DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: Northwest Museum of Arts &
Culture, Spokane, WA
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the Northwest Museum of
Arts & Culture, aka Eastern Washington
State Historical Society, Spokane, WA,
that meet the definition of unassociated
funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The funerary objects described below
were excavated by Donald Collier,
Alfred E. Hudson and Arlo Ford due to
the construction of the Grand Coulee
Dam and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt)
whose waters would soon cover the
area. This undertaking was known as
‘‘The Columbian Basin Archaeological
Survey’’ or the ‘‘Collier, Hudson, and
Ford Project.’’ It was a multiinstitutional venture involving the
Eastern Washington State Historical
Society (now Northwest Museum of
Arts & Culture), University of
Washington, and the State College of
Washington (now Washington State
University). It was also a multi-agency
venture involving the Bureau of
Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Civilian Conservation Corps, and the
Works Project Administration
(including the National Youth
Administration). In 1940, the Eastern
Washington State Historical Society
became the repository for the collection,
as mandated by the Bureau of
Reclamation. Portions of the land from
which the funerary objects derive were
non-Federal lands, and other portions
were Federal lands at the time of
removal. Moreover, the Federal lands
fell under the management authority of
several different agencies.
Consequently, there has been a question
of control over the collection. After
several years of research, the Northwest
Museum of Arts & Culture has been
unable to determine additional specifics
regarding the control of each site.
Therefore, absent additional
information, the Northwest Museum of
Arts & Culture is assuming
responsibility under NAGPRA with
regard to publishing this Notice and
repatriating the unassociated funerary
objects to the culturally affiliated tribe.
During the period July 1939 September 1940, funerary objects were
systematically removed from Site 2 (45–
LI–27), Lincoln County, WA, by Donald
Collier, Alfred E. Hudson and Arlo Ford
due to the construction of the Grand
Coulee Dam and its reservoir (Lake
Roosevelt), and they were accessioned
by the museum in 1940 (EWSHS
Accession ι1027). The three
unassociated funerary objects are one
abalone pendant and two projectile
points.
During the period July 1939 September 1940, funerary objects were
systematically removed from Site 7A
(45–FE–7), Ferry County, WA, by
Collier, Hudson and Ford due to the
construction of the Grand Coulee Dam
and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt), and
they were accessioned by the museum
in 1940 (EWSHS Accession #1027). The
42 unassociated funerary objects are 7
beaver tooth dice, 1 bone awl pendant,
27 dentalia beads, 4 copper pendants, 1
copper bracelet, 1 projectile point and 1
bone awl.
During the period July 1939 September 1940, funerary objects were
systematically removed from Site 24
(45–FE–24), Ferry County, WA, by
Collier, Hudson and Ford due to the
construction of the Grand Coulee Dam
and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt), and
they were accessioned by the museum
in 1940 (EWSHS Accession #1027). The
92 unassociated funerary objects are 7
wooden burial markers , 1 dentalia
fragment, 5 glass beads, 9 perforated
bear claws, 1 carved beaver tooth, 3
copper bells, 1 lot of burial fill, 22
dentalia beads, 2 buckskin or leather

fragments, 2 antler digging sticks, 1
abalone shell pendant, 2 scrapers, 2
bone awls, 1 piece of matting, 1 flake,
2 dentalia necklace fragments, 1 small
box of dentalia beads, 1 bone needle, 1
copper pendant, 18 rolled copper beads,
6 dentalium, 1 piece of cordage, 1 long
jadeite celt and 1 chipped flint
fragment.
During the period July 1939 September 1940, funerary objects were
systematically removed from Site 46
(45–Stevens–46), Stevens County, WA,
by Collier, Hudson and Ford due to the
construction of the Grand Coulee Dam
and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt), and
they were accessioned by the museum
in 1940 (EWSHS Accession #1027). The
78 unassociated funerary objects are 6
pieces worked bone, 1 jadeite chip, 1
jadeite celt, 44 bone implements, 3
stone pipes, 3 projectile points, 3 schist
scrapers, 1 mussel shell, 1 antler wedge,
1 slate needle, 1 slate pendant, 1 pipe
fragment, 1 bone awl, 1 slate object, 1
lot of turgite paint material, 1 arrow
shaft smoother, 2 hematite pieces, 3
knives, 1 spear point, 1 antler and 1
antler horn implement.
During the period July 1939 September 1940, funerary objects were
systematically removed from Site 47
(45–ST–47), Stevens County, WA, by
Collier, Hudson and Ford due to the
construction of the Grand Coulee Dam
and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt), and
they were accessioned by the museum
in 1940 (EWSHS Accession #1027). The
64 unassociated funerary objects are 1
copper bracelet, 7 projectile points, 6
bone combs, 1 bone implement, 1 bone
spearpoint, 2 bone whistles, 27 bone
awls, 2 copper and shell pendants, 1
spear point, 1 carved stone pipe, 1
jadeite celt, 1 jadeite adze, 2 bone
ornaments (possible combs), 1 bone
flute fragment, 1 coiled basket, 1
turquoise pendant, 1 dentalia, 2 abalone
pendants, 3 glass beads and 1 arrow
shaft smoother.
The unassociated funerary objects
described above are consistent with
cultural items typically found in context
with Native American burials in eastern
Washington State. Furthermore,
accession numbers, as well as field
notes and journal entries, indicate that
the cultural items were found in
connection with human remains.
Extensive museum documentation, the
geographic locations of the sites, burial
patterns, and consultation from the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Indian Reservation, Washington, verify
that the cultural items were removed
from sites that are within the aboriginal
territory of the bands of Indians that
now make up the Confederated Tribes of

the Colville Indian Reservation,
Washington.
Officials of the Northwest Museum of
Arts & Culture have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the
279 cultural items described above 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 and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual. Officials of the Northwest
Museum of Arts & Culture 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 unassociated
funerary objects and the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Indian
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believe themselves to be
culturally affiliated with the
unassociated funerary objects should
contact Mr. Michael Holloman,
Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture,
Spokane, WA 99201, telephone (509)
363–5337, before October 25, 2010.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Indian
Reservation, Washington, may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Northwest Museum of Arts &
Culture is responsible for notifying The
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Indian Reservation, Washington, that
this notice has been published.

In 1902, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
collected by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka from a
cave in the vicinity of Sacaton, Pinal
County, AZ, while Dr. Hrdlicka was a
member of the Hyde Expedition,
sponsored by the American Museum of
Natural History. No
known individual was identified.
This individual has been identified as
Native American based on the American
Museum of Natural History’s catalog
entry describing the remains as a ‘‘Pima
... medicine man.’’ The two associated
funerary objects were a pair of metal
spurs.
In 2006, the human remains and the
metal spurs were repatriated to the Gila
River Indian Community. Subsequently,
the American Museum of Natural
History discovered among its collections
additional funerary objects associated
with this repatriated individual, but not
previously reported. Therefore, these
additional funerary objects are now
considered to be unassociated. The 32
unassociated funerary objects are
elements of 1 percussion musket (a
barrel and trigger and a percussion
lock); 1 leather bullet pouch and its
contents (12 metal ball bullets, 3 spent
percussion caps, 1 shell casing, 3 glass
marbles, 1 piece of cloth and 1 lot of
paper scraps); 1 metal flask; 1 teacup; 1
saucer; 1 pressed metal spoon; 2 blue
glass beads; 2 claws and 1 piece of sewn
rawhide.
The metal flask is painted green and
has a knotted cloth plug. The tea cup
and saucer are white glazed ceramic.
The two beads are made of blue glass.
The two claws are from a jaguar. The
rawhide piece is sewn with a rawhide
thong.
The geographic location is consistent
with the post-contact territory of the
Pima, who are represented by the Ak
Chin Indian Community of the
Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation,
Arizona; the Gila River Indian
Community of the Gila River Indian
Reservation, Arizona; and the Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of
the Salt River Reservation, Arizona. The
presence of items such as metal spurs,
a rifle and white ceramic teacup suggest
a post-contact date for this burial.
Officials of the American Museum of
Natural History have determined that,

to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the Northwest Museum
of Arts & Culture, aka Eastern Washington State Historical Society,
Spokane, WA, that meet the definition of unassociated funerary objects
under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's

determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the

The funerary objects described below were excavated by Donald
Collier, Alfred E. Hudson and Arlo Ford due to the construction of the
Grand Coulee Dam and its reservoir (Lake Roosevelt) whose waters would
soon cover the area. This undertaking was known as ``The Columbian
Basin Archaeological Survey'' or the ``Collier, Hudson, and Ford

Washington State Historical Society (now Northwest Museum of Arts &
Culture), University of Washington, and the State College of Washington
(now Washington State University). It was also a multi-agency venture
involving the Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Civilian
Conservation Corps, and the Works Project Administration (including the
National Youth Administration). In 1940, the Eastern Washington State
Historical Society became the repository for the collection, as
mandated by the Bureau of Reclamation. Portions of the land from which
the funerary objects derive were non-Federal lands, and other portions
were Federal lands at the time of removal. Moreover, the Federal lands
fell under the management authority of several different agencies.
Consequently, there has been a question of control over the collection.
After several years of research, the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture
has been unable to determine additional specifics regarding the control
of each site. Therefore, absent additional information, the Northwest
Museum of Arts & Culture is assuming responsibility under NAGPRA with
regard to publishing this Notice and repatriating the unassociated
funerary objects to the culturally affiliated tribe.
During the period July 1939 - September 1940, funerary objects were
