ADDRESSES:
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 University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History, Eugene,
OR. The human remains were removed
from Lincoln County, OR.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by University of
Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural
History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of
Oregon (previously listed as the
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation) and the Confederated
Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community
of Oregon.
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Yachats,
in Lincoln County, OR. The human
remains were donated to the University
of Oregon Museum of Natural and
Cultural History by a private party (acc.
#100JT). The human remains consist of
a single adult male (cat. #11–252). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Catalog records indicate a general
provenience for the human remains near
Yachats. The human remains are
determined to be Native American
based on skeletal evidence.
In 1959, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed near Yachats, in Lincoln
County, OR, during construction of the
Adobe Motel. The human remains were
donated to the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
by a private party in the same year (acc.
#185). The human remains consist of a
single adult female (cat. #11–315). No

known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on skeletal evidence and
archeological context, the human
remains are determined to be Native
American.
Historical documents, ethnographic
sources, and oral history indicate that
the Alsea people have occupied the
Yachats area since pre-contact times.
Based on museum records of
provenience, the human remains are
reasonably believed to be Alsea.
Descendants of the Alsea are members
of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians of Oregon (previously listed as
the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation).
In September 1960, human remains
representing, at minimum, five
individuals were removed from
Waldport, in Lincoln County, OR,
during legally authorized excavations by
archeologists from the University of
Oregon. The human remains were
discovered during the construction of
the Jolly Rogers Hotel. The human
remains were transferred to the museum
in 1961 (acc. #221) and consist of four
adults, two males and two females (cat.
#11–408) and a youth of indeterminate
sex (cat. #11–407). No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Historic archeological material was
found with the human remains, but not
donated to the museum. The human
remains are determined to be Native
American based on archeological
context. Based on provenience, the
human remains are reasonably believed
to be Alsea or Yaquina. Descendants of
the Alsea and Yaquina are members of
the Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians of Oregon (previously listed as
the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz
Reservation).
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the south
point of Depoe Bay, in Lincoln County,
OR, during septic tank excavations. The
human remains were donated to the
University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History by a
private party at some point likely in the
1980s (no acc. #). The human remains
consist of a single adult male (cat. #11–
522). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Historical documents, ethnographic
sources, and oral history indicate that
the Siletz people have occupied the
Depoe Bay area since pre-contact times.
The human remains are determined to
be Native American based on
archeological contest and skeletal
evidence. Based on provenience, the

52526

human remains are reasonably believed
to be Siletz. Descendants of the Siletz
are members of the Confederated Tribes
of Siletz Indians of Oregon (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Siletz Reservation).
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 eight
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 Confederated Tribes of
Siletz Indians of Oregon (previously
listed as the Confederated Tribes of the
Siletz Reservation).

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Chemehuevi
Indian Tribe of the Chemehuevi
Reservation, California and the TwentyNine Palms Band of Mission Indians of
California.
The Colorado River Indian Tribes of
the Colorado River Indian Reservation,
Arizona and California, and the Fort
Mojave Indian Tribe of Arizona,
California, & Nevada were invited to
consult but did not participate.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1968, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Mitchell Caverns (CA–
SBR–117) in San Bernardino, CA. The
human remains were uncovered during
a construction project in El Pakiva cave,
and were collected by Park Supervisor
Frank L. Fairchild. The human remains
were sent from Mitchell Caverns State
Reserve to the California Department of
Parks and Recreation headquarters in
Sacramento, CA on May 29, 1968, where
they were cataloged. The human
remains consist of a mandible of a
juvenile, aged 8–9 years. No known
individuals were identified. The 10
associated funerary objects are: One
sheep scapula, one bone needle, two
bone awls, two bone tools, two bifaces,
one abalone shell, and one lot of acorn
fragments.
It is estimated that El Pakiva cave was
used from A.D. 500 until historic
contact. There is no known date for the
human remains removed from the cave.
The cave’s geographic affiliation and
archeological context are consistent
with the historically documented
Chemehuevi. Archeological and
linguistic evidence suggest the ancestral
Chemehuevi were present in the area by
A.D. 1000 to 1200, and perhaps even
earlier. Based on consultation with the
Tribes of the region and the historic
circumstances of the relationship
between the historic Chemehuevi and
Mojave peoples, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
Committee on Repatriation determined
