Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. 

The one associated funerary object is a 

large mammal rib. The human remains 

and associated funerary object in this 

notice were removed from Sinclair 

Island in Skagit County, WA from an 

area ‘‘westerly of Urban’’. The 

community of Urban is in the southwest 

portion of Sinclair Island. In 1952, Dr. 

Herbert Taylor and WWU students 

conducted an excavation, the exact 

location of which is unknown, however 

the Women’s Athletic Association of the 

Bellingham Normal School, now WWU, 

purchased property with a cabin on 

Sinclair Island in 1928. This property is 

located west of and near the community 

of Urban. No known individuals were 

identified. No hazardous chemicals are 

known to have been used to treat the 

human remains while in the custody of 

WWU. 

The human remains 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, archaeological information, 

geographical information, historical 

information, and oral tradition. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The WWU has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The one object described in this 

notice is reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains and associated funerary 

object described in this notice and the 

Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation 

and the Samish Indian Nation. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

authorized representative identified in 

this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization with cultural affiliation. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after October 10, 2024. 

If competing requests for repatriation 

are received, the WWU must determine 

the most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The WWU is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The one 

object of cultural patrimony is a basket 

that was donated to the University of 

Georgia libraries in 2016 from Nancy 

Montgomery. The object of cultural 

patrimony was appraised prior to its 

donation and the appraisal

Laboratory has been unable to locate 

information for any research on this 

object and does not have any history of 

contamination. 

Determinations 

The University of Georgia, Laboratory 

of Archaeology has determined that: 

• The one object of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice have 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the 

Native American group, including any 

constituent sub-group (such as a band, 

clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or 

other subdivision), according to the 

Native American traditional knowledge 

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Timbisha Shoshone 

Tribe. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for
