Additional information on the determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the inventory or related records held by the Burke Museum. Description Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from a cave in Thomas Bay, AK, by Floyd Schmoe, who donated them to the Burke Museum (Burke Accession #2439). The human remains belong to an infant whose head is covered in red ochre. No known individual was identified. The six funerary objects are one wood box with metal handles, one piece of basketry matting with attached leather handles, one lot of cordage, one lot of fur, one animal hide, and one wool tunic with Chinese coins attached. The funerary objects and burial characteristics indicate a relatively recent, historic era burial. The style of the wool tunic is consistent with Tlingit traditional garments. It was often considered a sign of wealth or status to use trade materials, in particular Chinese coins, to embellish Tlingit clothing. During consultation, genetic analysis was requested to confirm that the human remains are of Native American ancestry. The results of the analysis showed that the individual’s mitochondrial DNA belongs to subhaplogroup A2, which indicates Native American ancestry through the maternal line. Haplogroup A is the most common form of mitochondrial DNA in Native Americans in southeast Alaska (Kemp & Schurr, 2010). Thomas Bay is located north of the town of Petersburg on the Alaskan mainland, and it lies within the aboriginal territory of the southern coast Tlingit Stikine (De Laguna 1990:204). According to local oral history, Thomas PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2123 Bay was the location of two village sites that were destroyed and abandoned due to natural disaster and disease. Information provided during consultation indicates that the surviving residents of these villages relocated to Petersburg and are represented today by the Petersburg Indian Association. Cultural Affiliation The human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice are connected to one or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were used to reasonably trace the relationship: anthropological, archeological, biological, geographical, historical, oral traditional, and other relevant information. Determinations Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the Burke Museum has determined that: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. • The six 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. • There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Petersburg Indian Association.
