Island by Sue Frewing, who
accompanied her father there as a child.
According to Frewing, at that time, the
entire island was fully accessible by
boat, as The Dalles Dam had not yet
been constructed. On March 31, 1986,
the human remains were donated to the
High Desert Museum by Sue Frewing.
The one associated funerary object is
one lot consisting of loose beads,
buttons, shells, and sand.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from Wasco County, OR/Klickitat
County, WA. The human remains were
removed from Memaloose Island and
donated to the High Desert Museum at
an unknown date. 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,
geographical, historical, and oral
traditional.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, High Desert Museum has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of two individuals of Native
American ancestry.

described in this notice is 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.

group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
the associated funerary object described

of the Warm Springs Reservation of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Amendment
This notice amends the
determinations for the Dennis site, in
Menands, Albany County, NY, that were
published in the Federal Register on
December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75659–75662).
In the interim, additional human
remains as well as associated funerary
objects were identified. Repatriation of
the items from the Dennis site listed in
the original Notice of Inventory
Completion has not occurred.
Human remains belonging to, at
minimum, eight individuals were
removed from the Dennis site, in
Menands, Albany County, NY;
previously, only seven were identified.
The human remains were removed
during salvage excavations conducted
by Mr. R. Arthur Johnson and others,
after the site was disturbed by mining
activity. The 123 associated funerary
objects are 120 fragments of animal bone
and three unmodified stones;
previously, none were identified.
The Dennis site is located within
traditional Mohican territory.
Archeological evidence indicates it was
occupied intermittently from the Late
Archaic through Late Woodland
periods. The human remains and
associated funerary objects listed in this
notice most likely date to the later
occupation.
