History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
National Park Service
Beginning in 1926, Reverend Harold
Case acquired everyday objects as well
as traditional, religious, and ceremonial
items, through gifts, purchases, and
items left for collateral by Mandan,
Hidatsa, and Arikara individuals living
on and near the Fort Berthold
Reservation. In 1983, over 300 items
from the Case collection were donated
to the University of Colorado Museum
of Natural History. After extensive
consultation, official representatives of
the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota
submitted a repatriation claim for five
items. The five sacred objects are pipes.
The pipe represented by catalog number
33032 is comprised of a red pipestone
bowl with a lead inlay and wood stem,
which is decorated with black banding.
The pipe represented by catalog number
33035 is comprised of a red pipestone
bowl and stem, which are joined by a
wooden connector. The pipe
represented by catalog number 33043 is
comprised of a red pipestone bowl and
wood stem. The pipe represented by
catalog number 33047 is comprised of a
black pipestone bowl and wood stem,
which is decorated with red, white and
blue quillwork, as well as red and
yellow ribbons. The pipe represented by
catalog number 33049 is comprised of a
black pipestone bowl and wood stem,
which is decorated with knobby
protrusions and a black amorphous
pattern.
The provenance of the pipes supports
cultural affiliation to the Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota, which is
comprised of Mandan, Hidatsa and
Arikara peoples. Historic evidence
provided during consultation also
supports cultural affiliation with the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission, Olympia, WA that meet
the definition of unassociated funerary
objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Between 1950 and 1953, 29 cultural
items were removed from the site 45–
SP–5 in Spokane County, WA, by Louis
R. Caywood with the National Park
Service and under a contract with the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission. At the time of removal, the
Washington State Parks and Recreation
Commission signed a Memorandum of
Agreement releasing custody and
control over all excavated material from
the site to the Eastern Washington State
Historical Society (EWSHS), now
known as the Northwest Museum of
Arts and Culture. In 1989, the EWSHS
de-accessioned the objects, and
transferred them to the Washington
State Parks and Recreation Commission.
The funerary objects listed in this notice
were identified in 2005, and were
transferred to the Washington State
Parks and Recreation Commission
headquarters in Olympia, WA. The 29
unassociated funerary objects are 7
pieces of stone and shell; 20 whole and
fragmented perforated faunal teeth; 1
perforated seed; and 1 ornamental rifle
side plate.
Between 1962 and 1963, nine cultural
items were removed from site 45–SP–5
in Spokane County, WA, by John D.
Combes with Washington State
University (WSU) and under a contract
PO 00000

with the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission. These objects
originate from two identified burials
and were excavated at the same time as
the corresponding human remains,
although the human remains are not
present in the collection. At the time of
removal, the Washington State Parks
and Recreation Commission released
custody and control over all excavated
material to WSU. It is not known when
the Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission took custody of
the unassociated funerary objects from
this site. The funerary objects listed in
this notice were identified in 2006, and
were transferred to the Washington
State Parks and Recreation Commission
headquarters in Olympia, WA. The 9
unassociated funerary objects are 1
hammerstone; 2 modified shells; 2 stone
tools; 2 stone flakes; and 2 shell
fragments.
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).
All 38 unassociated funerary objects
came from the burial ground at site 45–
SP–5 and specifically from graves of
people who were of Native American
ancestry.
The Washington State Parks and
Recreation Commission staff has
determined there is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
unassociated 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).
