Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Washington, Department of
Anthropology and Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Lummi Tribe of
the Lummi Reservation, Washington;
Samish Indian Tribe, Washington; and
the Swinomish Indians of the
Swinomish Reservation, Washington
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1976, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from Huckleberry Island,
Skagit County, WA. This individual was
determined to be consistent with Native
American morphology, based on cranial
deformation and wormian bone
evidence. No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
is a bird bone.
This individual and associated
funerary object were identified while
preparing the transfer of other human
remains that were described in
published Notices of Inventory
Completion (75 FR 14463, March 25,
2010; 76 FR 9051–9052, February 16,
2011). Those individuals have been
repatriated.
Huckleberry Island is a small island
located approximately 1⁄4 mile southeast
of Guemes Island, in Skagit County,
WA. This area falls within the Central
Coast Salish cultural group (Suttles
1990). Historical documentation
indicates that the aboriginal Samish
people traditionally occupied Guemes
Island (Amoss 1978, Roberts 1975, Ruby
and Brown 1986, Smith 1941, Suttles
1951, Swanton 1952) and Huckleberry
Island (Barg 2008, unpublished report)
both before and after European contact.
The Treaty of Point Elliot, in 1855,
stated that the Samish were to be
relocated to the Lummi Reservation.
Following the Treaty of Point Elliot,
many Samish individuals relocated to
either the Lummi Reservation or the
Swinomish Reservation (Ruby and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Brown 1986:179). Many Samish,
however, also chose to remain in their
old village sites. In 1996, the Samish
Indian Tribe was re-recognized by the
Federal Government.

History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, a human
remain—a single human distal phalanx
or thumb tip—representing a minimum
of one individual was removed from an
unknown location in Arkansas. The
bone is perforated at the proximal end
and was acquired by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology between 1948
and 1979, and accessioned as part of the
Howe Collection (Catalog number
A234). The bone was subsequently
assigned Index number 326 in the
Colgate Collection database. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The presence of other Native
American artifacts in the Howe
Collection at the Longyear Museum of
Anthropology provides a reasonable
basis for determining that the human
remain belongs to a Native American
individual.
