A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the University of
Montana professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes of the Flathead Indian
Reservation, Montana.
AGENCY:
History and Description of the Remains
ACTION:
In 1950, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the west shore of
Flathead Lake, north of the Flathead
Reservation, in Lake County, MT. This
pre-contact burial was disturbed by
excavation equipment and then turned
over to the University of Montana,
Department of Anthropology. The
remains were discovered in the
University’s collection in 2011. Of the
two individuals present, one is the
nearly complete skeleton of an older
female, at least 50 years of age at death.
The second individual, represented only
by several vertebrae, was also elderly,
but exact age and sex cannot be
determined. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1950, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a primary, flexed burial
in a rock outcropping on the west shore
of Flathead Lake, in Lake County, MT,
during real estate development. The site
is within the boundaries of the Flathead
Reservation but on private land near the
town of Dayton, MT. Local amateur
archaeologist, Thain White, contacted
Carling Malouf of the University of
Montana, Department of Anthropology,
and the remains and associated funerary
objects were removed to the University
of Montana in Missoula. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were discovered in the University’s
collection in 2011. The mostly complete
skeleton is of a male, aged 35 to 50 years
at death. No known individual was
identified. The eight associated funerary
objects are 1 large (6 cm) turtle-backed
stone scraper, 1 chalcedony flake, 2
shell beads, 3 antler pieces, and 1 lot of
faunal remains.
In 1950, during excavations for a
business establishment human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by a bulldozer
from an historical Indian burial in the
city of Missoula, MT. This burial site
location is within the aboriginal
territory of the Confederated Salish and
Kootenai Tribes. The nearly complete
skeletal remains of a child, aged 7 to 8
years at death, and associated funerary
objects were transferred by the County
Coroner to the University of Montana,
The University of Montana
has completed an inventory of Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects in
consultation with the Confederated
Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the
Flathead Indian Reservation, Montana,
and has determined that there is a
cultural affiliation between the human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Confederated Salish and
Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian
Reservation, Montana. Representatives
of any Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human
remains and associated funerary objects
may contact the University of Montana.
Repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects to the Indian
tribes stated below may occur if no
additional claimants come forward.
DATES: Representatives of any Indian
tribe that believes it has a cultural
affiliation with the human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact the University of Montana at the
address below by August 20, 2012.

Human remains of three individuals and
associated funerary objects were
removed from locations along the west
shore of Flathead Lake in Lake County,
MT. Human remains of one individual
were removed from within the city
