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 object under the control of the
Burke Museum, University of
Washington, Seattle, WA. The human
remains and associated funerary object
were probably removed from the
northern Puget Sound region, WA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).
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 object.
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 Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation;
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (previously
listed as the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
of the Muckleshoot Reservation,
Washington); Nooksack Indian Tribe;

Tribe, Washington); Stillaguamish Tribe
of Indians of Washington (previously
listed as the Stillaguamish Tribe of
Washington); Suquamish Indian Tribe
of the Port Madison Reservation;
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
(previously listed as the Swinomish
Indians of the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington); Tulalip Tribes of
Washington (previously listed as the
Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip
Reservation, Washington); and Upper
Skagit Indian Tribe, (hereafter referred
to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
Prior to 1995, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were probably removed from
a shell midden in the northern Puget
Sound region, WA, possibly from the
45–SK–7 archaeological site in Skagit
County, WA. These human remains
were identified in 1995 while
completing an inventory for NAGPRA
compliance. These human remains and
associated funerary object were found in
a box with a yellow Post-It note with
‘‘45–SK–7?’’ written on it. Also in the
box were four human bones, one from
King County and three from Siberia,
identified by the catalog numbers
written on them. While there is no
known concrete documentation
indicating the human remains were ever
removed from 45–SK–7, human remains
have been found in adjacent sites, and
are commonly found in shell middens
in the northern Puget Sound region.
These human remains and funerary
object are consistent with other burials
from this area, therefor the Burke
Museum feels these are most likely from
that region. The Burke Museum is
unable to make a cultural affiliation due
to the lack of context and exact location
information from which the burial was
removed. Site 45–SK–7 is located on
State Parks land. No known individuals
were identified. The one associated
funerary object is a lot of animal bone,
shell and wood.
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on
osteological evidence and museum
collecting and accessioning history.
• 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 one lot of objects described in this
notice is 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), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary object and any
present-day Indian tribe.
• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or
Executive Orders, indicate that the land
from which the Native American human
remains and associated funerary object
were removed is the aboriginal land of
The Tribes. The Treaty of Point Elliot
was signed on January 22, 1855 by
representatives from The Tribes whose
ceded aboriginal land includes the
northern Puget Sound region.
• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains and
one associated funerary object may be to
The Tribes.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
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 and associated funerary
object should submit a written request
with information in support of the
request to Peter Lape, Burke Museum,
University of Washington, Box 353010,
Seattle, WA 98195, telephone (206)
685–3849x2, plape@uw.edu.by February
8, 2016. After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains and
associated funerary object to The Tribes
may proceed.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying The Tribes that this notice has
been published.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1966, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Fisher-Hong Site,
about a mile south of the village of Knik,
on the edge of an unnamed creek
draining White Lake, Alaska, during
legally authorized excavations by
archeologists from the University of
Oregon. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Based on archeological context and
skeletal morphology, the individual
described above is determined to be
Native American. Based on
provenience, the Native American
human remains are reasonably believed
to be affiliated with the Knik Tribe.
Historical documents, ethnographic
sources, and oral history indicate that
the Knik people have occupied Knik
Arm since pre-contact times.
Determinations Made by the University
of Oregon Museum of Natural and
Cultural History
Officials of the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
