Determinations Made by the

Commission
Officials of the Washington State
Parks and Recreation Commission have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 88 unassociated funerary 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3005(a)(5)(A),
Dumont, Harold Tommy; DumontFriday, Michelle; Dumont, Monte;
Childress, JuLee Lain; Childress,
Michael L.; Childress, minor child #1;
Childress, minor child #2; Finley,
Marian; Loper, Donald; Salois, Britton;
Samsel, Joan; and Trahan, Albert are the
direct lineal descendants of the
individual who owned these funerary
objects.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of
the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, Idaho;
Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes of the Flathead Reservation,
Montana; Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Washington;
Kalispel Tribe of the Kalispel

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS
SRC program is authorized under
section 808 of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act (16
U.S.C. 3118). The SRCs hold meetings to
develop NPS subsistence program
recommendations and advise on related
regulatory proposals and resource
management issues.
Each SRC is composed of nine
members: (a) Three members appointed
by the Secretary of the Interior; (b) three
members appointed by the Governor of
the State of Alaska; and (c) three
members appointed by a Regional
Advisory Council (RAC), established
pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 3115, which has
jurisdiction within the area in which the
park is located. Each of the three
members appointed by the RAC must be
a member of either the RAC or a local
advisory committee within the region
who also engages in subsistence uses
within the Park or Park Monument.
We are now seeking nominations for
those three members of each of the SRCs
listed above. These members are to be
appointed by the Secretary of the
Interior.
Members will be appointed for a term
of three years. Members of the SRC
receive no pay, allowances, or benefits

However, while away from their homes
or regular places of business in the
performance of services for the SRC, and
as approved by the Designated Federal
Officer (DFO), members may be allowed
travel expenses, including per diem in
lieu of subsistence, in the same manner
as persons employed intermittently in
Government service are allowed such
expenses under section 5703 of title 5 of
the United States Code.
SRC meetings will take place at such
times as designated by the DFO.
Members are expected to make every
effort to attend all meetings. Members
may not appoint deputies or alternates.

registered lobbyists are ineligible to

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 under the control of
the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University Pullman,
WA. The human remains were removed
from near the mouth of Crab Creek in
Grant 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 was made by the Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, and the
Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1957, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from near the mouth of Crab
Creek in Grant County, WA. No
information about why or how the
human remains were collected has been
located. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. The human remains
consist of a single lot of sand, ash,
charcoal, and fragmentary human
remains and are believed to be the
remnants of a cremation feature. The
human remains were found in a box
labeled with the date and location from
which the human remains were
removed and the names of two students
who are presumed to have done the
removal. Attempts to locate and
communicate with the students were
not successful. Although not the most

common form of burial, cremation was
practiced by a number of Native
American groups along the Columbia
River from very ancient to relatively
recent times.
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(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 and
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation. 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 Mary Collins,
Director Emeritus, Museum of
Anthropology at Washington State
University, Pullman, WA 99164–4910,
telephone (509) 592–6929, email
collinsm@wsu.edu, by September 4,
2015. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, and, if
joined to one or more of the culturally
affiliated tribes, the Wanapum Band, a
non-federally recognized Indian group,
may proceed.
The Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University is
responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the
Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of
the Colville Reservation, and the
Wanapum Band, a non-federally
recognized Indian group, that this notice
has been published.
