affiliated to the Klamath. 

In 1967, human remains representing 

a minimum of 93 individuals were 

removed from the Nightfire Island site

fragments, 2 pestle fragments, 1 

whetstone, and 1 novaculite slab. 

Additional funerary objects were 

excavated, but were stolen before they 

could be accessioned into museum 

collections. 

The human remains are determined to 

be Native American based on 

archeological context and the character 

of the associated funerary objects. The 

associated funerary objects date the 

burials to within the 2,500 years prior 

to Euro-American contact. The human 

remains are reasonably believed to be 

culturally affiliated to the Klamath or 

Modoc. 

In 1978, human remains representing 

one individual were removed from 

archeological site 35KL95, along 

Highway 140, east of the town of Beatty, 

Klamath County, OR, during 

excavations by University of Oregon 

staff. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Based on archeological context, the 

human remains are determined to be 

Native American. The human remains 

are reasonably believed to be culturally 

affiliated to the Klamath, Modoc, or 

Yahooskin. 

Historical documents, ethnographic 

sources, and oral history indicate that 

the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin 

have occupied south-central Oregon and 

northeastern California since precontact 

times. Archeological context and/or 

skeletal evidence indicates that the 

above mentioned human remains are 

Native American, and of possible 

Klamath, Modoc, or Yahooskin cultural 

affiliation. Descendants of the Klamath, 

Modoc, and Yahooskin are members of 

the Klamath Tribes, Oregon and Modoc 

Tribe of Oklahoma. The Klamath Tribes, 

Oregon have taken the lead on 

repatriation of Native American human 

remains from the areas described above 

that are culturally affiliated with the 

Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin. 

Officials of the Oregon State Museum 

of Anthropology have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 143 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Oregon State 

Museum of Anthropology have also 

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

3001 (3)(A), the 1,366 objects described 

above are 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. Lastly, officials of the Oregon 

State Museum of Anthropology 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 Klamath Tribes, Oregon 

and Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Dr. Pamela Endzweig, Director 

of Collections, Oregon State Museum of 

Anthropology, 1224 University of 

Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403–1224, 

telephone (541) 346–5120, before March 

4, 2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Klamath Tribes, Oregon may 

proceed after that date if no additional 

claimants come forward. 

Oregon State Museum is responsible 

for notifying Klamath Tribes, Oregon 

and Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma that this 

notice has been published.
