SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of Willamette 

University, and additional information 

on the determinations in this notice,

can be found in its inventory or related 

records. The National Park Service is

Abstract of Information Available 

Human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The osteological elements from one 

individual include a mandible, four 

teeth, two radii, two humeri, five 

vertebrae, and one femur. There is no 

known acquisition history of the 

ancestral remains, but the 

preponderance of the evidence suggests 

that either W.S. Laughlin or John 

Rademaker disturbed and acquired 

these remains. There were no markings, 

labels, or other documentation found 

with this individual. The geographic 

location is unknown but is likely 

associated with the Willamette Valley, 

Oregon mounds excavated by Laughlin 

or near The Dalles, Oregon site 

excavation by Rademaker. Cultural 

affiliation is unknown but likely the 

Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, 

Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, or 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs based on information available, 

including archeological, geographical, 

and historical. The remains have not 

been tested for the presence of any 

potentially hazardous substances. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is reasonably identified by the 

geographical location or acquisition 

history of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice. 

Determinations 

Willamette University has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains described in this notice 

and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz 

Indians of Oregon; Confederated Tribes 

of the Grand Ronde Community of 

Oregon; and the Confederated Tribes of 

the Warm Springs Reservation of 

Oregon.

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after November 14,

copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes 

and Native Hawaiian organizations

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The 

determinations in this notice are the 

sole responsibility of the Wisconsin 

Historical Society, and additional 

information on the determinations in

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The item is 

described in WHS’ documentation as a 

‘‘Chilkat blanket, 44′′ x 24′′, plus fringe. 

Yellow, black, blue and white design. 

Native dyes. Made at Klukwan, Alaska. 

Mountain goat wool.’’ Through 

consultation, the design on the blanket 

has been identified as one owned by the 

Tlingit. This blanket was donated to 

WHS by Mrs. P.A. Strommen of Aniwa, 

Wisconsin. Mrs. Strommen indicated in 

correspondence that the blanket was 

‘‘made by the [Chilkoot] Indians at 

Klukwan, Alaska.’’ WHS has no record 

of this blanket being treated with any 

potentially hazardous substances in the 

past. The one sacred item and object of 

cultural patrimony is one blanket. 

Determinations 

The Wisconsin Historical Society has 

determined that: 

• The one object described in this 

notice is, according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of an 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization, specific ceremonial objects 

needed by a traditional Native American 

religious leader for present-day 

adherents to practice traditional Native 

American religion, and has 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). 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Central Council of 

the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES. 

Requests for repatriation may be 

submitted by 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 a culturally affiliated 

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 14, 2024. If

received, the Wisconsin Historical 

Society must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to

repatriation of the cultural item are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The Wisconsin 

Historical Society is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the
