consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
In 1961, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from sites 45GR111 and
45GR121, Grant County, WA. The
burials were excavated from three cairn
marked talus burials in the Lower Grand
Coulee/Sun Lakes region. The work was
done in conjunction with an
archeological survey of the region
directed by Richard Daugherty of
Washington State University. No known
individuals were identified. The 22
associated funerary objects are 3 lots of
basketry fragments, 2 lots of mammal
remains, 2 lots of wood fragments, 2 lots
of snail shells, 1 lot of bark fragments,
8 lots of bag residue, 2 lots of shell
beads, 1 digging stick handle, and 1
stone scraper.
The manner of internment and the
character of the associated funerary
objects are distinctive for Native
American burials of the late prehistoric
through historic periods on the
Columbia Plateau. The site is within the
judicially established aboriginal
territory of the Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Tribal oral tradition and anthropological
and historical research indicate the sites
are within an area occupied by the
Moses Columbia, who are legally
represented by the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington.
Officials of the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University have determined, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the human
remains described above represent the
physical remains of three individuals of
Native American ancestry. Officials of
the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University also have
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(3)(A), that the 22 objects (20 lots
and 2 individual 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
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
American human remains and
associated funerary objects and the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Mary Collins, Museum of
