History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime before 1931, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

ground surface in an unknown location 

in western North Dakota. According to 

museum records, the human remains 

were collected by Dr. James Grassick of 

North Dakota, and were donated to the 

museum in October 1931. No known 

individuals were identified. The one 

associated funerary object is one metal 

projectile point, which was embedded 

in the human remains. 

Determinations Made by the State 

Historical Society of North Dakota 

Officials of the State Historical 

Society of North Dakota have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the

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. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

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; and Klamath Tribes (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from a 

location near Chewaucan Marsh, in 

Lake County, OR, during excavations for 

irrigation ditches. In 1969, the human 

remains were donated to the University 

of Oregon Museum of Natural and 

Cultural History by a private party. The 

human remains consist of an adult male 

(museum catalog #11–518). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, two 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown site probably located near the 

Chewaucan River, in Lake County, OR, 

as noted on the box in which they were 

stored, and were donated to the 

University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History by a 

private party. The human remains 

consist of two adults of indeterminate 

sex (no museum catalog number 

assigned). No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown site, possibly from the vicinity 

of Paisley, in Lake County, OR, 

according to the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

record book. The human remains were 

donated to the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

by a private party. The human remains 

consist of an adult male (museum 

catalog #11–424). No known individual 

was identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In November 1932, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown site near Abert Rim, in Lake 

County, OR. The human remains were 

encountered during highway 

construction by the Oregon State 

Highway Commission. Subsequently, 

the human remains were transferred to 

the University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History. The 

human remains consist of one adult 

female, an adult of indeterminate sex 

(both under museum catalog 

#11–7), and an adult male (museum 

catalog #11–8). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In June 1934, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from sites 

near Abert and Summer Lakes, in Lake 

County, OR. The human remains were 

possibly removed by University of 

Oregon archeologists, and consist of two 

adult males (museum catalog #s 11–33 

and 11–35) and an adolescent of 

indeterminate sex (museum catalog 

#11–34). No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1936, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from a location probably near 

Paisley, in Lake County, OR, during 

highway construction by the Oregon 

State Highway Commission. 

Subsequently, the human remains were 

transferred to at the University of 

Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural 

History. Although a camel skull was 

also included in the accession (acc. # 

200F), no information exists to associate 

it with the human remains. The human 

remains consist of an adult female 

(museum catalog #11–49). No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

In 1938, human remains representing, 

at minimum, three individuals were 

removed from a site located near 

Highway 31 and Summer Lake, in Lake 

County, OR, during road construction. 

The human remains were then donated 

to the University of Oregon Museum of 

Natural and Cultural History by a 

private party. The human remains 

consist of one adult female and two 

adult males (recorded together under 

museum catalog #11–86). No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1939, human remains representing, 

at minimum, four individuals were 

removed from sites on ZX Ranch, in 

Lake County, OR, during legally 

authorized excavations by University of 

Oregon archeologists. According to field 

notes on file, three of the individuals 

were recovered from looters’ back-dirt. 

These three sets of human remains 

consist of one adult female and two 

adult males (museum catalog #s 11–102 

and 11–103). A fourth set of human 

remains was found beside a road to 5- 

Mile-Butte according to the field 

catalog. These human remains consist of 

a single adult female (museum catalog 

#11–101). No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from near 

Silver Lake, in Lake County, OR. The 

human remains were subsequently 

donated to the University of Oregon 

Museum of Natural and Cultural History 

by a private party in 1940. The human 

remains consist of a single adult of 

indeterminate sex (museum catalog 

#11–136). No known individual was 

identified. The four associated funerary 

objects are four fossilized animal bones. 

In 1947, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from a site located near the 

mouth of Silver Creek at Silver Lake, in 

Lake County, OR, during legally 

authorized excavations by University of 

Oregon archeologists. The human 

remains were partially exposed at the 

time of removal according to field 

records. The human remains consist of 

a single adult male (museum catalog 

#11–213). No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Historical documents, ethnographic 

sources, and oral history indicate that 

Northern Paiute people have occupied 

the south-central Oregon area since precontact times. The human remains from 

the above-mentioned locations are 

determined to be Native American 

based on archeological context and/or 

skeletal evidence and Northern Paiute 

based on provenience. The Northern 

Paiute are represented today by 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 20 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the four objects described in this notice 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

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. 

• 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 Tribes.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written
