The skeletal remains consist of
fragmentary long bones and cannot be
used to conclusively establish cultural
affiliation. The physical relationship of
the remains to a particular population
group (e.g., Native American, European,
or African) could not be established.
However, affiliation of the remains can
be established with some degree of
confidence through examination of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

archeological and historic context of the
remains. This site is adjacent to (or more
likely a part of) the use area of historic
Fort Washita, which was established by
the U.S. Government to protect
southeastern removal Tribes (e.g.,
Chickasaw and Choctaw) from
depredations by whites (principally
from Texas) and Plains Indian groups
(such as the Apache and Comanche).
Many Chickasaw congregated around
Fort Washita for protection as well as
for the economic goods available there.
Thus, the resident community of Fort
Washita consisted of white soldiers;
individuals related to post personnel;
traders who operated outside the post;
Native Americans (mostly Chickasaws)
who settled around the post; and blacks
who were slaves of the more affluent
Chickasaws. Although the records do
not specifically address the presence of
human remains from the excavation, the
long bones were found in physical
association with the other materials
from 34Br6. The materials recovered
from 34Br6 are those that would be
typically associated with refuse
disposal, and this refuse area can be
identified as principally Native
American in origin (probably
Chickasaw). This is due to an absence
of military hardware and the presence of
aboriginal historic ceramics and glass
beads although European goods are also
abundant within the midden. These
facts indicate that the individual from
the burial is most likely a person of
Chickasaw cultural affiliation.
Determinations Made by the
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs and Sam Noble
Oklahoma Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and
Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 1,532 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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), 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 Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
Tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Burke
Museum 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,
Washington; and the Nez Perce Tribe,
Idaho (hereinafter ‘‘The Tribes’’). The
Burke Museum also consulted with the
Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group (hereinafter
‘‘The Indian Group’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1953–1954, human remains and
funerary objects were removed from the
Cedar Cave Site (45–KT–20), in Kittitas
County, WA, during a University of
Washington Field Expedition led by Dr.
Earl Swanson, Jr. The human remains
and funerary objects were transferred
from the University of Washington
Department of Anthropology and
accessioned by the Burke Museum in
1966 (Burke Accn. #1966–95). In 1974,
the Burke Museum legally transferred
portions of the human remains to
Central Washington University. In 2007,
a Notice of Inventory Completion (NIC)
describing 4 individuals and 42
associated funerary objects removed
from the Cedar Cave site was published
in the Federal Register [72 FR 52391–
52392, September 13, 2007]. The Burke
Museum and Central Washington
University have jointly repatriated these
human remains and funerary objects
from the Cedar Cave site described in
the NIC. In 2009, during a collection
cataloging and rehousing project, the
Burke Museum located one human
tooth, representing an additional
individual, which had also been
removed from the Cedar Cave Site. No
known individual was identified. There
are no associated funerary objects for
this individual.
Early and late published ethnographic
documentation indicates that the Cedar
Cave Site is in the aboriginal territory of

the Moses-Columbia or Sinkiuse, and
the Yakima (Daugherty 1973, Miller
1998, Mooney 1896, Ray 1936, Spier
1936) whose descendants are
represented today by the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington, and the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington. Furthermore, information
provided during consultation indicates
that the aboriginal ancestors occupying
this area were highly mobile and
traveled the landscape for gathering
resources as well as trade. Descendants
of these Plateau communities are now
widely dispersed and enrolled in the
two Tribes mentioned above, as well as
the Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
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.
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
