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 an associated funerary
object in the possession of the
University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History/Oregon
State Museum of Anthropology, Eugene,
OR. The human remains and associated
funerary object were removed from the
Columbia River area.
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 the University of
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural
History/Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;

Yakama Nation, Washington; Kalispel
Indian Community of the Kalispel
Reservation, Washington; Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho; Shoalwater Bay Tribe of
the Shoalwater Bay Indian Reservation,
Washington; and Spokane Tribe of the
Spokane Reservation, Washington.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of four
individuals were removed from the
Columbia River area. In 1941, the
human remains were donated to the
museum by a private party. No known
individuals were identified. The one
associated funerary object is a strand of
cordage.
Skeletal evidence from two
individuals indicates they are Native
American. The remaining human
remains are too fragmentary for
identification, but are reasonably
believed to be Native American based
upon their association with the other
individuals. Museum documentation is
limited, and records only the general
provenience, ‘‘Columbia River area.’’
Given the origin of most human remains
curated by the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural
History/Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology, it is likely that these are
from the Columbia River in or near the
state of Oregon, but this cannot be
ascertained.
The Columbia River area has been
occupied by many tribes. The tribes
traveled to gather resources and to trade.
The descendants of the tribes from the
Columbia River area are members of the
Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the

Spokane Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural
History/Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of four
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the University of

officials of the University of Oregon of

of shared group identity that can be

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 control of the Central
Washington University, Department of
Anthropology, Ellensburg, WA, and the
Thomas Burke Memorial Washington
State Museum (Burke Museum),
University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
The human remains were removed from
King County, WA.

agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the

A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Burke Museum
and Central Washington University
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Muckleshoot

the Port Madison Reservation,
Washington; and Tulalip Tribes of the
Tulalip Reservation, Washington.
In 1920, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a Georgetown
neighborhood along the Duwamish
River in Seattle, King County, WA. The
remains were removed by T.H. Vincent
and transferred to the King County
Coroner’s Office. In 1920, the human
remains were subsequently transferred
to the Burke Museum (Burke Accn.
#1800). In 1974, the Burke Museum staff
legally transferred elements associated
with the individual to Central
Washington University (CWU ID AS).
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1924, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from Fauntleroy Park in King
County, WA, by Mr. Hall. The remains
were uncovered by a steam shovel while
widening the road. Mr. Hall transferred
the human remains to the King County
Coroner’s Office. They were
subsequently transferred to the Burke
Museum later that same year (Burke
Accn. #2056). In 1974, the Burke
Museum staff legally transferred
elements associated with the
individuals to Central Washington
University (CWU ID AS). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The above-mentioned human remains
have been determined to be Native
American based on a variety of sources,
including archeological and biological
evidence. The human remains were
determined to be consistent with Native
American morphology as evidenced
either through cranial deformation,
bossing of the cranium, presence of
wormian bones, or shovel shaped
incisors. Information available in the
original accession files helped affirm
these determinations.
The above-mentioned sites fall within
the Southern Lushootseed language
group of Salish cultures. The Duwamish
people primarily occupied this area
(Ruby and Brown 1986:72). As per the
terms of the 1855 Point Elliot Treaty, the
Duwamish were assigned to the
Suquamish Reservation (called Fort
Kitsap at the time). After 1856, due to
violence between whites and Native
Americans, as well as the competition
over available resources, many
Duwamish left the Suquamish
Reservation. The Indian agent
subsequently assigned them to the
Muckleshoot Reservation. The
Duwamish people are represented by

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 and
Central Washington University have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains listed
above represent the physical remains of
three individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Burke Museum
and Central Washington University have
also 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
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 human remains
should contact Lourdes HenebryDeLeon, NAGPRA Program Director,
Department of Anthropology, Central
Washington University, Ellensburg, WA
98926–7544, telephone (509) 963–2671

University of Washington, Box 353010,
Seattle, WA 98195–3010, telephone
(206) 685–3849, before April 26, 2010.
Repatriation of the human remains to
the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe of the
Muckleshoot Reservation, Washington;

Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port
Madison Reservation, Washington; and
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
