SUMMARY:
Description
In October of 1949, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed by Sverre
Halvorsen Seabold from under a stump
while clearing a driveway on Bainbridge
Island, Kitsap County, WA. In January
of 1950, Sverre Halvorsen Seabold
donated the human remains to the
Burke Museum, University of
Washington, where they were assigned
accession no. 3578 and catalog no. 19–
13. In 1974, the Burke Museum legally
transferred the human remains and six
associated funerary objects to Central
Washington University, where they
were assigned accession ID Box BA. The
human remains consist of a cranium
and portions of the postcranial skeleton.
No known individuals were identified.
The six associated funerary objects are
four shell fragments and two small
animal bone fragments.
In 1958, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the ‘‘City Park’’
(Evergreen Park) in the city of
Bremerton, Kitsap, WA, by staff at
Olympic Jr. College (now Olympic
PO 00000

College). The human remains were sent
to the Burke Museum, University of
Washington and accessioned in 1963
(no. 1963–22). In 1974, the Burke
Museum legally transferred the human
remains to Central Washington
University, where they were assigned
CWU accession ID Box BC. On the
outside of the box containing these
human remains is written ‘‘Found in
City Park, Bremerton 1958.’’ No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
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: archeological,
biological, geographical, and historical.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, Central Washington
University has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals 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 Suquamish Indian
Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation.

Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the

notice to a requestor may occur on or
