Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown burial site along the
banks or islands of the Columbia River
near The Dalles, OR, and Wishram, WA.
In 1971, human remains represented by
a skull with lower jaw and 14 teeth—
belonging to an adult female were
donated to the Museum by Walter
Kinnersley. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from the banks of the
Columbia River near The Dalles, OR,
most likely ‘‘Memaloose Island.’’ At an
unknown date, a box containing the
human remains and associated funerary
objects was donated to the Museum by
an unknown individual. The human
remains represent a female of unknown

age and an individual of unknown age
and sex. No known individuals were
identified. The seven associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of
cloth (with yellow, pink and green
flowers), one lot consisting of leaves,
one lot consisting of soil, one lot
consisting of historic nails, one lot
consisting of shells, one lot consisting of
rocks, and one lot consisting of basketry.
Native American People from both
sides of the Columbia River utilized the
islands on the Columbia River bordering
the present-day states of Oregon and
Washington, in the north central
Columbia River Plateau region, for
burials, as well as sites located along
that river. Published ethnographic
documentation indicates that this area
was the aboriginal territory of the
Western Columbia River Sahaptins,
Wasco, Wishram, Yakima, Walla Walla,
Umatilla, Tenino, and Skin (Daugherty
1973, Hale 1841, Hunn and French
1998, Stern 1998, French and French
1998, Mooney 1896, Murdock 1938, Ray
1936 and 1974, Spier 1936).
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: geographical and
historical.

consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Wasco County/Dalles
City Museum Commission has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of three individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The seven 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 Confederated Tribes
and Bands of the Yakama Nation;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation; and the

Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 16 individuals were removed
from unknown locations in Michigan.
These ancestors arrived at the Forensic
Anthropology Laboratory (FAL) from
police authorities and private citizens
who had found human remains on their
property. At some point, likely in the
1960s and 1970s, these ancestors were
included in (former) teaching
collections and disassociated from case
and donation paperwork. As the FAL
only accepts cases from within
Michigan, these ancestors were most
likely removed from Michigan. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals (catalog
numbers 2007.77.4; 2007.77.5) were
removed from Kalamazoo County, MI.
On an unknown date, these individuals
were acquired by Kalamazoo County
resident, Donald Boudeman, who
collected Native American material
culture in the first half of the twentieth
century. In 1961, Boudeman’s wife,
Donna Boudeman, donated the human
remains together with Mr. Boudeman’s
collection to the Michigan State
University Museum. Database records
indicate these individuals were
recovered from a mound near
Vicksburg. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from a known geographic
location (Michigan). This location is the

aboriginal land of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
used to identify the aboriginal land:
treaties and a final judgment of the
Indian Claims Commission or the
United States Court of Claims.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, Michigan State
University has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 18 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and any
Indian Tribe.

Description
Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed
from an unknown burial site along the banks or islands of the Columbia
River near The Dalles, OR, and Wishram, WA. In 1971, human remains
represented by a skull with lower jaw and 14 teeth--belonging to an
adult female were donated to the Museum by Walter Kinnersley. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals were
removed from the banks of the Columbia River near The Dalles, OR, most
likely ``Memaloose Island.'' At an unknown date, a box containing the
human remains and associated funerary objects was donated to the Museum
by an unknown individual. The human remains represent a female of
unknown age and an individual of unknown age and sex. No known
individuals were identified. The seven associated funerary objects are
one lot consisting of cloth (with yellow, pink and green flowers), one
lot consisting of leaves, one lot consisting of soil, one lot
consisting of historic nails, one lot consisting of shells, one lot
consisting of rocks, and one lot consisting of basketry.
Native American People from both sides of the Columbia River
utilized the islands on the Columbia River bordering the present-day
states of Oregon and Washington, in the north central Columbia River
Plateau region, for burials, as well as sites located along that river.
Published ethnographic documentation indicates that this area was the
aboriginal territory of the Western Columbia River Sahaptins, Wasco,
Wishram, Yakima, Walla Walla, Umatilla, Tenino, and Skin (Daugherty
1973, Hale 1841, Hunn and French 1998, Stern 1998, French and French
1998, Mooney 1896, Murdock 1938, Ray 1936 and 1974, Spier 1936).
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: geographical and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Wasco County/Dalles City Museum Commission has
determined that:
The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of three individuals of Native American ancestry.
The seven 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 Confederated Tribes and Bands
of the Yakama Nation; Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation; and the
