History and Description of the Remains
From 1950 through 1953, human
remains representing, at minimum,
three individuals were removed from
site 45–SP–5 in Spokane County, WA.
The human remains were excavated by
Louis R. Caywood of the National Park
Service under a contract with the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
identified in 2005, and were transferred
from a storage facility in Seattle, WA, to
the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission headquarters in
Olympia, WA, sometime after 2006. No
known individuals were identified. The
four associated funerary objects are
mammal bone.
During 1962 and 1963, human
remains representing, at minimum, four
individuals were removed from site 45–
SP–5 in Spokane County, WA. The
human remains were excavated by John
D. Combes of Washington State
University under a contract with the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were
identified in 2006, and were transferred
from a storage facility in Seattle, WA, to
the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission headquarters in
Olympia, WA, sometime after 2006. No
known individuals were identified. The
120 associated funerary objects are 50
stone flakes; 47 unmodified stones; 1
unmodified concretion; 5 unmodified
olivella shell; 4 lots of charcoal; 2 lots
of mammal bone; 2 lots of metal
fragments; 4 lots of shell fragments; 4
lots of wood fragments; and 1 lot of
plant material.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site 45–
SP–5 in Spokane County, WA. In 2008,
the human remains were discovered in
a storage building located adjacent to
the site and were transferred to the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission headquarters in Olympia,
WA. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The site is a burial ground that dates
from before 1812 to approximately 1885.
Based on the material recovered from a
small percentage of the overall number
of burials, it would appear the burials
are associated with the ‘‘immediate precontact, fur trade, or post-fur trade
periods’’ (Luttrell, 2011). These dates
are supported by first-person accounts
of the types and styles of burials during
and following the fur trade era (Cox,
1957; Luttrell, 2011; Williams, 1922).
The human remains recovered from this
VerDate Mar<15>2010

site are incomplete and culturally nondiagnostic. Due to the nature of the site,
the antiquity of the remains, the objects
recovered with the remains, and the
general nature and history of the overall
site, the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission staff has
determined that, more likely than not,
the eight individuals are of Native
American ancestry.
The Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission staff has
determined there is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
human remains and associated funerary
objects and the modern day tribes of the
Coeur d’Alene Tribe (previously listed
as the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of the Coeur
d’Alene Reservation, Idaho); Kalispel
Indian Community of the Kalispel
Reservation; and the Spokane Tribe of
the Spokane Reservation. This
determination is based on ethnographic
evidence that the Upper and Middle
Spokane people predominantly resided
in the area and utilized the resources of
this site in the pre- and post-contact
period. Connections between the three
groups included intermarriage between
the Spokane and Kalispel people and
the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene people
as well as shared linguistic heritage,
overlapping trade networks, battle
alliances, shared resource protection,
cooperative hunting parties, and shared
burial practices (especially between the
Spokane and Kalispel peoples) (Fahey,
1986; Luttrell, 2011; Ruby and Brown,
1970 & 1981; Walker, 1998).
Additionally, during consultation with
the Spokane Tribe, representatives
stated the site is a part of their people’s
traditional territory, and the burial
ground is a sacred place of their people.
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 eight
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 124 objects described in this notice
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 associated funerary objects
and the Coeur d’Alene Tribe (previously
listed as the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of the

Coeur d’Alene Reservation, Idaho);
Kalispel Indian Community of the

Additional Requestors and Disposition

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
