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 possession of the Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum (Burke Museum), University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains were removed from the vicinity
of Salem, Marion County, OR.

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 the Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon and the
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon.
At an unknown date prior to 1930,
human remains representing a
minimum of one individual were
removed from the vicinity of Salem, in
Marion County, OR. These human
remains were acquired by the Burke
Museum through an exchange in 1930
(Burke Museum Accn. #2391). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are determined to
be consistent with Native American
morphology, as evidenced through
cranial deformation and presence of
wormian bones. Information available in
the original accession files helped affirm
the determination.
Historical documentation indicates
that the Willamette Valley area
surrounding Salem, OR, was occupied
by the Kalapuyan speaking people
(Ruby and Brown 1986, Swanton 1952,
and Zenk 1990). The Northern
subdivision, the Yamhill, and the
Central subdivision, the Sanitiam, were
the primary aboriginal occupants in the
vicinity of Salem. By the terms of the
Kalapuya Treaty of 1855, the Kalapuyan
people were moved to the Grand Ronde
Reservation (Ruby and Brown 1986).
Descendents of the Kalapuyan speaking
people are now represented by the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon.
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon include at
least 26 tribes and bands whose
ancestral homelands span across
western Oregon, southwestern
Washington, and northern California.
The Grand Ronde tribes and bands
include the Rogue River, Umpqua,
Chasta, Kalapuya, Molala, Clackamas,
Salmon River, Tillamook, and Nestucca,
as well as many other groups. At the
time of contact, the various tribal groups
spoke approximately 30 dialects of the
Athabascan, Chinookan, Kalapuyan,
Takelman, Molalan, Sahaptin, Salishan,
and Shastan language families. In 1855,
the U.S. Government forcibly relocated
the Grand Ronde peoples to the Grand
Ronde Reservation at the headwaters of

the South Yamhill River in Yamhill and
Polk Counties, OR.
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of
one individual of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Burke Museum
also 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 the
Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke
Museum, University of Washington, Box
353010, Seattle, WA 98195, telephone
(206) 685–3849, before September 23,
2010. Repatriation of the human
remains to the Confederated Tribes of
the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon
may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying the Confederated Tribes of the
Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and
the Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon that this
notice has been published.
