History and Description of the Remains
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
At an unknown date, most likely
between 1914 and 1922, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Nome
Beach, AK, by C.J. Albrecht. The human
remains were found in collections at the
Burke Museum in 1973 (Burke Accn.
#1973–58). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on anthropological evidence. The
present-day Nome Eskimo Community
is related to the aboriginal Native
Inupiat archeological village sites
documented in the Nome area. These
archaeological sites date between 1000
and 1700 A.D., and confirm that these
Native populations have continuously
occupied the area since that time.
National Park Service
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Based on archaeological evidence,
the human remains have been
determined to be Native American.
• 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 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 Nome Eskimo
Community.
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 Peter Lape,
Burke Museum, University of
Washington, Box 353010, Seattle, WA
98195, telephone (206) 685–3849, email
plape@uw.edu, by October 30, 2013.
After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to the
Nome Eskimo Community may proceed.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying The Consulted Tribes and
Corporations that this notice has been
published.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by the Burke Museum and
Central Washington University
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); SaukSuiattle Indian Tribe; Stillaguamish
Tribe of Indians of Washington
(previously listed as the Stillaguamish

Indians of the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington; Tulalip Tribes of
Washington (previously listed as the
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip

Upper Skagit Indian Tribe (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1937, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the Handel Farm in
Skagit County, WA. The human remains
were removed by Lt. Roger Ernesti, Arie
Handel, and H. Thomas Cain and
donated to the Burke Museum in 1937
(Burke Accn. #2983, 2984). In 1974, the
Burke Museum staff legally transferred
human remains from this site to Central
Washington University (CWU BK). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Between 1958 and 1963, human
remains representing, at minimum, nine
individuals were removed from the
Tronsdal Site (45–SK–37) in Skagit
County, WA. The human remains were
removed by University of Washington
Field School Expeditions led by Dr.
Robert E. Greengo. The human remains
were transferred to the Burke Museum
in 1965 (Burke Accn. #1965–72) and the
remaining archeological collection and
associated funerary objects were
subsequently transferred in 1983 (Burke
Accn. #1983–10). In 1974, the Burke
Museum staff legally transferred human
remains from this site to Central

Washington University (CWU BJ). No
known individuals were identified. The
eight associated funerary objects include
one lot of red ochre, one antler tine, one
metal fragment, one bird bone, one
mammal bone, one sediment sample
and two lots of unmodified shell,
mammal, and fish bone fragments.
The Handel farm site is located
approximately five miles west of Mt.
Vernon and the Tronsdal Site (45–SK–
37) is located in the Skagit River delta.
Both sites are located in southwest
Skagit County. The human remains in
this notice have been determined to be
Native American based on biological
and archeological evidence. The
Tronsdal Site is a shell midden site.
Material culture observed at the site
include projectile points, mauls, adze
blades, red ochre, bone bipoints and
faunal material is consistent with Native
American Coast Salish material culture.
Based on archeological evidence, the
human remains are Native American.
Linguistically, Native American
speakers of the northern dialect of the
Lushootseed language claim cultural
heritage to the Skagit River delta area.
Historical and anthropological sources
(Amoss 1978, Mooney 1896, Snyder,
Spier 1936, and Swanton 1952) indicate
that the Kikiallus, Swinomish, Lower
Skagit, and Upper Skagit occupied and
had village sites within the Skagit River
delta area. Oral history provided by the
Stillaguamish and legal testimony
during the Indian Claims Commission
also indicates that the Stillaguamish
utilized the Skagit River delta and
Skagit Bay area for hunting, fishing, and
clamming (Grady 2012:3). Today,
descendants of Kikiallus are members of
the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians of
Washington (previously listed as the
Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington);
Swinomish Indians of the Swinomish
Reservation of Washington; and Tulalip
Tribes of Washington (previously listed
as the Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington). Today, the
Lower Skagit are represented by the
Swinomish Indians of the Swinomish
Reservation of Washington. The Upper
Skagit are represented by the Upper
Skagit Indian Tribe.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the eight objects described above 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 the Stillaguamish Tribe of
Indians of Washington (previously
listed as the Stillaguamish Tribe of
Washington); Swinomish Indians of the
Swinomish Reservation of Washington;
Tulalip Tribes of Washington
(previously listed as the Tulalip Tribes
of the Tulalip Reservation, Washington);
and the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe.
