individual is Native American. The
Tribes shared oral history tracing their
ancestry to the people of the Channel
Islands. In addition, the archeological
and ethnohistorical literature
demonstrate ancestral connections
between the Chumash, who inhabited
the Northern Channel Islands, and San
Nicholas Island. Also, the ethnographic
literature documents the presence of
Luiseno people in the Southern Channel
Islands, including San Nicholas Island.
On San Nicholas Island, the Tribes
would have interacted with the
Gabrielino/Tongva.

Museum of the American West
Officials of the Autry Museum of the
American West have determined that:

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Western
Kentucky University, Department of
Folk Studies and Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of The Chickasaw
Nation and the United Keetoowah Band
of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. The
Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Band
of Cherokee Indians were invited to
consult, but deferred to the consulted
Indian Tribes. In addition, the Muscogee
(Creek) Nation was invited to consult,
but did not participate.
History and Description of the Remains
During June–July 1978, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Site
15Fu305A in Fulton County, KY. The
human remains were recovered as part
of an archeological survey conducted by
Dr. Jack Schock of Western Kentucky
University for the Memphis District
Corps of Engineers in advance of a
proposed channelization project above
Lake 9, at Sassafras Ridge. Site
15Fu305A is located along the crest of
a ridge on property then owned by Mr.
James White. An area measuring about
50 ft (15 m) in diameter in an
agricultural field on a ridge spur at the
western edge of the multicomponent
site yielded human bones and
associated funerary objects from surface
contexts. All human bones and artifacts
visible on the surface were collected,
and have been at Western Kentucky
University since they were collected.
The human remains consist of eight
fragments of cranial and appendicular
skeletal elements belonging to an adult
male of indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified. The 17
associated funerary objects are five body
sherds of Baytown Plain, eight body
sherds of Neeley’s Ferry Plain, one grogtempered body sherd of unknown type,
and three body sherds of indeterminate
temper and unknown type. The
researchers interpreted the aboriginal
component at Site 15Fu305A as a
Mississippian period mortuary site

containing one–two internments
accompanied by at least two burial
vessels. The human remains and pottery
sherds subsequently were brought to the
surface by plowing.
In July 1978, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Sassafras Ridge site (15Fu3) in Fulton
County, KY. The human remains were
recovered as part of an undergraduate
archaeological field methods course
taught by Dr. Jack Schock of Western
Kentucky University. The Sassafras
Ridge site is located along the south
edge of a swampy lowland called Fish
Pond, about 3.5 km northeast of the
small community of Sassafras Ridge.
Listed in the National Register of
Historic Places under Criterion D in
1984, the Sassafras Ridge site is one of
several Mississippian mound centers in
Fulton and bordering counties of far
western Kentucky. The human remains
were collected from the surface on top
of the earthen mound at the Sassafras
Ridge site and consist of one partial
neurocranial bone belonging to an adult
of indeterminate sex. The human bone
has been at Western Kentucky
University since it was collected. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the
Department of Folk Studies and
Anthropology at Western Kentucky
University
Officials of the Department of Folk
Studies and Anthropology at Western
Kentucky University have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

are Native American based on context of
discovery and/or the associated funerary
objects.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
associated funerary objects and any
present-day Indian Tribe.
• According to final judgments of the
Indian Claims Commission or the Court
of Federal Claims, the land from which
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects were
removed is the aboriginal land of the
