Management and Budget’s approved 

market valuation methodology and, if 

applicable, adjusted by immediate

property. The itemized cost of 

immediate repairs shall adhere to HUD’s 

Post-Closing Repair Requirements form 

HUD–9552.

bid percentage for any pool of loans or 

individual loan, upon the closing of the 

sales of all the Mortgage Loans.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: Saint 

Martin’s Waynick Museum, Lacey, WA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the possession of the Saint 

Martin’s Waynick Museum, Lacey, WA. 

The human remains were removed from 

a site near Vantage, Kittitas County, 

WA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Saint Martin’s 

Waynick Museum professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; and Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from a site 

near Vantage, by the Interstate–90 

Bridge, in Kittitas County, WA. Around 

1995, Mr. Willis Clark donated the 

human remains to the Saint Martin’s 

Waynick Museum, along with his 

collection of cut and polished rocks. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The remains of this individual consist 

of a partly fragmented cranium, a 

mandible broken into three pieces, eight 

unattached teeth, and skull fragments. 

On August 18, 2006, Dr. Stephen 

Fulton, Associate Professor of Biology at 

Saint Martin’s University, concluded 

that the human remains in question 

match notes on an index card that was 

in the same box as the remains. The 

note states, ‘‘This skull and bones found 

in shallow grave some 20 years ago on 

the bank of the Columbia River, about 

5 miles from old Vantage bridge. The 

area is under water at present.’’ 

Ethnographic documentation 

indicates that the Vantage area was the 

aboriginal territory of the MosesColumbia or Sinkiuse, Yakama, and 

Wanapum (Daugherty 1973, Miller 

1998, Mooney 1896, Ray 1936, Spier 

1936), whose descendants are 

represented today by the Confederated 

Tribes of the Colville Reservation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes and 

Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; and Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group. 

Officials of the Saint Martin’s 

Waynick Museum have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Saint Martin’s Waynick 

Museum also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 161 / Friday, August 21, 2009 / Notices 42321 

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and the Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Brother Luke Devine, 

Saint Martin’s Waynick Museum, 5300 

Pacific Ave. SE., Lacey, WA 98503, 

telephone (360) 438–4458, before 

September 21, 2009. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Confederated 

Tribes of the Colville Reservation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes and 

Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; and Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group, 

as joint claimants, may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

Saint Martin’s Waynick Museum is 

responsible for notifying the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; and Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group, 

that this notice has been published.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: The 

Public Museum, Grand Rapids, MI 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of The Public 

Museum, Grand Rapids, MI. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from the Ada site, Kent 

County, MI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

was made by The Public Museum’s 

professional staff in consultation with 

the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and 

Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little 

River Band of Ottawa Indians, 

Michigan; and Little Traverse Bay Bands 

of Odawa Indians, Michigan. 

On unknown dates, human remains 

representing a minimum of 27 

individuals were removed from the 

south (west) bank of the Grand River at 

the Ada Michigan site (20KT35) in Kent 

County, MI, by Ruth Herrick and several 

other avocational archeologists. Starting 

in 1947, and continuing in 1949, 1974, 

1983 and 1994, the human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

obtained by The Public Museum by 

Herrick through purchase or donation. 

In 1974, the largest source of the 

collection came to the museum from Dr. 

Ruth Herrick by bequest. No known 

individuals were identified. The 6,404 

associated funerary objects are 61 

brooches and pins; 286 fragmented 

pipes; 44 silver crosses and fragments; 

55 gun flints; 318 metal fragments; 41 

copper kettle fragments; 10 strike-alights and fragments; 507 ceramic and 

glass shards; 122 projectile points; 25 

metal knives and fragments; 2 buttons; 

2,182 trade beads; 85 stone tools; 50 

nails; 27 buttons; 2 necklaces; 14 

earrings and fragments; 2 tacks; 17 sets 

of cloth and leather fragments; 16 

bracelets and fragments; 10 bullets; 867 

pottery shards; 4 copper hair pipes; 33 

spoons and fragments; 8 axes; 222 

animal bone fragments; 4 unmodified 

lithics; 11 fire cracked rocks; 5 copper 

kettles; 1 leather knife sheath; 1 mirror; 

2 forks; 31 shells and fragments; 8 shell 

beads; 1 bell; 12 turtle shell fragments; 

2 pendants; 6 thimbles; 3 rings; 3 wood 

fragments; 1,242 chert flakes; 1 horse 

shoe; 9 awls; 7 fossils; 4 fish hooks; 1 

penny dated 1888; 6 antler fragments; 2 

marbles; 5 metal spikes; 9 silver 

armbands; 1 silver gorget; 1 set of red 

ochre; 1 red ochre stained paint pot; 1 

coin dated 1885; 1 coin dated 1883; 1 

coin dated 1847; 1 coin dated 1820; 1 

coin dated 1825; 1 coin dated 1832; 1 

coin with date unknown; 3 bone gaming 

pieces; 1 bone comb; 1 George III peace 

medal; and 3 charcoal samples. 

Artifacts from this site are from two 

discrete time periods. The first is a 

prehistoric occupation (15th century), 

and the second time period is an 18th– 

19th century Native American 

occupation. Based on the site’s 

geographical location at the confluence 

of the Grand and Thornapple Rivers, 

archeological evidence indicates this 

site was intermittently occupied from 

prehistoric times into the historic era, 

including a trading post operated by Rix 

Robinson in the vicinity of this site 

(1821 to 1834). Based on field notes, 

collection records, and artifact typology, 

the majority of the human remains and 

associated artifacts date to the 18th and 

19th century. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects are, by a preponderance 

of the evidence, found to have an 

affiliation to the Little River Band of 

Ottawa Indians. Many Little River 

Ottawa Band members are descendants 

of Grand River Band members who 

migrated from the Grand River area to 

the Little Manistee River area in more 

recent historic times. The historic 

occupation of Kent County, MI, by the 

Little River Bands of Ottawa Indians is 

well documented. 

Officials of The Public Museum have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of 27 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of The 

Public Museum also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), 

the 6,404 associated funerary objects 

described above are reasonably believed 

to have been placed with or near 

individual remains at the time of death 

or later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony. Lastly, officials of The Public 

Museum have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is 

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects and the 

Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, 

Michigan. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Marilyn Merdzinski, Director of 

Collections and Preservation, The 

Public Museum, 272 Pearl St. NW., 

Grand Rapids, MI 49504, telephone 

(616) 456–3521, before September 21, 

2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Little River Band of Ottawa 

Indians, Michigan may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Public Museum is responsible for 

notifying the Grand Traverse Band of 

Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, 

Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa 

Indians, Michigan; and Little Traverse 

Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan 

that this notice has been published.
