Abstract of Information Available
The 10 unassociated funerary objects
items consist of hide pieces, a flaked,
flat piece of soft slate or shale, pieces of
dried leather fragments (sewn or with
sewing holes), and strips of split spruce
(joined by a series of knots and twists,
fragment of knotted spruce roots, carved
wooden slat.
The 10 items were found in 1992
during a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
on-site investigation on Squire Island,
Chugach Census Area, Alaska at site
SEW–832. SEW–00832 was recorded as
an archaeological site which contains
both a habitation area under a rock
shelter and a burial cave. These artifacts
were housed with the BIA until they
were transferred to the Chugach
National Forest Supervisor’s Office on
October 25, 2019.
Determinations
The Chugach National Forest has
determined that:
• The 10 unassociated funerary
objects described in this notice are
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary objects have been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• The Native Village of Chenega (aka
Chenega) and Native Village of Tatitlek
have priority for disposition of the
cultural items described in this notice.
