History and Description of the Remains
In 1974, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from site 5WL58 in Weld
County, CO. Staff and students from the
University of Northern Colorado
inadvertently removed the human
remains while excavating the site as part
of a field school. The human remains
were highly fragmentary and in 1974,
thought to be faunal remains. The
remains were identified as human in
2012, by History Colorado staff, who
were processing the faunal assemblage.
The human remains were transferred to
the Culture and Community Department
of the museum for NAGPRA
compliance. Osteological analysis
indicates the partial human remains
represent three subadults of Native
American ancestry. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Radiocarbon dates from the site where
the human remains were removed
ranges from 250 B.C. to A.D. 950. These
dates, along with attributes of the site
including site location on the
northeastern plains of Colorado,
projectile points, cord-marked pottery,
and site architecture, indicate a Plains
Woodland occupation. Available
evidence indicates there is a traditional
association between the Ute people and
the geographical area from where the
human remains were recovered.
Ancestral Ute people may have
interacted with Plains Woodland people
on the northeastern plains of Colorado.
However the preponderance of evidence
including geographical, biological,
archeological, oral tradition, and expert
opinion is associated with Plains
Woodlands occupations whose
descendants are currently recognized as
the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota; and Wichita
and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi,
Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by History
Colorado
Officials of History Colorado have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals 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 Pawnee Nation of
Oklahoma; Three Affiliated Tribes of the
Fort Berthold Reservation, North
Dakota; and Wichita and Affiliated

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
At an unknown date, 54 cultural
items were removed from one or more
unknown Native American graves at one
or more unknown locations in Walla
Walla County, WA. All of these objects
are part of the Hagen Collection in the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology and
were donated to, or purchased by, the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology on
an unknown date between 1948 and
1979. The 54 unassociated funerary
objects are 53 tubular copper beads
(Longyear Museum of Anthropology
Index Number 373, Catalog Number
A280), which are catalogued as from a
‘‘Cayuse Indian grave,’’ and one copper
pendant (Longyear Museum of
Anthropology Index Number 377,
Catalog Number A284), which is
catalogued as from ‘‘a Cayuse grave.’’
Consultation was initiated on
February 11, 2015, by the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology with the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation and the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
(previously listed as the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon). On February 25, 2015, the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation notified the Longyear
Museum of Anthropology and the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation that these 54
unassociated funerary objects are not
from their traditional territory and that
they therefore deferred to the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation concerning the
repatriation of the objects. The
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation submitted to the
Longyear Museum of Anthropology a
NAGPRA cultural affiliation claim, in
the form of a letter and report dated
March 13, 2015, requesting to repatriate
the 54 unassociated funerary objects.
The information presented in this
report indicates that the Walla Walla
County area of Washington is an area
traditionally and aboriginally used by
the Umatilla Tribes and ceded to the
U.S. Government following the treaty of
1855. The Umatilla Tribes are direct
descendant communities of the
´
´
Weyıiletpuu (Cayuse), Imatalamlama
´
(Umatilla), and Waluulapam (Walla
Walla), Native people who used the
lower Snake River and Columbia River
since time immemorial, both of which
run along the border of Walla Walla
County. Enrolled members of the
Umatilla Tribes have documented that
their ancestors were buried along the
lower Snake and Columbia Rivers.
These areas have also been important
