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.

Determinations Made by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology
Officials of the Longyear Museum of
Anthropology have determined that:

relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remain and

Indian Claims Commission, the land
from which the Native American human
remain was removed is the aboriginal
land of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma;
Osage Nation, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe
of Indians, Oklahoma; and United
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in
Oklahoma.
• Other credible lines of evidence
indicate that the land from which the
Native American human remain was
removed is the aboriginal land of the
Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; Osage
Nation, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe of
Indians, Oklahoma; United Keetoowah
Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma;
and Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of
Louisiana.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remain described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remain is to
the Osage Nation, Oklahoma, and the
Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remain or any
other Indian tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR

Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of a human remain in the possession of
the Slater Museum of Natural History,

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remain was made by the Slater Museum
of Natural History, University of Puget
Sound professional staff in consultation
with representatives of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Chehalis Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; Cowlitz Indian Tribe,
Washington; Kalispel Indian
Community of the Kalispel Reservation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
Shoalwater Bay Tribe of the Shoalwater
Bay Indian Reservation, Washington;
and the Spokane Tribe of the Spokane
Reservation, Washington (hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). The Slater
Museum of Natural History, University
of Puget Sound also consulted with the
following non-Federally recognized
Indian groups: the Chinook Tribe and
the Wanapum Band (hereinafter referred
to as ‘‘The Indian Groups’’).
The Slater Museum of Natural
History, University of Puget Sound
received a formal, joint intertribal
NAGPRA claim for the individual
described in this notice from the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; and the Wanapum Band, a

History and Description of the Remains

mandible—representing a minimum of

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
one individual was likely removed from
‘‘Columbia River, Wa.’’. This area of
removal is based on information
supplied by Stanley G. Jewett. Jewett
donated many mammal and bird
collections to the Slater Museum of
Natural History. The mandible was part
of Accession 483, which included all of
the human remains given by Jewett to
the Slater Museum. The mandible was
reviewed by a physical anthropologist
who noted the presence of a broad and
wide ascending ramus and a straight
mandibular border. These
characteristics indicate that the
individual is likely of Native American
ancestry. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Jewett’s bird and mammal collecting
catalogs (noted for their meticulousness)
that are dated May 1934 indicate that he
was on the Oregon Coast near the
Columbia River during that time. His
other catalog entries for that month were
from the southeast Oregon region, away
from the Columbia River. However, the
remain is white in color, and it is the
opinion of museum staff that it does not
exhibit the darker coloration usually
found on remains removed from burials
west of the Cascade mountains; this may
suggest the individual was removed
from a location east of the Cascades. In
general, Jewett traveled extensively and
may have been almost anywhere on the
Columbia River from the Canadian
border to the Pacific Coast during May
1934. While Jewett’s collecting catalogs
indicate that he was working at the
mouth of the Columbia River near the
Washington coast during this time
period, museum staff consider the
coloration of the remain to suggest an
origin east of the Cascades.
Since it is not possible to determine
specific provenience, museum officials
reasonably believe that the removal was
from somewhere along the Columbia
River, likely from an area east of the
Cascades (based on the bone coloration).
This area encompasses 18 Washington
State counties: Pacific, Wahkiakum,
Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania, Klickitat,
Benton, Walla Walla, Franklin, Yakima,
Grant, Kittitas, Chelan, Douglas,
Lincoln, Okanogan, Ferry, and Stevens.
Determinations Made by the Slater
Museum of Natural History, University
of Puget Sound
Officials of the Slater Museum of
Natural History, University of Puget
Sound have determined that:
• Based on morphological
characteristics and museum records, the
human remains are Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• Multiple lines of evidence,
including treaties (e.g. Treaty of Camp
Stevens), Acts of Congress, and
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remain was removed is the aboriginal
and ceded land of The Tribes and The
Indian Groups.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remain described in this notice
represent the physical remain of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remain is to
the Confederated Tribes and Bands of
the Yakama Nation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon; and the Wanapum Band, a
non-Federally recognized Indian group.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remain or any
other Indian tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1) should contact Peter
Wimberger, Slater Museum of Natural
History, University of Puget Sound,
1500 North Warner St., Tacoma, WA
98416–1088, telephone (253) 879–2784,

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
