patterns, as well as
the statements regarding recovery
context made by one of the original
collectors. Tribal evidence presented for
cultural affiliation is based on review of
records afforded to the tribes, historic
documented locations of tribal groups
and oral histories of their occupation of
the general area, and review of the
information from the Human Remains
Repository. Based on this information,
the cultural affiliation is to the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon; and
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington.
Officials of the University of
Wyoming, Anthropology Department,
Human Remains Repository have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of 18 individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials also have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(A), the 22 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 a death rite or ceremony.
Lastly, officials of the University of

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
