Museum of Natural and Cultural History
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Burns Paiute
Tribe (previously listed as the Burns
Paiute Tribe of the Burns Paiute Indian
Colony of Oregon); Confederated Tribes
of the Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon; and Klamath Tribes (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from a
location near Chewaucan Marsh, in
Lake County, OR, during excavations for
irrigation ditches. In 1969, the human
remains were donated to the University
of Oregon Museum of Natural and
Cultural History by a private party. The
human remains consist of an adult male
(museum catalog #11–518). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from an
unknown site probably located near the
Chewaucan River, in Lake County, OR,
as noted on the box in which they were
stored, and were donated to the
University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History by a
private party. The human remains
consist of two adults of indeterminate
sex (no museum catalog number
assigned). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown site, possibly from the vicinity
of Paisley, in Lake County, OR,
according to the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History

consist of an adult male (museum
catalog #11–424). No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In November 1932, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from an
unknown site near Abert Rim, in Lake
County, OR. The human remains were
encountered during highway
construction by the Oregon State
Highway Commission. Subsequently,
the human remains were transferred to
the University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History. The
human remains consist of one adult
female, an adult of indeterminate sex
(both under museum catalog
#11–7), and an adult male (museum
catalog #11–8). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In June 1934, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from sites
near Abert and Summer Lakes, in Lake
County, OR. The human remains were
possibly removed by University of
Oregon archeologists, and consist of two
adult males (museum catalog #s 11–33
and 11–35) and an adolescent of
indeterminate sex (museum catalog
#11–34). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1936, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a location probably near
Paisley, in Lake County, OR, during
highway construction by the Oregon
State Highway Commission.
Subsequently, the human remains were
transferred to at the University of
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural
History. Although a camel skull was
also included in the accession (acc. #
200F), no information exists to associate
it with the human remains. The human
remains consist of an adult female
(museum catalog #11–49). No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1938, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from a site located near
Highway 31 and Summer Lake, in Lake
County, OR, during road construction.
The human remains were then donated
to the University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History by a
private party. The human remains
consist of one adult female and two
adult males (recorded together under
museum catalog #11–86). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1939, human remains representing,
at minimum, four individuals were
removed from sites on ZX Ranch, in
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703

Lake County, OR, during legally
authorized excavations by University of
Oregon archeologists. According to field
notes on file, three of the individuals
were recovered from looters’ back-dirt.
These three sets of human remains
consist of one adult female and two
adult males (museum catalog #s 11–102
and 11–103). A fourth set of human
remains was found beside a road to 5Mile-Butte according to the field
catalog. These human remains consist of
a single adult female (museum catalog
#11–101). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from near
Silver Lake, in Lake County, OR. The
human remains were subsequently
donated to the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
by a private party in 1940. The human
remains consist of a single adult of
indeterminate sex (museum catalog
#11–136). No known individual was
identified. The four associated funerary
objects are four fossilized animal bones.
In 1947, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a site located near the
mouth of Silver Creek at Silver Lake, in
Lake County, OR, during legally
authorized excavations by University of
Oregon archeologists. The human
remains were partially exposed at the
time of removal according to field
records. The human remains consist of
a single adult male (museum catalog
#11–213). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Historical documents, ethnographic
sources, and oral history indicate that
Northern Paiute people have occupied
the south-central Oregon area since precontact times. The human remains from
the above-mentioned locations are
determined to be Native American
based on archeological context and/or
skeletal evidence and Northern Paiute
based on provenience. The Northern
Paiute are represented today by The
Tribes.
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

by University of Oregon archeologists. The human remains were partially
exposed at the time of removal according to field records. The human
remains consist of a single adult male (museum catalog #11-213). No
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are
present.
Historical documents, ethnographic sources, and oral history
indicate that Northern Paiute people have occupied the south-central
Oregon area since pre-contact times. The human remains from the above-
mentioned locations are determined to be Native American based on
archeological context and/or skeletal evidence and Northern Paiute
based on provenience. The Northern Paiute are represented today by The
Tribes.
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 human remains described
in this notice represent the physical remains of 20 individuals of
Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the four objects
described in this notice
[[Page 45666]]
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 Tribes.
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 and associated
