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 objects under the control of
Central Washington University,
Ellensburg, WA, and the Thomas Burke
Memorial Washington State Museum,
University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
near the Sultan River near the city of
Sultan, Snohomish 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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Central
Washington University and Burke
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (previously
listed as Snoqualmie Tribe, Washington)
and the Tulalip Tribes of Washington
(previously listed as Tulalip Tribes of
the Tulalip Reservation, Washington).
History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed from near the
Sultan River, a branch of the Skykomish
River, near the city of Sultan in
Snohomish County, WA. The human
remains and associated funerary objects
were removed by Mr. Dennis Osier and
Mr. Robert Franz and donated to the
Burke Museum in 1966 (Burke Accn.
#1966–75). In 1974, the Burke Museum
legally transferred the human remains to
Central Washington University (CWU
Accn. BN). No known individuals were
identified. The 15 funerary objects are
one leather shoe, one shell button, one
lot of wool fragments, and 12 rusted
nails. The funerary objects are still in
the possession of the Burke Museum.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on osteological and archeological
evidence. The presence of copper
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

staining on the human remains is
consistent with historic Native
American burial practices in this area.
The city of Sultan is situated at the
confluence of the Skykomish and Sultan
Rivers and was previously the site of a
large permanent Skykomish village.
Information provided during
consultations, as well as historical and
anthropological sources, indicate that
the area around Sultan is within the
traditional territory of the Skykomish
and Snohomish (Haeberlin and Gunther,
1930; Hollenbeck, 1987). Ruby and
Brown (1986), Suttles (1990) and Spier
(1936) associate the area around the
Sultan River with the Skykomish.
Mooney (1896) associates the area
around the Sultan River with the
Snohomish. The Skykomish and
Snohomish people relocated to the
Tulalip Reservation per the Point Elliot
Treaty of 1855. The present-day Tulalip
Tribes of Washington are the successors
in interest to the Skykomish and
Snohomish.
Determinations Made by Central
Washington University and the Burke
Museum
Officials of Central Washington
University and the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 15 objects described in this notice
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 Tulalip Tribes of Washington
(previously listed as Tulalip Tribes of
the Tulalip Reservation, Washington).
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
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Lourdes Henebry-DeLeon,

items under the control of the John

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

ADDRESSES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In the early 1900’s, 5,816 cultural
items were removed from in and around
the city of Sheboygan in Sheboygan
County, WI. The items were removed by
Sheboygan Jeweler Rudolph Kuehne.
After his death, they were sold to the
Kohler Foundation in the late 1920’s by
Kuehne’s widow. The collection was
packed away and not studied until 1968
when it was examined by John Michael
Kohler Arts Center in connection with
an exhibition. Kohler Foundation gifted
the collection to the John Michael Arts
Center on August 15, 1974.
The 5,816 cultural items include
2,717 stone points and stone point
fragments, 1,165 scrapers/scraper
fragments, seven stone hand axes, 130
stone celts/hammerstones, 97 grooved
stone hammers/axe heads, 17 stone
gorgets, eight stone beads, 59 gaming
stones, one stone implement club, one
stone pestle, 93 stone sinkers/weights,
two stone bar amulets, 213 copper
points, 16 copper blades, 531 copper
awls/needles, 147 copper hooks, 307
copper preforms/floats/modified

eight small clay vessels (<6″ dia.), 15
medium clay vessels (6″–12″ dia.), one
large clay vessel (>12″ dia.), 49 boxes of
pottery fragments (each box approx. 3″
x 12″ x 9″), 86 clay pottery fragments,
PO 00000

one clay animal effigy, six boxes of
geology/plant specimens (each box
approx. 3″ x 12″ x 9″), seven beaded
belts/saches, one beaded pouch/bag, one
beaded footwear (pair), two beaded
bands, and three beaded necklaces.
Consultation with Eben Crawford,
Curator and NAGPRA Assistant for the
Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, supports
determination that the objects listed in
this notice are cultural items. According
to Mr. Crawford ‘‘The aforementioned
objects currently in the possession of
the John Michael Kohler Arts Center are
either identified by accession
information as belonging to the Tribe or
were collected in the area the Tribe and
its ancestors historically inhabited.’’
Determinations Made by the John
Michael Kohler Arts Center
Officials of the John Michael Kohler
Arts Center have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the 5,816 cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the objects of cultural
patrimony and the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to

claimants have come forward, transfer

patrimony to the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska may proceed.
