National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects from

Washington State in the Possession of

the Burke Museum, University of

Washington, Seattle, WA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

from Washington State in the possession

of Burke Museum, University of

Washington, Seattle, WA.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by the Burke

Museum professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

In 1959, human remains representing

four individuals were removed from the

property of Mr. M.V. Petersen during an

excavation of Mr. Petersen’s basement

by Mr. James C. Garner and Mr. Butler.

No known individuals were identified.

The seventeen associated funerary

objects include shell fragments, shells,

one mammal bone, two fire-cracked

rocks, an unmodified cobble, a basal

notched point, an adze blade, and two

antler adze handles.

Mr. Petersen’s property is located in

the historically and ethnographically

documented traditional territory of the

Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

In 1915, human remains representing

one individual were recovered near

Tacoma, WA, by Mr. Edward F. Drake.

No known individual was identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

Tacoma is located within historically

and ethnographically documented

traditional territory of the Puyallup

Tribe of Indians.

In 1948, human remains representing

one individual were recovered from the

Minter VI Site, Minter Bay, WA, by Mr.

John Winterhouse, Jr., during a survey

of archeological sites in Southern Puget

Sound, WA. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Minter Bay is located within the

historically and ethnographically

documented traditional territory of the

Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Burke

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of six individuals

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Burke Museum have also

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001 (3)(A), the seventeen objects listed

above 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. Lastly, officials of the Burke

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

a relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and associated funerary objects and the

Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Dr. James Nason, Chair of the

Repatriation Committee, Burke

Museum, Box 353010, University of

Washington, Seattle, WA 98195;

telephone: (206) 543–9680, before April

11, 1997. Repatriation of the human

remains and associated funerary objects

to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians may

begin after that date if no additional

claimants come forward.

The National Park Service is not

responsible for the determinations

within this notice.

Dated: March 7, 1997.
