DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural 

Item: Thomas Burke Memorial 

Washington State Museum, University 

of Washington, Seattle, 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. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate a cultural item in the 

possession of the Thomas Burke 

Memorial Washington State Museum 

(Burke Museum), University of 

Washington, Seattle, WA, that meets the 

definition of ‘‘object of cultural 

patrimony’’ under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

item. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The cultural item is a large stone 

sculpture (Burke catalog #152), referred 

to by the Chilliwack community, which 

includes the Nooksack people, as the 

‘‘Stone T’ixwelatsa.’’ The sculpture has 

anthropomorphic and zoomorphic 

features carved and pecked into the 

stone. The head includes large eyes and 

an open mouth with exaggerated lips. 

The main body of the figure appears to 

be seated with flexed arms and legs. A 

ridge with six protruding grooves is 

present on the back of the figure, and a 

small circular depression is present on 

the top of the head. The figure weighs 

over 100 pounds. 

According to Chilliwack and 

Nooksack oral history, T’ixwelatsa was 

a man turned into stone by the 

transformer Xa:ls. T’ixwelatsa was the 

first male ancestor of the Chilliwack 

community. The Chilliwack historically 

spoke a Nooksack related language. The 

Chilliwack share a common ancestry 

and cultural connection with the 

Nooksack. The sculpture is considered a 

transformation object that holds the 

spirit of T’ixwelatsa, and Xa:ls gave the 

transformed stone form to T’ixwelatsa’s 

wife as the original caretaker. The stone 

T’ixwelatsa was placed in front of the 

longhouse and cared for by the 

descendants of T’ixwelatsa. At an 

unknown date, one of the subsequent 

caretakers married into the neighboring 

Sumas tribe and took the stone with her 

as part of her continuing caretaking 

responsibilities. 

The cultural item is believed to have 

been removed from the Fraser Plains, 

near Sumas, Whatcom County, WA, in 

1892. It was donated to the museum by 

the Young Naturalist Society (Burke 

Accn. # 190). At the time of removal 

from the Fraser Plains, the cultural item 

was considered inalienable by a single 

individual and was removed without 

the permission of the caretaker or 

Tixwelatsa’s descendants. 

The Nooksack Indian Tribe of 

Washington is considered a member of 

the broader Chilliwack community, 

which includes both American and 

Canadian Chilliwack communities. Ties 

between the Chilliwack communities 

were artificially divided by the creation 

of the United States and Canadian 

border in 1858. Despite this separation, 

the Nooksack continue to maintain a 

strong relationship with the Canadian 

Chilliwack community. The ‘‘Stone 

T’ixwelatsa’’ is culturally affiliated with 

the Nooksack Indian Tribe of 

Washington, as part of the Chilliwack 

community, based on religious, 

geographic, kinship, and oral history 

information presented by the tribe. 

Evidence submitted during consultation 

supports the central importance of this 

cultural item to the cultural identity of 

the Nooksack Indian Tribe of 

Washington and broader Chilliwack 

community. The cultural item is 

considered collective property of the 

Chilliwack community and serves as a 

significant part of the cultural model for 

education. 

Officials of the Burke Museum have 

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

3001 (3)(D), the cultural item described 

above has an ongoing historical, 

traditional, or cultural importance 

central to the Native American group or 

culture itself, rather than property 

owned by an individual. Officials of the 

Burke Museum also 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 object of cultural patrimony 

and the Nooksack Indian Tribe of 

Washington. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the object of cultural 

patrimony should contact Dr. Peter 

Lape, Burke Museum, Box 353010, 

Seattle, WA 98195, telephone (206) 

685–2282, before September 18, 2006. 

Repatriation of the object of cultural 

patrimony to the Nooksack Indian Tribe 

of Washington may proceed after that 

date if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The Burke Museum is responsible for 

notifying the Nooksack Indian Tribe of 

Washington that this notice has been 

published.

you must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. In 

addition, you must present a rationale 

for withholding this information. This 

rationale must demonstrate that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, 

there is no cellular service in the 

Bullfrog Marina area, which receives 

over 200,000 visitors per year. The 

cellular antennas are to be installed on 

the exterior of the Defiance House 

Lodge. The Defiance House Lodge is a 

non-historic 48 room hotel in the 

Bullfrog developed area. The proposed 

site includes six 51 inch by 13 inch by 

3 inch rectangular panel antennas 

mounted on the fac ̧cade of the Defiance 

House Lodge and a nearby ground 

mounted associated radio equipment 

shielded by a cedar privacy fence 

matching existing fencing. The antenna 

panels do not visibly protrude above the 

roofline of the lodge and are painted to 

match the lodge color scheme. Neither 

the antennas nor the associated 

equipment will have any adverse effects 

on the area’s scenery or visual 

resources. The staff at Glen Canyon 

National Recreation Area has completed 

a review and analysis pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the National Historic 

Preservation Act, the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, and 

National Park Service requirements, 

policy and regulations. The NEPA 

analysis has determined that there will 

not be any adverse effects on the park’s 

natural or cultural resources resulting 

from this proposal; therefore, this 

project has been categorically excluded 

from further analysis under NEPA. 

Copies of the NEPA analysis will be 

available at Glen Canyon NRA, 691 

Scenic View Drive, Page, AZ 86040, or 

can be requested by writing to Glen 

Canyon NRA, Attention Stan Burman, 

PO Box 1507, Page, AZ 86040, or by

steel forging plant owned and operated 

by A. Finkl & Sons Company (A. Finkl)

proposed consent decree, A. Finkl will 

pay a civil penalty of $75,000. In

to perform two supplemental 

environmental projects: (1) A. Finkl will
