Island, 5 ft, contra Costa County, 

California/picked up Feb 9, 1958/part 

skeleton only/1016 A.C. Ziegler.’’ No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

The human remains were listed on 

the National Park Service Culturally 

Unidentified Inventory database, and 

Bishop Museum received information 

from the Santa Rosa Indian Community 

of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California 

(Tachi Yokut Tribe) establishing their 

cultural affiliation to the remains 

through their historic and geographical 

connection to the Contra Costa County 

area. 

Officials of the Bishop Museum have 

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

3001(9), the human remains described 

above represent the physical remains of 

one individual of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of the Bishop 

Museum also 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 the Santa Rosa Indian Community 

of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California 

(Tachi Yokut Tribe). 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Betty Lou Kam, VicePresident, Cultural Resources, Bishop 

Museum, 1525 Bernice St., Honolulu, HI 

96817, telephone (808) 848–4144, before

Notice of Inventory Completion: Paul 

H. Karshner Memorial Museum, 

Puyallup, WA 

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 Paul H. 

Karshner Memorial Museum, Puyallup, 

WA. The human remains were removed 

from the Aleutian Islands, AK. 

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 Paul H. 

Karshner Memorial Museum 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Aleut 

Corporation. 

Prior to 1945, human remains 

representing a minimum of one 

individual were removed from the 

Aleutian Islands in Alaska. On May 5, 

1945, the human remains were donated 

to the museum by Lee Anna (or 

Lavanna) McAllister (Catalog # 1–93, 

Accn. #1945–1). Museum records state 

that the human remains are ‘‘one skull 

from Aleutian Islands. Found at the 

mouth of the Salmon River on the 

shores of the Bering Sea’’. No known 

individual was identified. No associated 

funerary objects are present. 

Research into the donor has not 

indicated how she may have acquired 

the human remains. There is no known 

‘‘Salmon River’’ that drains into the 

Bering Sea, however, ‘‘Salmon Lagoon’’ 

was a location with significant U.S. 

military presence during World War II 

on Kiska Island, Aleutian Islands. 

Military records were searched to locate 

a McAllister who may have been 

stationed on Kiska Island, but no further 

information was identified. Although no 

further information could be identified, 

based on the known military presence 

on Kiska Island at Salmon Lagoon and 

the date of the donation (post-World 

War II), this individual is reasonably 

believed to have been collected by 

military personnel. 

The museum’s inventory book 

identifies the human remains as being 

part of the ‘‘Native American Collection’’ 

and being from the Aleutian Islands, 

AK. The Aleutian Islands are known to 

be aboriginal lands for the Aleut 

Corporation. Based on museum records, 

geographical location, and consultation, 

the museum reasonably believes the 

individual is culturally affiliated with 

the Aleut Corporation. 

Officials of the Paul H. Karshner 

Memorial Museum have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9)-(10), 

the human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the Paul H. Karshner 

Memorial Museum also 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 the Aleut 

Corporation. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Jay Reifel, Assistant 

Superintendent, Paul H. Karshner 

Memorial Museum, telephone (253) 

840–8971, or Ms. Beth Bestrom, 

Museum Curator, Paul H. Karshner 

Memorial Museum, telephone (253) 

841–8748, 309 4th St. NE, Puyallup, WA 

98372, before June 3, 2010. Repatriation 

to the Aleut Corporation may proceed 

after that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Paul H. Karshner Memorial 

Museum is responsible for notifying the 

Aleut Corporation that this notice has 

been published.
