prior to land acquisition by the Army
Corps of Engineers. The burials were
delivered to Washington State
University following removal. At an
unknown time, the human remains were
transferred to the University of Idaho
where a pre-NAGPRA program of
repatriation was ongoing. In 2000, the
University of Idaho transferred the
collection to Washington State
University. In 2006, the human remains
were inventoried and Burials 1, 3, 4, 5,
and 6 were found in the collection. No
known individuals were identified. The
seven associated funerary objects are
one counted object and six lots of
objects, which are one pestle, one lot of
animal remains, one lot of basketry
fragments, and four lots of wood
fragments.
The individuals are determined to be
Native American based on dental
characteristics, significant tooth wear,
and archeological burial patterns which
are age diagnostic attributes of the late
prehistoric period on the southern
Columbia Plateau. Site 45WT55 is
adjacent to judicially established Nez
Perce Indian land and within the
overlapping 19th century territories of
the Palus and Nez Perce people.
In 1971, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Lawyer Burial Site,
45WT101, Whitman County, WA. This
individual is 1 of 33 burials removed by
the University of Idaho while under
contract to the Army Corps of Engineers
as part of the Nez Perce Grave Removal
Project. The 45WT101 burials were
reported as reburied at Spalding, ID, in
1978. In 1998 and 2000, the University
of Idaho transferred the 45WT101
collection to Washington State
University. In 2001, Washington State
University encountered human remains
associated with Burial 21 during a
collections assessment inventory. The
individual was previously determined
to be Nez Perce as part of the Nez Perce
Grave Removal Project. No known
individual was identified. The two
associated funerary objects are projectile
points.
In 1973, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from the Wilma Bar Culvert
Burial Site, 45WT103, Whitman County,
WA. This individual is one of nine
burials removed by the University of
Idaho while under contract to the Army
Corps of Engineers as part of the Nez
Perce Grave Removal Project. Following
removal, the burials were delivered to
the University of Idaho. The 45WT103
burials were reported as reburied at
Spalding, ID, in 1978. The collection
was transferred to Washington State
University at an unknown date. In 2003,

encountered partial human remains
from Burial 7 during a collections
inventory. The individual was
previously determined to be Nez Perce
during initiation and completion of the
Nez Perce Grave Removal Project. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Evidence supports cultural affiliation
of the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Indian Reservation of
Oregon, Confederated Tribes and Bands
of the Yakama Nation, and the Nez
Perce Tribe with the above-mentioned
sites and collections. Additionally, a
cultural relationship is determined to
exist between the sites and collections
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group. Other relevant
information provided by Indian tribes
and the Wanapum Band indicates they
are direct descendant communities from
the Native people that jointly used the
areas, are intermarried, have enrolled
members with documented connections
to ancestors buried along the Snake
River, and are all part of the more
broadly defined Plateau cultural
community.
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Defense, Army Corps of Engineers,
Walla Walla District, have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 39
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the U.S.
Department of Defense, Army Corps of
Engineers, Walla Walla District, also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 642 objects
described above, which are 123 counted
objects and 519 lots of objects, 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. Further,
officials of the U.S. Department of
Defense, Army Corps of Engineers,
Walla Walla District, 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 associated funerary objects
and the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and the
Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho. Lastly, officials
of the U.S. Department of Defense,

Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla
District, have determined that there is a
cultural relationship between the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact LTC Michael Farrell, U.S.
Department of Defense, Army Corps of
Engineers, Walla Walla District, 201
North Third Ave., Walla Walla, WA
99362, telephone (509) 527–7700, before
July 26, 2010. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation of Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington; and the
Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho, may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward. The U.S. Department of
Defense, Army Corps of Engineers,
Walla Walla District, acknowledges the
participation of the Wanapum Band, a
non-federally recognized Indian group,
in the transfer of the human remains
and associated funerary objects to the
Indian tribes.
The U.S. Department of Defense,
Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla
District, is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation of Oregon; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and the Wanapum Band, a non-federally
