providing visitors a greater
understanding of the siege and
reduction of Fort Pulaski in 1862.
• Alternative C which focuses
management on a broader interpretive

of Natural History and Culture,
University of Washington (Burke
Museum), Seattle, WA. The human
remains were removed from Sucia
Island State Park, San Juan County, WA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Washington
State Parks and Recreation Commission
and the Burke Museum professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Lummi Tribe of
the Lummi Reservation; Samish Indian
Nation (previously listed as the Samish
Indian Tribe, Washington); and the
Swinomish Indians of the Swinomish
Reservation of Washington.
History and Description of the Remains
In August 1960, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Robert
Kidd, a student working under the
supervision of R. E. Greengo, of the
Department of Anthropology, University
of Washington, during the excavation of
site 45–SJ–105 on Sucia Island. Kidd
does not indicate the discovery of a
burial site or human remains in his
report, but Kidd specifically notes Sucia
Island as ‘‘historic Lummi territory.’’
Staff at the Burke Museum identified
the remains in unmodified level bags in
the collection prior to 1996. Washington
State Parks and Recreation Commission
believes Kidd inadvertently and
unknowingly removed these human
remains from the site. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In July 1971, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed by a park
visitor who inadvertently discovered a
burial on Sucia Island at site 45–SJ–306.
The remains were exposed by natural
erosion. The San Juan County Sheriff’s
Department sent the remains to the
Department of Anthropology, University
of Idaho, Moscow, ID, for identification.
Prior to 1993, this collection was
released back into the custody of
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission. Anthropologists that
reviewed the human remains indicated
there was an extended postmortem
interval and the human remains are
consistent with archaeological material.

No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Ethnographic and archaeological
evidence suggests Native American
groups, specifically the Lummi people,
occupied Sucia Island prior to European
contact (Amos 1978; McDonald 1990;
Stern 1934, Stolpe 1972, Suttles 1951,
1954, 1990). The Lummi Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer confirmed Sucia
Island as one among many islands in the
San Juan archipelago that was occupied
by the Lummi people prior to and
during the early stages of European
contact and settlement in the area.
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission staff believes there is
sufficient evidence Sucia Island was
occupied by Native Americans,
specifically the Lummi people, and has
determine there is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
Native American human remains and
the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation.
Determinations Made by the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission
Officials of the Washington State
Parks and Recreation Commission have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of a
minimum of three individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• 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 Lummi Tribe of the
Lummi Reservation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Alicia Woods,
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission, PO Box 42650, Olympia,
WA 98504–2650, telephone (360) 902–
0939, email
Alicia.Woods@parks.wa.gov. After that
date, if no additional requestors have
come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to Lummi Tribe of the
Lummi Reservation may proceed.
The Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission is responsible
for notifying the Lummi Tribe of the
Lummi Reservation; Samish Indian
Nation (previously listed as the Samish
Indian Tribe, Washington); and the
Swinomish Indians of the Swinomish
