TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
remains were given to the Burke
Museum by Dwight Benton (Burke
Accn. #3170). No associated funerary
objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Based on cranial morphology and
museum accession documentation, 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 Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe;
Lower Elwha Tribal Community
(previously listed as the Lower Elwha
Tribal Community of the Lower Elwha
Reservation, Washington); Makah
Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian
Reservation; Port Gamble Band of
S’Klallam Indians (previously listed as
Port Gamble Indian Community of the
Port Gamble Reservation, Washington);
Quileute Tribe of the Quileute
Reservation; Quinault Indian Nation
(previously listed as the Quinault Tribe
of the Quinault Reservation,
Washington); and the Skokomish Indian
Tribe (previously listed as the
Skokomish Indian Tribe of the
Skokomish Reservation, Washington).
• 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 Hoh Indian Tribe (previously
listed as the Hoh Indian Tribe of the
Hoh Indian Reservation, Washington);
Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe; Lower
Elwha Tribal Community (previously
listed as the Lower Elwha Tribal
Community of the Lower Elwha
Reservation, Washington); Makah
Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian
Reservation; Port Gamble Band of
S’Klallam Indians (previously listed as
Port Gamble Indian Community of the
Port Gamble Reservation, Washington);
Quileute Tribe of the Quileute
Reservation; Quinault Indian Nation
(previously listed as the Quinault Tribe
of the Quinault Reservation,
Washington); and the Skokomish Indian
Tribe (previously listed as the
Skokomish Indian Tribe of the
Skokomish Reservation, Washington)
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Aboriginal
Land Tribes’’). The Treaty of the
Quinault River of 1855 was signed by
representatives from the Hoh Indian

Tribe (previously listed as the Hoh
Indian Tribe of the Hoh Indian
Reservation, Washington); Quileute
Tribe of the Quileute Reservation; and
the Quinault Indian Nation (previously
listed as the Quinault Tribe of the
Quinault Reservation, Washington). The
Treaty of Neah Bay of 1855 was signed
by representatives from Makah Indian
Tribe of the Makah Indian Reservation.
The Treaty of Point No Point of 1855
was signed by representatives from the
Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe; Lower
Elwha Tribal Community (previously
listed as the Lower Elwha Tribal
Community of the Lower Elwha
Reservation, Washington); Port Gamble
Band of S’Klallam Indians (previously
listed as Port Gamble Indian
Community of the Port Gamble
Reservation, Washington); and the
Skokomish Indian Tribe (previously
listed as the Skokomish Indian Tribe of
the Skokomish Reservation,
Washington).
• Other credible lines of evidence
indicate that the land from which the
Native American human remains were
removed is the aboriginal land of The
Aboriginal Land Tribes.
• 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 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Aboriginal Land Tribes. As
stated during consultation, the Lower
Elwha Tribal Community intends to
take the lead on repatriation. The
Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, Port
Gamble Band of S’Klallam Indians, and
the Skokomish Indian Tribe have stated
their support for moving forward with
repatriation to the Lower Elwha Tribal
Community.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains or
any other Indian tribe that believes it
satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1) should contact Peter Lape,

History and Description of the Remains
In 1972 or 1973, human remains
representing, at minimum, 96
individuals were removed from site
15JF267, the KYANG site, in Jefferson
County, KY, during an authorized
runway expansion project. The human
remains were recovered from
disarticulate burials (at minimum 43
individuals) as well as from formal
interments (at minimum 53
individuals). No known individuals
were identified. The 32 associated
funerary objects are: 1 single bear, deer,
and wolf tooth necklace containing
drilled canines; 4 drilled canines; 6
bone awls; 9 polished or worked bone
tools; 2 polished small mammal
mandibles; 1 worked canine; 2 fish

chert tools. The human remains and
