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 in the possession of
the U.S. Department of Defense, Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps), Walla Walla
District, Walla Walla, WA. The human
remains were removed from Benton
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.
ADDRESSES:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Corps and the
University of Idaho (UI) professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon); Nez
Perce Tribe (previously listed as the Nez
Perce Tribe of Idaho); and the Wanapum
Band, a non-Federally recognized
Indian group.
History and Description of the Remains
On April 13, 1962, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Indian
Island by U.S. Fish and Wildlife
employees during a migratory bird
count. The human remains were turned
over to the Corps Pasco Maintenance
Office on October 22, 2013. To date, no
archeological sites on Indian Island
have been documented. Indian Island
was surveyed between 1998 and 1999
by archeologists from the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation and no archeological sites
were recorded. Indian Island is located
within the McNary Lock and Dam
Project on the Columbia River, WA,
which is managed by the Corps. The
Corps initiated land acquisition
processes for the McNary Lock and Dam
Project in 1947, and Indian Island was
acquired by the Corps from the
Department of the Army on May 21,
1965. While the Corps did not own the
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
32983
parcel in question on the date of the
collection of the human remains, as the
parcel was owned by the Corps’ parent
agency, the Corps is proceeding with the
repatriation of these remains.
The human remains were examined
in December 2013 by Don Tyler (UI) and
were identified as Native American.
Distinctive morphological traits indicate
that the human remains, comprised of a
partial cranium, are from an adult
Native American female. The individual
was described as young and healthy,
and about 18 to 20 years of age at the
time of death. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The estimated date
range of the human remains is A.D.
1800–1850.
The relevant evidence supports a
cultural affiliation between the human
remains and the Confederated Tribes
and Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon); and Nez
Perce Tribe (previously listed as the Nez
Perce Tribe of Idaho). Additionally, a
cultural relationship is determined to
exist between the human remains and
the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group. Information
provided during consultation
demonstrates that the consulting tribes
are descended from the Native people
who occupied Indian Island, and that
the individuals buried along the Snake
River and mid-Columbia River are their
ancestors. The aforementioned tribes are
all part of the more broadly defined
Plateau cultural community, and have
shared past and present traditional
lifeways that bind them to common
ancestors.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of Defense, Army Corps of
Engineers, Walla Walla District
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Defense, Army Corps of Engineers,
Walla Walla District, 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Confederated Tribes
and Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon); and Nez

Perce Tribe (previously listed as the Nez
Perce Tribe of Idaho). Additionally, a
cultural relationship is determined to
exist between the human remains and
the Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group.
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 LTC Andrew
D. Kelly, U.S. Department of Defense,
Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla
District, 201 North Third Ave., Walla
Walla, WA 99362, telephone (509) 527–

no additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains to the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of Colville
Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon); Nez
Perce Tribe (previously listed as the Nez
Perce Tribe of Idaho); and, if joined to
one or more of the culturally affiliated
tribes, the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group, may
proceed.
The Corps, Walla Walla District, is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation; Confederated Tribes of
Colville Reservation; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation (previously listed as the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla

History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between 1936 and 1951,
human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual (1951.352–
.355 & F1997.60.2) were removed from
the Beaumier Farm site (47–BR–0060) in
Brown County, WI. Robert Hall
collected the fragmentary human
remains from the surface of a disturbed
context. In 1951, Hall donated the
human remains to the State Historical
Society. The human remains were
determined to represent an adult of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. The three
associated funerary objects are a copper
awl (1951.356), a copper fragment
(1951.357), and a string of buckskin
with rolled copper fragments
(1951.358).
In 1990, 1991, and 1992, human
remains representing, at minimum,
twelve individuals (HP.BR–0222.1) were
removed from the Bordeleau site (47–
BR–0222) in Brown County, WI. The
human remains were disturbed by
plowing activities, and subsequently
collected from the surface by Jim Yinst
of the Neville Public Museum. In 1995,
the remains from each surface collection
were transferred from the Neville Public
Museum to the State Historical Society’s
Burial Sites Office. The human remains
were determined to represent eight
adults and four subadults, all of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1987, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals (HP.BR–
0434.1) were removed from the Nicolet
Grove site (47–BR–0434) in Brown
County, WI. The human remains were
disturbed by residential construction on
the site. A local real estate broker
contacted the Neville Public Museum
about the human remains and they, in
turn, contacted the State Historical
Society’s Burial Sites Office. Neville
Museum staff archeologists excavated
the disturbed remains and transferred
them to the State Historical Society.
State Historical Society staff
archeologists surveyed the site and no
additional remains were discovered.
The human remains were determined to
represent an infant, an adolescent, and
an adult, all of indeterminate sex. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1995, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual (HP.BR–
0440.1) were removed from the
Seymour Burial site (47–BR–0440) in
