In 1960, Sanford Lord donated these
human remains to the Cowlitz County
Historical Museum along with the bulk
of his collection of Native American

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

Description
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown location. The human remains,
a bracelet made of human finger and toe
bones, were loaned to the State Teachers
College in Moorhead, MN, which would
later become the Clay County Historical
Society in Moorhead, MN, by Usher
Burdick. It was part of a larger
collection of Native American items
loaned by Burdick for display starting in
1930. In 1970, at the request of Quentin
Burdick (Usher’s son), the collection
was transferred to the Cass County
Historical Society, ND, for display in
their new Native American Museum
with full ownership. The finger bone
bracelet is mentioned in several early
inventories, but no other information is
given on how Usher Burdick received
the items. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Usher Burdick was a member of the
North Dakota State House of
Representatives from 1907 to 1911 and
served as Speaker in 1909. He was
Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota
from 1911 to 1913 and served as
assistant United States district attorney
for North Dakota from 1929 to 1932.
Burdick was a State Representative for
North Dakota from 1935 to 1944 and
again from 1949–1959. His service to
North Dakota led him to many
relationships with tribal leaders in
North and South Dakota who either gave
him or sold him Native American items.
We can only assume that these human
remains were given to him in the same
manner.
A physical examination of the human
remains by Phoebe Stubblefield,
Professor of Forensic Anthropology at
the University of North Dakota and Paul
Picha, Chief Anthropologist at the State
Historical Society of North Dakota
revealed some additional clues. They
confirmed the bones to be human and
the bracelet contains a combination of
first distal phalange from thumbs and
first toe and distal phalange from other
four digits. Stubblefield concluded that
the human remains had spent some time
buried and may have spent some time
on a scaffold. Each bone has had a
precise hole drilled suggesting a modern
drill bit. Both Stubblefield and Picha
estimate the age to be 100–150 years old
based on native customs and the

decomposition of the bones. Based on
the physical evidence, we could not
determine race or tribal affiliation.
Because of its inclusion in the Native
American collection given by Burdick
and his collecting habits, staff has
deduced that the human remains are
Native American remains from a North
Dakota or South Dakota Tribe.
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, Bonanzaville has
determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains
described in this notice and the
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the
Cheyenne River Reservation, South
Dakota; Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of the
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota;
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South
Dakota; Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of the
Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota;
