The human remains and associated

funerary objects include three bone

fragments and thirty five beads. Hood

Museum records indicate that these

items were collected from ‘‘an old

grave’’ on the edge of Tetlin Village by

Robert A. McKennan. No known

individuals were identified.

All of the items described above were

collected by the anthropologist Robert

A. McKennan in 1929–30 from Tetlin

Village, Alaska. McKennan describes

the excavation of these remains and

funerary objects on page 146 of his 1959

monograph The Upper Tanana Indians

(Yale University Publications in

Anthropology, #55). He attributes the

burial to the post 1870 period based on

the position of the body and the artifacts

associated with the burial and the

location of the grave site.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Hood

Museum of Art have determined, in

consultation with representatives of the

Tetlin Native Corporation, that,

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

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of one individual

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Hood Museum of Art have also

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

3001 (3)(A), the thirty five 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 Hood

Museum of Art 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

Tanana of Tetlin Village, Alaska.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Tetlin Native Corporation and the

Tanana Chiefs Conference.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Kellen G. Haak, Registrar and

repatriation Coordinator, Hood Museum

of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH

03755; telephone: (603) 646–3109,

before June 3, 1996. Repatriation of the

human remains and associated funerary

objects to the Tetlin Native Corporation

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains in

the possession of the Washington

State Historical Society, Tacoma, WA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d), of

the completion of an inventory of Native

American human remains currently in

the possession of the Washington State

Historical Society, Tacoma, WA.

A detailed inventory and assessment

has been made by the Washington State

Historical Society staff and

representatives of the Puyallup Tribe of

Indians of Washington.

The human remain consists of one

isolated skull from a male, 20 to 30

years of age which was recovered near

Rodondo, Washington. The skull was

donated to the museum in 1930 by Dr.

W. T. Thomas of Tacoma, Washington.

A second skull from a male, 35 to 45

years, was recovered in 1908 on the

Puyallup Indian Reservation. This skull

was donated to museum’s possession in

1915 by C. Arthur Foss of Tacoma,

Washington. No known individuals

were identified.

Redondo, WA is within the

boundaries of the original Puyallup

reservation as defined in the Medicine

Creek Treaty of 1854. Robert Hunt in

‘‘Tacoma, Its History and its Builders, A

Half a century of Activity’’, 1916,

identifies the Puyallup as occupying of

the area for ‘‘ * * *unnumbered

centuries, * * *’’. Archeological evidence

is consistent with long uninterrupted

occupation of the area.

Based on the available records as well

as ethno-historical and geographical

evidence reviewed by the Tribe during

consultation, officials of the Washington

State Historical Society have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10

(d)(1), the human remains listed above

represent the physical remains of two

individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Washington

State Historical Society 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 the human remains and

the Puyallup Tribe of Indians of

Washington.

This notice has been sent to Puyallup

Tribe of Indians of Washington.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with the human remains

should contact Lynn D. Anderson, Head

of Collections, Washington State

Historical Society, 315 N. Stadium Way,

Tacoma, WA 98403, telephone (206)

597–4232, before June 3, 1996.

Repatriation of the human remains to

the Puyallup Tribe may begin after that

date if no additional claimants come

forward.
