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 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.
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 Burke Museum
and Central Washington University
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Muckleshoot
Indian Tribe of the Muckleshoot
Reservation, Washington; Puyallup
Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation,

of Washington; Snoqualmie Tribe,
Washington; Suquamish Indian Tribe of
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

the following present-day tribes: 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.
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
or Dr. Peter Lape, Burke Museum,
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;
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; 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 that
this notice has been published.
