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 and associated funerary items
that were in possession of the Museum
of Anthropology at Washington State
University, Pullman, WA. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Asotin 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 Museum of
Anthropology at the Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,

This notice corrects the minimum
number of individuals for a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register (75 FR 41883–41884,
July 19, 2010). After repatriation and
reburial, a re-evaluation of inventory
numbers by a tribal representative
resulted in an increase in the number of
individuals from two to six in one of the
two sites described in the previously
published notice.
Paragraph number 4 is corrected by
substituting the following paragraph:
In June and July of 1951, human
remains representing a minimum of six
individuals were removed from the
Steptoe Burial site (45AS2), in Asotin
County, WA. The burials were removed
as part of an archeological study
performed by the Department of
Anthropology at Washington State
University under the direction of Dr.
Richard Daugherty. No known
individuals were identified. The 57
associated funerary objects are 4
projectile points, 2 scrapers, 1 bone
scraper handle, 1 lot of mussel shells, 1
lot of red ochre, 2 bone awls, 1 lot of
charcoal, 1 pestle, 2 lots of cedar wood
fragments, 3 lots of shell beads, 1 stone
bead necklace, 2 bifaces, 5 lots of bag

Paragraph 10 is replaced with the
following:
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology at the Washington State
University have determined, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the human
remains described above represent the

the Museum of Anthropology at the
Washington State University also have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), that the 59 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the
Museum of Anthropology at the
Washington State University, have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), that there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the Native

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Western
Michigan University, Department of
Anthropology, professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Little River Band of Ottawa Indians,
Michigan; Match-e-be-nash-she-wish
Band of Pottawatomi Indians of
Michigan; and the Pokagon Band of
Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and
Indiana.
• Based on removal from a mound,
Woodland time period of associated
artifacts, and skeletal and dental
morphology, the human remains are
Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• Multiple lines of evidence,
including the Treaty of Washington
(1836), continued occupation, and oral
tradition, indicate that the land from
which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of the Little River Band of Ottawa
Indians, Michigan.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains is to
the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians,
Michigan.
History and Description of the Remains
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Between 1967 and 1968, human
remains representing a minimum of
three individuals were removed from
Section 11, Lilley Township, Sission
Lake Site, Newaygo County, MI, during
excavation by the (now former)
Newaygo County Archaeological
Society. After recovery, the remains and
funerary objects were sent to Western
Michigan University for further analysis
and curation by Dr. Robert Sundick. No
known individuals were identified. The
funerary objects were identified in the
excavators’ original notes and originally
listed in the museum inventory, but are
not currently found in the collection.
Therefore, the associated funerary
objects are missing from the collection.
The remains were recovered from a
mound context. Two of the crania are
adults and the third is from an
adolescent. The skeletal remains are
primarily cranium and longbones,
suggesting the possibility of secondary
internments. The Sission Lake Site is
dated to the Middle to Early Late
Woodland period (circa A.D. 600–800)
based on the typologies of the funerary
objects described in the excavators’
notes.
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains or
any other Indian tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1) should contact LouAnn
Wurst, Department of Anthropology,
Western Michigan University, 1005
Moore Hall, Kalamazoo, MI 49008,
telephone (269) 387–2753, before June
13, 2011. Disposition of the human
remains to the Little River Band of
Ottawa Indians, Michigan, may proceed
after that date if no additional
requestors come forward.
The Western Michigan University,
Department of Anthropology, is
responsible for notifying the Little River
Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan;
Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan; and
the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
Indians, Michigan and Indiana, that this
notice has been published.
the Western Michigan University,
Department of Anthropology,

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).

Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the

items that were in possession of the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University, Pullman, WA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were removed from Asotin 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

Indian Reservation, Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs
Reservation of Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama

in the number of individuals from two to six in one of the two sites
described in the previously published notice.
Paragraph number 4 is corrected by substituting the following
paragraph:
In June and July of 1951, human remains representing a minimum of
six individuals were removed from the Steptoe Burial site (45AS2), in
Asotin County, WA. The burials were removed as part of an archeological
study performed by the Department of Anthropology at Washington State

1 lot of buttons, 6 lots of fabric fragments, 3 lots of nails, 2 lots
of metal fragments, 3 lots of glass beads, 3 lots of modified wood
fragments, and 5 lots of leather fragments.
Paragraph 10 is replaced with the following:
