TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
September 2012, Central Washington
University requested that the Secretary,
through the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee, recommend the proposed
transfer of control of the culturally
unidentifiable Native American human
remains to the Wanapum Band of Priest
Rapids, a non-Federally recognized
Indian group. The Review Committee,
acting pursuant to its responsibility
under 25 U.S.C. 3006(c)(5), considered
the request at its November 2012
meeting and recommended to the
Secretary that the proposed transfer of
control proceed. A March 1, 2013 letter
on behalf of the Secretary of Interior
from the Designated Federal Official
transmitted the Secretary’s independent
review and concurrence with the
Review Committee that:
• Central Washington University
consulted with every appropriate Indian
tribe or Native Hawaiian organization,
• none of the Indian tribes or Native
Hawaiian organizations agreed to accept
control,
• none of the Indian tribes or Native
Hawaiian organizations objected to the
proposed transfer of control, and
• Central Washington University may
proceed with the agreed-upon transfer
of control of the culturally
unidentifiable human remains to the
Wanapum Band of Priest Rapids, a nonFederally recognized Indian group.
Transfer of control is contingent on the
publication of a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register.
This notice fulfills that requirement.
Determinations Made by Central
Washington University
Officials of Central Washington
University have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on
morphology and archeological context.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one

will be to the Wanapum Band of Priest
Rapids, a non-Federally recognized

The age of site Ca-Tuo-328 is
unknown, but the site is located within
the historically documented territory of
the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians
of the Tuolumne Rancheria of
California. The objects are consistent
with the material culture of the
ancestral and contact period Sierra
Miwok, who occupied this area from
circa A.D. 500, at a minimum, and
during the Euro-American contact
period. Oral history evidence presented
during consultation indicates that the
area has been continuously occupied by
the Miwok since the contact period and
that there is cultural affiliation between
the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians
of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California
and the ancestral Sierra Miwok Indians.
