Description
All the human remains and associated

from Chemstrand, Harbor Island, in
Morgan County, AL (Soday site number
504). No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a lot consisting of faunal
remains, including turtle and bird.
The associated funerary objects listed
below were recently found at the
Gilcrease Museum. The human remains
with which these funerary objects are
associated (together with additional
associated funerary objects) were listed
in a notice published in the Federal
Register on September 20, 2016 (81 FR
64503–64505) and have since been
repatriated.
One associated funerary object was
removed from Limestone County, AL.
Most likely, this object was removed
from one of the following sites: 1LI27,
1LI49, 1LI52, or 1LI53 (Soday site

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,

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

Indian Reservation; and the
