lots of pottery fragments, 164 lots of
stone fragments, and 34 lots of shell
fragments.
Based on an archeological assessment
of the cultural materials, the Kramer site
is associated with the Fort Ancient
Tradition of the Scioto River drainage in
Ohio. The Fort Ancient Tradition
spanned from 950 to 1450 A.D. and
possibly into the 1700’s according to
some archeologists. The cultural
material recovered from the Kramer Site
is associated with all phases of the Fort
Ancient Tradition. The University of
Massachusetts Amherst, Department of
Anthropology, considers the Kramer site
to be associated with the Fort Ancient
Tradition.
Multiple lines of evidence—guided by
tribal consultations—including
geographic, oral tradition, archeological,
historical records, and treaties
demonstrate a shared group identity
between these human remains and the
modern-day tribes of the AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma;
Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma;
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan; and the Shawnee Tribe.

Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Burke Museum and Central Washington
University. The human remains were
removed from Island 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 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; Puyallup Tribe
of the Puyallup Reservation; Samish
Indian Nation (previously listed as the
Samish Indian Tribe, Washington);
Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe;
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 (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Consulted Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1926, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from San de Fuca in Island
County, WA. The human remains were

removed by M.E. Hingston and donated
to the Burke Museum in 1926 (Burke
Accn. #2134). The remains were found
under six inches of clam shells from a
known Indian burial site. In 1974, the
Burke Museum staff legally transferred
elements associated with the
individuals to Central Washington
University (CWU AS and BR). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1937, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from Camano Island in Island
County, WA. The human remains were
removed during a museum expedition
led by Cane Schwarder and accessioned
by the Burke Museum in 1937 (Burke
Accn. #2958). In 1974, the Burke
Museum staff legally transferred
elements associated with the
individuals to Central Washington
University (CWU BS, BT, and DJ). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1940, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from Rocky Point in Island
County, WA. The human remains were
removed from a known Native cemetery
after reports of vandalism. The cultural
items were removed by a museum
expedition led by Wayne Suttles and
transferred to the Burke Museum in
1940 (Burke Accn. #3164). In 1974, the
Burke Museum staff legally transferred
elements and cultural items associated
with the individuals to Central
Washington University (CWU AT). No
known individuals were identified. The
15 associated funerary objects are one
shaker bell, one bowl, one porcelain
doll, one porcelain figurine, two
porcelain cups, one ointment jar, one tin
can, one metal ring, one metal button,
two fragmentary sets of shoes, one lot of
nails and burial box pieces, and two
unmodified shells.
The sites described in this notice are
located either in the Penn Cove area of
Whidbey Island or on the northwestern
shore of Camano Island. The human
remains have been determined to be
Native American based on a variety of
sources, including archeological and
biological evidence. The human remains
were determined to be consistent with
Native American morphology as
evidenced either through cranial
deformation, bossing of the cranium,
presence of wormian bones, or shovel
shaped incisors.
Based on archaeological evidence, the
human remains are Native American.
Linguistically, Native American
speakers of the northern dialect of the
Lushootseed language claim cultural
heritage to the Northern Puget Sound
area. Culturally Native Americans from

the Northern Puget Sound area are
members of Southern Coast Salish
tribes. Historical and anthropological
sources (Deur 2009, Mooney 1896,
Roberts 1975, Ruby and Brown 1986,
Spier 1936, and Swanton 1952) indicate
that the Kikiallus, Swinomish, Lower
Skagit and Stillaguamish peoples
occupied and had village sites in the
Penn Cove area and on the northwestern
shore of Camano Island. Although the
Indian Claims Commission determined
that the sites near Penn Cove on
Whidbey Island fell within the
aboriginal territory of the Lower Skagit,
shortly after 1855, anthropologists and
historians described this area as a mixed
community. Penn Cove was one of the
communities where the Stillaguamish
and other tribes were told to move after
being forced to leave their villages on
the mainland (Deur 2009, and Grady
2012).
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 primarily
members of the Swinomish Indians of
the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington and the Tulalip Tribes of
Washington (previously listed as the
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington).
Determinations made by the Burke
Museum and Central Washington
University
Officials of the Burke Museum and
Central Washington University have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 14
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 15 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.
