History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, most likely prior
to 1965, human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (Specimen
#5) were removed from an unknown
area most likely within the Columbia
Plateau, WA. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by the University
of Washington, Department of
Anthropology
Officials of the University of
Washington, Department of
Anthropology, have determined that:
• Based on cranial morphology, the
human remains are Native American.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission, the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of the Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon);
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon; and the
Nez Perce Tribe (previously listed as
Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho).
• Multiple lines of evidence,
including treaties, Acts of Congress, and
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of the Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon);
Confederated Tribes of the Warm

Nez Perce Tribe (previously listed as

Native American human remains were
removed is the aboriginal land of the

Excavation records indicate that 10 of
the individuals were in single

measured 5 feet by 5 feet. All the objects
found in this quadrant were determined
to be associated funerary objects.
Excavation records do not indicate the
location of the burials belonging to the
other two individuals. Historical
evidence, material culture, and oral
history indicate that this region is part
of the traditional territory of The Osage
Nation. The Osage were semi-nomadic
people who lived and hunted in
southwestern Missouri, northwestern
Arkansas, southeast Kansas, and
northeast Oklahoma. Marion County,
AR, is located on land ceded by the
Osage in an 1825 treaty.
Determinations Made by the Arkansas
State University Museum
Officials of the Arkansas State
University Museum have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of a
minimum of 12 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 665 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 the associated funerary
objects and The Osage Nation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Marti Allen, Director,
Arkansas State University Museum, P.O.
Box 490, State University, Jonesboro,
