village and extensive prehistoric 

cemetery exceeding 1,000 years in 

antiquity. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In 1980, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed by the Ferry County sheriff 

from the Katy Creek Site (45–FE–18), a 

late prehistoric site in Ferry County, 

WA. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

In an unknown span of years, human 

remains representing a minimum of 23 

individuals were removed by park 

visitors and staff from the surface of the 

Nancy Creek Site (45–FE–16), described 

as ‘‘an aboriginal camp, burial, and 

historic site,’’ in Ferry County, WA. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1985, human remains representing 

a minimum of three individuals were 

removed from the Nancy Creek Site (45– 

FE–16), in Ferry County, WA. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

On the basis of the geographical 

location of the sites within the Plateau 

Culture Area, documented burial 

practices, osteological evidence as 

described by archeologists and physical 

anthropologists, and the nature of 

prehistoric and historic artifacts and 

archeological sites, the human remains 

described above are Native American. 

Archeological analysis of the sites, 

anthropological research, 

ethnohistorical studies, and tribal oral 

traditions demonstrate by a 

preponderance of the evidence that the 

Native American human remains and 

associated funerary objects represent 

Plateau Culture Area, Interior Salish 

speakers who have continuously 

occupied the Columbia River drainage 

for thousands of years. The six sites are 

within the judicially established 

aboriginal territory of the Confederated 

Tribes of the Colville Reservation, 

Washington. Members of the nearby 

Spokane Tribe of the Spokane 

Reservation, Washington are also 

Interior Salish speakers, but their 

aboriginal territory is to the east, along 

the Spokane River and its tributaries. 

Officials of Lake Roosevelt National 

Recreation Area have determined that, 

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

human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of 93 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. Officials of Lake Roosevelt 

National Recreation Area also have 

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

3001 (3)(A), the 436 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 Lake 

Roosevelt National Recreation Area 

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 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and 

associated funerary objects should 

contact Deborah Bird, superintendent, 

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation 

Area, 1008 Crest Drive, Coulee Dam, 

WA 99116–0037, telephone (509) 633– 

9441, before October 3, 2008. 

Repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects to the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington may proceed 

after that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation 

Area is responsible for notifying the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington that this notice 

has been published.
