AGENCY:
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
University of Washington, Department
of Anthropology, Seattle, WA. The
human remains were removed from
Huckleberry Island, Skagit 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 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 the University of
Washington, Department of
Anthropology and Burke Museum staff
in consultation with representatives of
the Samish Indian Tribe, Washington.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from
Huckleberry Island, Skagit County, WA.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains were determined
to be consistent with Native American
morphology, as evidenced through
cranial deformation and presence of
wormian bones.
Huckleberry Island is a small island
located approximately 1/4 mile
southeast of Guemes Island, in Skagit
County, WA. This area falls within the
Central Coast Salish cultural group
(Suttles 1990). Historical documentation
indicates that the Samish people
traditionally occupied Guemes Island
(Amoss 1978, Roberts 1975, Ruby and
Brown 1986, Smith 1941, Suttles 1951,
Swanton 1952) and Huckleberry Island
(Barg 2008, unpublished report) both
before and after contact. Today, the
Samish people are represented by the
Samish Indian Nation, Washington.
Officials of the University of
Washington, Department of
Anthropology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of the University of
Washington, Department of
Anthropology 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 Samish Indian Tribe,
Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Bettina ShellDuncan, University of Washington,
Department of Anthropology, Box
353100, Seattle, WA 98195, telephone
(206) 543–9607, before April 26, 2010.
