History and Description of the Remains
Sometime between the late 1940s and
the late 1970s, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from the
Rolling Bay site on Sitkalidak Island,
which is located near Kodiak Island,
AK, by William Laughlin. During these
years, Laughlin was associated with
several universities. The remains of
these individuals were found at the
Museum of Anthropological
Archaeology at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, where, at an
unknown date, they had been sent as
part of a study on Eastern Aleutian
archeology undertaken in collaboration
with faculty member Ted P. Bank, II. In
2014, these human remains were
transferred to the Bureau of Land
Management in Anchorage, AK, and in
late 2018, the BLM transferred them to
the University Museum of the North,
Fairbanks, AK, where they are currently
housed. The human remains, comprised
of eight teeth, belong to three adults of
unknown sex. No known individuals

were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
At minimum, the burials containing
the three individuals were over 200
years old (their actual age unknown).
The human remains are determined to
be Native American based on their
provenience (Sitkalidak Island, AK),
physical condition, and morphology.
Archeological and oral traditional
information suggest many thousands of
years of shared ancestry between
current and past populations of the area
and Alutiiq peoples’ use of Sitkalidak
Island, near Kodiak Island. Therefore,
the human remains are determined to be
directly related to Kodiak Island Alutiiq
people represented by the Alutiiq Tribe
of Old Harbor.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Land Management, Alaska State Office
Federal Agency Officials of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Land Management, Alaska State Office
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
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 Alutiiq Tribe of Old
Harbor [previously listed as Native
Village of Old Harbor and Village of Old
Harbor].
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 should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Robert E. King,
