Stillaguamish River in the vicinity of 

Stanwood, WA. The material was 

collected as part of the Jesup Expedition 

and subsequently accessioned at the 

AMNH. Biological and archeological 

evidence suggests that the individuals 

excavated by Smith lived sometime 

during the Prehistoric Period. The 15 

associated funerary objects are four 

shells, including a mussel shell; one 

stone; two grit stones; one stone pestle; 

two antler wedges; one piece of antler; 

one bone implement; one bone harpoon 

barb; one animal tooth; and one animal 

upper jaw fragment. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological 

information, archeological information, 

biological information, geographical 

information, historical information, 

linguistics, oral tradition, and expert 

opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the AMNH has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 16 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 15 objects described in this 

notice 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. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Stillaguamish Tribe 

of Indians of Washington; Swinomish 

Indian Tribal Community; Tulalip 

Tribes of Washington; and the Upper 

Skagit Indian Tribe.
