SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Walla Walla 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 and associated funerary objects. 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 Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously listed as the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES History and Description of the Remains Sometime before 2000, possibly in 1988, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from an unknown location in Walla Walla County, WA. The human remains were at the University of Idaho from some unknown date until 2000, when they were transferred to the Museum of Anthropology at Washington State VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:14 Feb 03, 2014 Jkt 232001 University. Notes at the University of Idaho state the human remains were collected on March 21, 1988, but no additional information was located. No known individuals were identified. The eight associated funerary objects are 2 freshwater mussel shells, 1 bone awl, 2 smooth pebbles, 2 fragmentary pieces of bird bone, and 1 fragment of a chipped stone tool. The human remains were determined to be Native American based on the nature of the dental wear and the character of the associated funerary objects. Present-day cultural affiliation was based on the generalized location from which the remains were removed in Walla Walla County, WA. The character of the associated funerary objects suggests the human remains probably date to the late prehistoric period or between 2000 and 500 years ago. Determinations Made by the Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University Officials of the Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University have determined that: • 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(3)(A), the eight 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 Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously listed as the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon).

responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has 
control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary

History and Description of the Remains

    In January 1995, human remains representing, at minimum, one

(47-KN-0408) in Kenosha County, WI. The Silverwood Farm site is located 
near two known Potawatomi villages and a Potawatomi burial ground. 
There are also early settler accounts of the Potawatomi inhabiting this 
region of Kenosha County at the time of contact. The remains were 
disturbed by the landowner while digging postholes with an auger. The 
Historical Society's Burial Sites Preservation Program was notified of 
the discovery and the remains were transferred to them. The remains 
were determined to be those of a juvenile of indeterminate sex and 
ancestry. No known individuals were identified. The one associated 
funerary object is a piece of copper (HP.KN-0408.2).
