SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under the control of 

the University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History, Eugene, 

OR. The human remains were removed 

from Lake County, OR. 

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. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by University of 

Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 

History professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Burns Paiute Tribe (previously listed as 

the Burns Paiute Tribe of the Burns 

Paiute Indian Colony of Oregon); 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; Fort 

Bidwell Indian Community of the Fort 

Bidwell Reservation of California; and 

Klamath Tribes (hereafter referred to as 

‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing one individual were 

removed from an unknown location and 

donated to the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

by a private donor in 1934. While 

museum records do not identify exact 

provenience for the human remains, the 

donor was a resident of Lakeview, in 

Lake County, OR, and it is reasonably 

believed that the human remains were 

removed from that vicinity. The human 

remains consist of an adult male 

(museum cat. #11–6). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from a 

location in agricultural fields 

‘‘approximately nine miles due west of 

Lakeview and one half mile south of the 

Klamath Falls-Lakeview Highway,’’ in 

Lake County, OR. The human remains 

were initially encountered during 

plowing, and were donated to the 

University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History in 1949. 

The human remains consist of an adult 

male (museum cat. #11–219). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were donated to the Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

by an unknown individual. Museum 

documentation indicates that the human 

remains were likely removed from ‘‘N. 

Lakeview,’’ located in Lake County, OR. 

The human remains consist of an adult 

of indeterminate sex (no museum 

catalog number assigned). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

The human remains from the above 

locations are determined to be Native 

American based on burial context and/ 

or skeletal evidence. Historical 

documents, ethnographic sources, and 

oral history indicate that The Tribes 

have occupied the area of Lakeview, OR, 

area since pre-contact times. Based on 

museum records, the human remains 

are reasonably believed to be culturally 

affiliated with The Tribes. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Oregon Museum of Natural and 

Cultural History 

Officials of the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• 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 The Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit 

a written request with information in 

support of the request to Dr. Pamela 

Endzweig, Director of Collections, 

University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History, 1224 

University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 

97403–1224, telephone (541) 346–5120, 

email endzweig@uoregon.edu, by 

October 10, 2018. After that date, if no 

additional requestors have come 

forward, transfer of control of the 

human remains to The Tribes may 

proceed. 

The University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History is 

responsible for notifying The Tribes that 

this notice has been published.
