History and Description of the Remains 

Sometime prior to 1992, human 

remains representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from an 

unknown location. The human remains 

were donated to the University of 

Southern Mississippi by a student. The 

student acquired the human remains 

from a relative who was in law 

enforcement in the Memphis, TN, area. 

No further information is available. The 

human remains consist of a single 

cranium belonging to an adult. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Based on geographical, archeological, 

historical, and other information, there 

is a shared group identity between these 

human remains and The Chickasaw 

Nation and The Quapaw Tribe of 

Indians. 

Determinations Made by the University 

of Southern Mississippi 

Officials of the University of Southern 

Mississippi have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of at 

least one individual of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1986, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals, were 

delivered to the offices of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla 

District, by an unknown individual. 

Notes with the collection stated that one 

set of human remains had been removed 

from the Klamath Lake area in Oregon 

and the other from western Montana. It 

is not known which set of human 

remains was from which area. In 2001, 

the human remains were turned over to 

the Museum of Anthropology at 

Washington State University. No known 

individuals were identified. The two 

associated funerary objects include 1 

metal cup and 1 lot of fabric. Cultural 

affiliation for these remains was based 

primarily on the geographical locations 

of removal. In addition, the character of 

the associated funerary objects is very 

similar to funerary objects often 

associated with historic Native 

American burials in the interior 

northwest.
