Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Representatives from Western
Washington University worked at 45–
WH–17 in both 1973 and 1977. Dr.
Garland Grabert directed a summer field
school at the site in 1973. In 1977,
Western Washington University entered
a contract (C530–695–02) with the city
of Blaine, WA, to conduct salvage in
conjunction with the construction of the
sewage treatment facility. Operations
began in June and continued through
the end of August 1977. One burial was
recovered at 45–WH–17 in 1973 and a
total of 40 burials were recovered during
the 1977 project. All the known burials
and associated funerary objects in the
WWU collections from the 1973 and
1977 work were repatriated to the
Lummi Nation in the early 1980’s.
During the WWU NAGPRA
compliance efforts in 1995, closer
examination of faunal remains from 45–
WH–17 resulted in numerous additional
fragments of human bone being
recognized. These human remains were
listed in the original 1995 WWU
NAGPRA Inventory and they, too, were
repatriated to the Lummi Nation, upon
their request in 2001. During the recent
rehousing project described above, one
additional human remain was identified
from the 45–WH–17 collection and it is
described below. No known individuals
were identified. No hazardous
chemicals are known to have been used
to treat the human remains while in the
custody of WWU.
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains described in this notice.
Determinations
The WWU has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and the Lummi Tribe of the Lummi
Reservation and the Nooksack Indian
Tribe.

organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after November 14,
2024. If competing requests for
