sherds; 10 shell spoons/fragments; 1 

wooden tablet; 19 bone tools; 1 polished 

bone tube; 3 samples of unidentified 

material; 27 ceramic vessels; 1 sample of 

material from inside of a copper covered 

coiled wooden object; 41 wood/ 

fragments; 1 worked shell; and 20 

miscellaneous worked stone/fragments. 

The excavations at the site were 

primarily conducted at an area currently 

identified as ‘‘Mound C,’’ which had 

previously been partially excavated by 

other agencies, at the edge of Mound B 

and in the ‘‘Village Area’’ of the 52–acre 

historic site. Radiocarbon studies 

indicate that the burials date from A.D. 

800 to 1400. The site is normally 

identified as a ‘‘Mississippi Site’’ that 

dates from A.D. 900 to 1550. There is no 

absolute archeological proof that links 

the site with any modern day Indian 

tribe. Evidence in the form of historical 

documents, early maps, and a listing of 

common lifeway traits were presented 

by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of 

Oklahoma, Poarch Band of Creeks, 

Kialegee Tribal Town, Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town, and Alabama-Quassarte 

Tribal Town during consultation. 

Similar information was presented by 

the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, 

Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and 

United Keetowah Band of Cherokee 

Indians, who occupied the Bartow 

County area at the time of forced 

removal (A.D. 1838). However, the 

Cherokee do not have a shared group 

relationship to the Native American 

human remains described in this notice, 

as the Cherokee were not present in the 

area prior to approximately A.D. 1450, 

which post-dates the burials at Etowah. 

The results of the consultation and 

studies with the tribes, have determined 

that there is a reasonable belief of a 

shared group identity between the 

Native American human remains and 

associated funerary objects from the 

Etowah Mounds and the modern 

Muscogeean (Creek) Tribes. The 

Muscogeean (Creek) Tribes are 

represented by the Alabama-Quassarte 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal 

Town, Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) 

Nation, Oklahoma; Poarch Band of 

Creek Indians of Alabama; and 

Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma. 

Officials of the Georgia Department of 

Natural Resources have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the 

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 404 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Georgia 

Department of Natural Resources also 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 187,060 objects 

described 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 

Georgia Department of Natural 

Resources have determined that, 

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

a relationship of shared group identity 

that can be reasonably traced between 

the Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects and the 

Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 

Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek 

Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and/ 

or associated funerary objects should 

contact Dr. David Crass, State 

Archaeologist, Department of Natural 

Resources, Historic Preservation 

Division, 34 Peachtree Street NW, Suite 

1600, Atlanta, GA 30303, telephone 

(404) 656–9344, before April 24, 2009. 

Repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Kialegee Tribal Town, 

Oklahoma; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 

Oklahoma; Poarch Band of Creek 

Indians of Alabama; and Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town, Oklahoma may proceed 

after that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Georgia Department of Natural

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

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

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the possession of the 

Northwest Museum (formerly Maxey 

Museum), Whitman College, Walla 

Walla, WA. The human remains were 

removed from Walla Walla County, WA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Whitman 

College and Northwest Museum 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Confederated 

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 

Reservation, Oregon. 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from a home 

site in Walla Walla, Walla Walla 

County, WA. In 1929, the human 

remains were donated to the Northwest 

Museum at Whitman College by Mr. 

Emory Frank (WHIT–X–0008; Old Cat. 

No. 540, 5743 and WHIT–XX–0049; Old 

Cat. No. 5743). No known individual 

was identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

According to museum records, the 

human remains were identified as 

Indian, and were found buried in a 

sitting position. The human remains are 

determined to be Native American 

based on skeletal morphology, as well as 

on museum records of the provenience. 

The city of Walla Walla is within the 

ceded lands of the Confederated Tribes 

of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, 

Oregon. The ceded land of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation extends over 6.4 

million acres in eastern Oregon and 

southeast Washington, and was 

occupied by the Weyiiletpu. Walla 

Walla is in an area that the Pasxapu 

band of the Weyiiletpu used for winter 

quarters. The Walla Walla River and its 

tributaries is where they fished for 

salmon and gathered foods and 

medicines along the river banks and 

ridges. The Pasxapu summers were 

spent hunting, fishing, and gathering 

foods and medicines in the adjacent 

Blue Mountains. Consultation evidence 

from tribal representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation further supports this 

evidence of occupation. Descendants of 

the Walla Walla (Waluulapam), 

Umatilla (Imatalamlama), and Cayuse

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Texarkana Museums System,

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

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

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Texarkana 

Museums System (formerly the 

Texarkana Historical Museum), 

Texarkana, TX. The human remains and 

associated funerary objects were 

removed from Bowie County, TX. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Texarkana 

Museums System professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. 

In 1978, human remains representing 

a minimum of three individuals were 

removed from the Cabe Mounds in 

Bowie County, TX. The human remains 

and associated artifacts were acquired 

by the museum through its thendirector, Katy Caver, as part of an 

archeological survey of the region. No 

known individuals were identified. The 

141 associated funerary objects are 3 

pieces of pottery; 13 pottery fragments; 

2 beads; 2 projectile points; 70 lots of 

debitage; and 51 pre-form tools and 

fragments. 

Two of the three individuals removed 

from the Cabe Mounds were found 

scattered around two burials, and the 

remaining individual was found intact 

in a third burial. The pottery fragments, 

tools and tool fragments were found 

scattered among all three burials. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects are related to the Caddo Nation 

who settled the Red River Valley more 

than 1,200 years ago. The Caddo Nation 

remained a strong presence in this 

region well into the 18th century. The 

manner of interment is consistent with 

Caddo tradition, as are the decorative 

and construction techniques used in the 

pottery found in proximity to the grave 

sites. References to the complex now 

known as the Cabe Mounds date back to 

the latter part of the 19th century and 

were made by C.B. Moore, one of the 

first to identify and explore Caddo sites 

in East Texas. The site was acquired by 

the Archaeological Conservancy in 

1985. 

Officials of the Texarkana Museums 

System have determined that, pursuant 

to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human 

remains described above represent the 

physical remains of three individuals of 

Native American ancestry. Officials of 

the Texarkana Museums System also 

have determined that, pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 141 objects 

described 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 

Texarkana Museums System have 

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

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the 

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally

associated funerary objects should 

contact J.A. Simmons, Texarkana 

Museums System, PO Box 2343, 

Texarkana, TX 75504, telephone (903) 

793–4831, before April 24, 2009. 

Repatriation of the human remains and

Nation of Oklahoma may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward.
