Garland Grabert (WWU). Most of the 

work consisted of monitoring and 

salvage archaeology during construction 

activities throughout the summer of 

1975. 

The work conducted in 1976 was 

associated with, but separate from, the 

1975 Birch Bay Sewage Treatment Plant 

Survey described above. Washington 

State Parks and Recreation Commission 

(WSPRC) contracted with the Office of 

Public Archaeology at the University of 

Washington, who then subcontracted 

WWU, for reconnaissance and testing of 

the areas of Birch Bay State Park to be 

affected by developmental plans. Field 

operations, led by Garland Grabert and 

R.L. Spear, began on August 30 and 

continued until September 17, 1976. 

In 2010, Drayton Archaeological 

Research (DAR) carried out monitoring 

and data recovery excavations at 

45WH9. This effort was part of the 

mitigation for the installation of a sewer 

force main replacement in the road 

right-of-way by the Birch Bay Water and 

Sewer District. 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. 

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 seven individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 39 objects described in this 

notice are 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 

objects described in this notice and the 

Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation 

and the Nooksack Indian Tribe. 

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 

for repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

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 21, 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 

this notice.
