History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, a human 

remain—a single human distal phalanx 

or thumb tip—representing a minimum 

of one individual was removed from an 

unknown location in Arkansas. The 

bone is perforated at the proximal end 

and was acquired by the Longyear 

Museum of Anthropology between 1948 

and 1979, and accessioned as part of the 

Howe Collection (Catalog number 

A234). The bone was subsequently 

assigned Index number 326 in the 

Colgate Collection database. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

The presence of other Native 

American artifacts in the Howe 

Collection at the Longyear Museum of 

Anthropology provides a reasonable 

basis for determining that the human 

remain belongs to a Native American 

individual. 

Determinations Made by the Longyear 

Museum of Anthropology 

Officials of the Longyear Museum of 

Anthropology have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remain and 

any present-day Indian tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission, the land 

from which the Native American human 

remain was removed is the aboriginal 

land of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; 

Osage Nation, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe 

of Indians, Oklahoma; and United 

Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in 

Oklahoma. 

• Other credible lines of evidence 

indicate that the land from which the 

Native American human remain was 

removed is the aboriginal land of the 

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; Osage 

Nation, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe of 

Indians, Oklahoma; United Keetoowah 

Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma; 

and Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe of 

Louisiana. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remain described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remain is to 

the Osage Nation, Oklahoma, and the 

Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remain or any 

other Indian tribe that believes it 

satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1) should contact Dr. Jordan 

Kerber, Longyear Museum of 

Anthropology, Department of Sociology 

and Anthropology, Colgate University, 

13 Oak Dr., Hamilton, NY 13346, 

telephone (315) 228–7559, before 

September 7, 2011. Disposition of the 

human remain to the Osage Nation, 

Oklahoma, and the Quapaw Tribe of 

Indians, Oklahoma, may proceed after 

that date if no additional requestors 

come forward. 

The Longyear Museum of 

Anthropology is responsible for 

notifying the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma; Osage Nation, Oklahoma; 

Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; 

United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee 

Indians in Oklahoma; and Tunica-Biloxi 

Indian Tribe of Louisiana that this 

notice has been published.

with representatives of the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Chehalis Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian

Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho; 

Shoalwater Bay Tribe of the Shoalwater 

Bay Indian Reservation, Washington; 

and the Spokane Tribe of the Spokane 

Reservation, Washington (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). The Slater 

Museum of Natural History, University 

of Puget Sound also consulted with the 

following non-Federally recognized 

Indian groups: the Chinook Tribe and 

the Wanapum Band (hereinafter referred 

to as ‘‘The Indian Groups’’). 

The Slater Museum of Natural 

History, University of Puget Sound 

received a formal, joint intertribal 

NAGPRA claim for the individual 

described in this notice from the 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 

Reservation, Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation 

of Oregon; and the Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In May 1934, a human remain—a 

mandible—representing a minimum of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

48180 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 152 / Monday, August 8, 2011 / Notices 

one individual was likely removed from 

‘‘Columbia River, Wa.’’. This area of 

removal is based on information 

supplied by Stanley G. Jewett. Jewett 

donated many mammal and bird 

collections to the Slater Museum of 

Natural History. The mandible was part 

of Accession 483, which included all of 

the human remains given by Jewett to 

the Slater Museum. The mandible was 

reviewed by a physical anthropologist 

who noted the presence of a broad and 

wide ascending ramus and a straight 

mandibular border. These 

characteristics indicate that the 

individual is likely of Native American 

ancestry. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Jewett’s bird and mammal collecting 

catalogs (noted for their meticulousness) 

that are dated May 1934 indicate that he 

was on the Oregon Coast near the 

Columbia River during that time. His 

other catalog entries for that month were 

from the southeast Oregon region, away 

from the Columbia River. However, the 

remain is white in color, and it is the 

opinion of museum staff that it does not 

exhibit the darker coloration usually 

found on remains removed from burials 

west of the Cascade mountains; this may 

suggest the individual was removed 

from a location east of the Cascades. In 

general, Jewett traveled extensively and 

may have been almost anywhere on the 

Columbia River from the Canadian 

border to the Pacific Coast during May 

1934. While Jewett’s collecting catalogs 

indicate that he was working at the 

mouth of the Columbia River near the 

Washington coast during this time 

period, museum staff consider the 

coloration of the remain to suggest an 

origin east of the Cascades. 

Since it is not possible to determine 

specific provenience, museum officials 

reasonably believe that the removal was 

from somewhere along the Columbia 

River, likely from an area east of the 

Cascades (based on the bone coloration). 

This area encompasses 18 Washington 

State counties: Pacific, Wahkiakum, 

Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania, Klickitat, 

Benton, Walla Walla, Franklin, Yakima, 

Grant, Kittitas, Chelan, Douglas, 

Lincoln, Okanogan, Ferry, and Stevens. 

Determinations Made by the Slater 

Museum of Natural History, University 

of Puget Sound 

Officials of the Slater Museum of 

Natural History, University of Puget 

Sound have determined that: 

• Based on morphological 

characteristics and museum records, the 

human remains are Native American. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

any present-day Indian tribe. 

• Multiple lines of evidence, 

including treaties (e.g. Treaty of Camp 

Stevens), Acts of Congress, and 

Executive Orders, indicate that the land 

from which the Native American human 

remain was removed is the aboriginal 

and ceded land of The Tribes and The 

Indian Groups. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remain described in this notice 

represent the physical remain of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remain is to 

the Confederated Tribes and Bands of 

the Yakama Nation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 

Reservation, Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation 

of Oregon; and the Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Representatives of any Indian tribe 

that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remain or any 

other Indian tribe that believes it 

satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 

10.11(c)(1) should contact Peter 

Wimberger, Slater Museum of Natural 

History, University of Puget Sound, 

1500 North Warner St., Tacoma, WA 

98416–1088, telephone (253) 879–2784, 

before September 7, 2011. Disposition of 

the human remain to the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; and the 

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, may proceed
